Nice and New: Amy Butler Bedding For Welspun
Just when you thought she couldn't do any more, textile designer Amy Butler has ventured into bedding. Come June, you can find her new collection for Welspun at Bed Bath & Beyond. True to her Midwest Modern aesthetic, Butler's five new bedding designs are fresh, modern, nature-inspired, and colorful (think lime, blood orange, and canary blue), with a nod to Eastern design seen in her intricate patterns.
Good, Better, Best: Glass Display Jars
Glass canisters are an elegant and versatile addition to just about any room. You can use them to store anything from sugar and flour to drinking straws and cotton balls. Or you can fill them with something purely decorative — like seashells, beads, and found objects — and use the jars as accent pieces.
Found It! Glass and Chrome Side Table
In last night's episode of Melrose Place, Lauren was a bit broody beside a glass and chrome side table. I'm generally not one for this clubby décor, but I will say the table is an example of great modernist design. In fact, it's a pretty iconic piece.
Kate's Chic, Budget-Beautiful Sun Room
Kate Abney, an editor at Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles magazine, recently sent me a TwitPic of her fabulous sun room. I asked her if she'd send me a few more photos, and some background on her room and decorating style, and she graciously obliged.
Kate's apartment is on the second floor of a large, historic (1916) yellow-brick apartment building in the heart of midtown Atlanta.

Nice and New: Amy Butler's New Organic Quilt Line
One of my favorite textile designers, Amy Butler, has teamed up with Welspun textiles to create a new organic home textiles line.

The quilts range in price from $99.99 for a twin size to $179 for a king, making these pieces not only beautiful and eco, but affordable as well.

Cool Idea: Fluorescent Fixer
I've urged you to switch over to CFLs enough, so I'm not gonna go there. But I will admit that I agree the soft-serve-like shape of CFL bulbs is less than desirable — unless you have an ice cream cone pendant light to go with. But, what if CFLs looked like the standard bulbs you've come to know and love?
Good, Better, Best: Slipper Chairs
If you're on the hunt for an accent chair to provide occasional additional seating, a slipper chair — a low-slung chair with a high back — is a great option. The classically clean lines of a traditional slipper chair design — basically two rectangles for the seat and back with no arms — make it versatile, complementing many interiors. Its low height and slightly sloped back give it more comfort than other accent chairs, and an intimate, relaxed look.
