Love It or Hate It? CB2 Tie-1-On Sectional

Julia Walsh — Sun, 22 May 2011 08:00:30 PDT

CB2's new overscaled Tie-1-On sectional is a weather-friendly, water-resistant polyester chair with black nylon straps that allows you to tie two chairs together for a loveseat, sofa, etc. It's basically a bean bag chair for the outdoors with an extra convertible feature. I don't have a backyard pool or lawn to decorate, so it may be a moot point, but I think I'd prefer a cushioned, teak chaise or something of the sort for my imaginary outdoor space. How about you? Do you love this?

CB2 Pixel Pillow: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 05:12:43 PST

It's been a while since we've seen a great geeky pillow (like these 10 great picks), but I'm loving this Pixel Pillow ($50) from CB2. The square throw features pixelated detail in shades of orange, yellow, green and blue, perfect for mixing and matching with all types of couches.

Since I'm an admitted sucker for orange, I of course love it. I also love that a geeky, tech-focused design has found its way into a mainstream retail outlet. What do you think?

Dangerous Liaisons Rug: Funny or Frightening?

Tara Sharp — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 15:00:00 PST

When I saw CB2's Dangerous Liaisons Rug ($229) - a reproduction of the Canberra Repertory Society's 2009 theater poster for Les Liaisons Dangereuses - I thought the fat-cat floor covering could be a funny and interesting conversation-starter. However, when I showed it to a co-worker (and cat lover), she deemed it "frightening." What's your verdict? Would you sport it in your home?

Lovely Little Vignettes: Sadv's Vision in Black and White

CasaSugar — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 11:00:29 PDT

CasaSugar Community member Sadv recently shared some photos of her home with the Lovely Little Vignettes group, which she submitted for CB2's The Selby contest. I love the arrangement of white frames she hung on her black wall. It just goes to show you that costly artwork isn't a necessity for a statement-making wall. Since her TV and Holly Golightly artwork sit pretty low, it's great how the three bamboo poles she placed in a vase beside them draw your eye upward.

Roundup: Honk Honk, Beep Beep!

CasaSugar — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 08:00:30 PDT

America's love affair with the automobile is no one-night stand - in fact, it's more like a marriage well into its golden years. And while that may not do us much good in terms of developing our public transit systems, it has provided endless inspiration for auto-influenced décor.

One of my latest faves is CB2's Beep Beep! Pillow ($30). It will add just the right amount of graphic punch and pop culture charm to your living room.
