Nice and New: Accessories and Furniture at Crate & Barrel
I recently received a catalog of all the new goodness at Crate & Barrel, and there's so much to love, I couldn't help but share. I'm seeing a lot of rich, deep tones like eggplant, berry, and mountainous blues, as well as a range of graphic patterns from methodical mazes to free-form kaleidoscope-like motifs. There also seems to be a few updated midcentury-style pieces, as well as several with an industrial look.

Su Casa: Minka's Updated Living Room
Su Casa member Minka has made some updates her living room, and I am thoroughly impressed! Here's what she said about the changes:
I rearranged the pictures on my wall salon-style, so there's room for more. Lots of my friends are photographers, so I'm always snagging work from them.
Love It or Hate It? Crate & Barrel Azure Chair
I like the wrap-around, bucket-like shape of the Crate & Barrel Azure Chair ($1,099), and its eco-friendly construction. But, I'm not sold on the tufting; it looks a little odd to me.

Nice and New: Crate and Barrel Taka Trunk
I've always loved the look of an antique trunk used as a coffee table, and the fact that they can double as storage for your odds and ends. But, when you're entertaining and your coffee table is spotted with wine glasses and hors d'oeuvre trays, it's a hassle to have to sacrifice your tabletop space if you want access to anything that lies in the storage trunk. So, when I came across the Taka Trunk ($499) at Crate and Barrel, I was delighted to learn that I could have it both ways.

Love It or Hate It? Jardin Chair
Things I love about the Jardin Chair ($799): It's made from sustainably harvested wood and uses plant-based eco foam. It's roomy enough for two. Its armless silhouette and wing back will make it a versatile addition to most any room.
Nice and New: Crate & Barrel Bing Table Lamp
Maybe I'm still seeing rouge, but I've really been seduced by the new Crate and Barrel Bing Table Lamp ($59). Its petite size and bubble shape of its hand-blown red glass base is certainly charming, but what I really love is how its over-sized fabric shade matches the base in color. It's rare to see matching shades and bases, and while it could look a bit overwhelming, in this case I think it's refreshingly delightful.
Steal of the Day: Crate & Barrel Dane Pendant Lamp
Faux bois may be a fading trend, but vrai bois (real wood) is not likely to ever lose its edge. That's especially true when it comes to handsome designs like the Crate & Barrel Dane Pendant Lamp ($64.95, reduced from $129). Made of a beautifully grained Brazilian sandalwood veneer shade, it will make a dapper focal point above your kitchen island or dining table.
Steal of the Day: Crate and Barrel Taisho Chest
If I weren't saving every extra penny for my wedding, I'd be spending it on this beautiful, understated Taisho Chest (on sale for $499, originally $999). This eco chic apothecary cabinet is made from reclaimed elm wood, which was recovered from old homes, government buildings, and other unused buildings in China's Shandong province. The wood is cleaned and dried, and then crafted into these beautiful chests.
