When it comes to coexisting with pets, sometimes it isn't clear who rules the roost. Even in no-pets-on-furniture homes, our furry friends eventually crowd us out of our beds and claim the couch during The Bachelor because nothing is off-limits when the sleepies hit or when they just need a better vantage point from which to supervise the household. We could get mad . . . or we could just sit Read more
I'm a huge fan of walnut and bright colors, so it's only natural that I'm majorly attracted to this gorgeous Johansson Dresser from Khouri Guzman Bunce Limited. The piece is made from a thin skin of lacquered aluminum, which encases a dresser constructed of walnut burl exteriors and solid walnut interiors. Each drawer features handmade glides and milled copper pulls. Bright pops of color contrast Read more

You don't have to limit yourself to shopping for a stylish and functional media cabinet at Ikea, Crate and Barrel, or EQ3 — you can get a sweet retro-styled credenza to fit your flat screen TV, video game consoles, and more over on Etsy. Check out a few beauties I found while clicking through the site, and be sure to grab a tissue to mop up the drool from your keyboard. Read more
There is something so special about the graceful shape of the lotus flower. But what's even more beautiful is the story of how the plants grow and develop: out of the muck at the bottom of a river or lake, deep-rooted and gnarled roots develop into an absolutely beautiful flower. The shape of the lotus has long been associated with zen thought and Eastern design. Enjoy these pieces of home décor Read more
Pixelated furniture and accessories aren't just for the geek at heart anymore. These days, pixel-inspired home goods are chic, cool, and totally sophisticated. Just look at the examples from Cristian Zuzunaga — not only did he craft that beautiful couch (that I'm still lusting over), but the pixel bag and scarf could jazz up any ole outfit. Now that I mention it, that rug is his, too. He must Read more
One of my favorite products I discovered at Messe Frankfurt's Ambiente consumer goods trade show in February was the Flux Chair, a weather-proof polypropylene origami chair, which can be used indoors or out. Designed by Dutch industrial designers Douwe Jacobs and Tom Schouten, it folds out from flat to a chair in only 10 seconds. Better yet, it's light as a feather at only 10.6 lbs., but can Read more
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member simplysofie from the Su Casa group: Remember those burl wood tables from the '70s? Well, they’re back! I picked one up from a thrift store in the San Fernando Valley for $25. It was left outside amongst some old tools. It had a thick, yellow, shiny varnish that was not cool. So I sanded it and chiseled out a hole for succulents and here it is: Read more
Last week I bought this antique leather wing chair at an antique shop in San Francisco. I'm kind of obsessed with it! It has so many amazing features like nailhead trim, turned-wood arms, a ladder back, and of course, tufted leather. Its leather cushion is also worn in and a little cracked, which is the well-loved look that I'd been seeking. When I bought it, the leather was a little worse for Read more
April 22 marks Earth Day, and in anticipation of that most eco of days, I wanted to inspire you with some eco decorating ideas. Going green in your home doesn't just mean using biodegradable cleaners and CFL bulbs; it also means choosing your furniture and accents with some eco factors in mind. One of the most green ways you can go when it comes to furniture is to buy a vintage piece and have it Read more
