Desire/Acquire: Warm Wool Throws
Nothing's cozier on a Winter evening than cuddling up under a cozy throw on your sofa. I love this Gump's Sweater Knit Throw ($325), which resembles your boyfriend's oversized sweater, and whose handknit cables give it an extra touch of authenticity. It's a great color and looks silky, but it's an acrylic/wool/poly blend, which is not my favorite cuddling fabric combination.
Love It or Hate It? The Empress Desk
The Empress Desk ($7,500) has me dreaming of writing long, romantic letters in a perfectly slanting script. Unfortunately, no one can read my cursive, so these dreams might be all for naught.

Crave Worthy: Tansu Shelves
Tansu are traditional Japanese chests, handcrafted of woods such as cypress, keyaki, Japanese cedar, and koa. The shelves are distinguished by the beautiful ornament in the metal fittings and inventive techniques employed to offer storage space. Tansu are considered the most prolific and important element of the highly-regarded Japanese interior-design styles.
Leafy Autumn Accents
In case you haven't noticed, I get really excited about the arrival of autumn. There's something about the crisp, cool air that makes me want to hang a festive but unfussy wreath and make spiced cider.
Of course, there's nothing more classically autumnal than images of falling leaves, so I've been scouting out some pretty fall accents with a leafy look.
Crave Worthy: Gump's Cerulean Display Case
Thank goodness Jackieos bookmarked this Gump's Cerulean Display Case ($3,950), or otherwise, I would have never known to start saving money to buy it as soon as humanly possible. In case you couldn't tell, I absolutely love this shelving unit, which would be perfect for displaying china or another collection.
I like that it looks somewhat traditional but mixes things up by juxtaposing the bright aqua back wall with the dark lacquered wood.
Good, Better, Best: Classical Computer Armoires
Not all of us have the luxury of a separate home office. And for anyone who works in a multi-purpose room — such as a living room or guest room — a computer armoire is a great buy.
These workstations are large enough to contain all of your tech needs, and the elegant doors let you hide your clutter when the desk isn't in use.
Trend Alert: Mirror, Mirror Off the Wall
Until recently, mirrored-front furniture always made me think of the '80s. But lately, I've noticed a spate of off-the-wall mirror pieces — including end tables and dressers — that evoke everything from geometric art deco design to delicate, feminine boudoirs.
I never thought I'd find myself drawn to mirrored furniture, but now I'm appreciating even the more '80s-leaning items, like this pair of Gump's Mirrored Stacking Tables ($295).
