Found It! Olivia Palermo's Mirrored Pillows

CasaSugar — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 08:00:34 -0700

If you watch The City (or read Page Six), you're familiar with self-proclaimed "social" Olivia Palermo, Whitney Port's co-worker at Diane von Furstenberg. I'm a big fan of her old-Hollywood-style apartment, which is featured on the show. As you can see, Palermo went with a calm, muted palette, leaving the walls plain and choosing white and off-white furnishings. I couldn't help but notice her mirrored throw pillows; I think they're a great way to add pattern and texture without necessarily adding color. To see where you can pick up some of your own, read more.

Jayson Home and Garden's Sheesha Pillows ($205-395) are quite similar to Olivia's pillows, if not the same. They're also quite expensive, so if you don't mind the natural color, you might also consider the Viva Terra Raw Silk Sheesha Pillows ($118-174, on sale). Sheesha, FYI, means glass and light in Hindi.

5 Romantic Loveseats and Throws

CasaSugar — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 05:30:00 -0800

Oh loveseat, there are so many reasons to love you. You can be a sofa in small spaces or a second settee to accommodate occasional guests. But best of all, you are the perfect platform on which to cozy up with one's valentine under a warm throw. Room enough for two - no more, no less.

In the spirit of this Winter holiday, I've done some matchmaking of my own: five romantic two-seater sofas and five luxuriously snuggly blankets. Whether it's an alpaca throw with an elegant Dromedary Loveseat or a homespun crochet-style blanket against a masculine leather loveseat, these pairings will put you in the mood. To see them, read more.

Sale Alert: Jayson Home & Garden Floor Model & More Sale

CasaSugar — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 15:00:47 -0800

Jayson Home & Garden's Semi Annual Floor Model & More Sale has begun and the shop is offering discounts between 30 and 50 percent (and sometimes as much as 75 percent) on floor models and other items. The sale includes Jayson's one-of-a-kind vintage and rare-find pieces, as well as a wide range of designer and vintage furnishings including sofas, chairs, tables, ottomans, chests, and sideboards. The Trada Sofa, for example, is $2,299, reduced from $3,950. The sale runs until Jan. 19, but this Chicago-based home shop is also offering free shipping until Dec. 31. A pretty fab deal when you're shopping for furniture, I must say.

Sale Alert: Jayson Home & Garden Fall Upholstery Sale

CasaSugar — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 05:30:17 -0700

If the Anthropologie Upholstery Sale didn't strike your fancy, perhaps Jayson Home & Garden's Fall Upholstery Sale will. Now through Oct. 13, the retailer is cutting prices by 20 percent on all in-stock and special order upholstery pieces. Pretty rad, right? Unfortunately, some of the pieces will still cost you an arm and a leg. But if you've been holding out for that special something, maybe this sale will push you over the edge. Here's what I wouldn't mind taking home from the sale:

Crave Worthy: Jayson Vintage Chair and Ottoman

CasaSugar — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 12:00:00 -0700

I've never met a French furnishing I didn't like. The French are relentless purveyors of style, and they win me over again and again, be it with a Chanel frock or a Philippe Starck chair. The Jayson Home & Garden Vintage Chair and Ottoman ($2,995), seating from mid-20th century France reupholstered in dark gray linen, is no exception either. I love how this glamorous gilded Louis XV is juxtaposed with the masculine tone of the fabric. No, it's probably not the most comfortable chair and ottoman
on the block, but it would look darn good in my living room.

This Just In: Jayson Home & Garden European Flea Market Launches Online

CasaSugar — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 13:00:00 -0700

Today marks the launch of the Jayson Home & Garden European Flea Market online. Thanks to the keen eyes over at Jayson, these rare finds - a mix of timeless European furniture and lighting, antique prints and oil paintings, gilded mirrors, hotel silverware, and more -have made their way from Europe and beyond to Chicago’s Lincoln Park. The market has been running locally there since April 18^th, but that's no fun for non-Illinois folk, so I’m ecstatic to see it all just a click away in my browser. Abbe over at Jayson Home & Garden was nice enough to share photos of the market, which you can get a peek at below.

Crave Worthy: Jayson Home & Garden Echeveria Heart

CasaSugar — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 06:31:52 -0800

It may be Love Shack Month, but I'd delight in gazing at this Jayson Home & Garden Echeveria Heart ($100) year round. Truth be told, if my valentine wanted to pick this sweet heart up for me this year, I would be happy to have it. Echeveria is a type of succulent which does well as a house plant. It's drought resistant and flourishes with regular deep watering, and will tolerate some shade as well as frost. Unfortunately, it's only available for delivery in Chicago. Unless I can track down a heart-shaped planter, I think I'll have to go without.

Crave Worthy: Napoleon Sideboard

CasaSugar — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 13:00:05 -0800

I love everything about this Napoleon Sideboard ($1,995). Okay - that's a lie. I don't love its price. But everything else about this sideboard, from its distressed black finish to its grace-imbued lines to its antique brass hardware, has me craving it something fierce. While it's definitely out of my budget at the moment, I'm going to have to keep my eye out for a similar one the next time I stop by the Alameda Flea Market.

Do you find this romantic sideboard as crave worthy as I do?

Casa Craving Recap: A Daring Dining Room

CasaSugar — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 06:00:53 -0700

I love the antique-looking paint on these Vintage Aqua Dining Chairs ($350). So for last week's Casa Craving Challenge, I asked you guys to put together a formal dining room with these elegant and funky pieces at the center. The only catch was that aqua shade couldn't show up anywhere else in the room.

Black-and-white ruled the palettes here, with a few surprising accent colors thrown in. I appreciate the wide variety of decorating styles you guys matched with the rather traditional chairs. You can see all of the daring dining room bookmarks here, as well as the lists users created with their items. (Learn how to create your own lists here.) Here are a few of my favorites.

Look #1, designed by ProperGray, who says: "I do daring by infusing citron and lime greens as a complementary color to the aquamarine chairs. Layered otherwise with a glamorous base of black and white, this formal and eclectic dining room stimulates the mind - and hopefully stimulates the stomach."

Look #2, designed by Klynnmorton, who went for a more floral, delicate look with pastel accents and orchid-adorned dinnerware.

Look #3, designed by Ginasugar, who "chose black furniture and white accents so the attention of the room would really focus on the chairs. Then I threw in an old photo of a Hi-Fi for a little retro touch."

Casa Craving Challenge: A Daring Dining Room

CasaSugar — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 06:00:08 -0700

Every Thursday on CasaSugar, I'll give you a decorating challenge and ask you to go Casa Craving for items that fit the look. (Here's a post explaining what a Casa Craving is and how to create one.)

I have always loved the aqua-green paint that often shows up on antique furniture, like these Vintage Aqua Dining Chairs ($350) at Jayson Home & Garden. (Thanks to Design Sponge for the tip.) The chairs are elegant but funky and could create an unexpectedly playful look in an otherwise formal dining room.

So in this Casa Craving Challenge, I'd like you to design a formal dining room using these chairs. But there's one catch: The aqua shade needs to shine, so it shouldn't show up anywhere else in the room. What dining table, chandelier, and formal accents would you put with these chairs?

Tell me by creating Casa Cravings and tagging your Cravings with the phrase daring dining room, and I'll feature the results next Wednesday, Sept. 12. Even better, you can create a list of your bookmarks; TeamSugar has a great tutorial on listmaking if you're not sure how. Please let me know if you have any questions.
