Found It! Tommy Hilfiger Window Display Chandelier

CasaSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:00:50 -0700

Cruising through downtown San Francisco, I stopped to look at this Tommy Hilfiger window display at Macy's. I like the cohesive statement the yellow chandelier, mantel, and chairs makes. It looks sunny in a cozy way, but it also seems peculiar to me to see Adirondack chairs used indoors. Nevertheless, the bright yellow antler chandelier is my favorite element. Wondering where you can buy one for yourself? Then read more.

It's the Antler Chandelier ($2,875 with six antlers) by artist Jason Miller. It originally debuted in only a natural white color, but now it's available in 50 other custom colors with four to 24 antlers. This color is called Harvest.

Steal of the Day: Two Glamorous Sofas Under $1,000

CasaSugar — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 08:00:29 -0800

A sofa often comprises the largest decorating cost in a living or sitting room. Since it's also a focal point of the room and a high-traffic seating area, it's important not to just snatch up the cheapest thing you can find. Luckily, there are good-looking, even striking, sofas out there that won't cost you an arm and a leg, and that won't give you a backache either.
Take this Macy's Alexandra Sofa ($949, reduced from $1,269). Simple, handsome curves and glamorous upholstery available in sea blue, indigo, or plum make this piece not only versatile, but cheerful and stylish. And it's made of high-density foam cushioning and wire spring seating for ultimate comfort, with a hardwood frame for added durability. On sale, it comes in under $1,000, which is a good investment, but not a bankruptcy-inducing splurge.

The Pier 1 Carmen Sofa ($699, reduced from $999) is a great bargain to begin with. Its two plush cushions and rolled arms make it a comfortable couch, but its nailhead trim and turned wood legs give it polish and glamour. The dusty beige upholstery adapts well to many color palettes, and you can give it a kick of color with a pair of throw pillows.

Steal of the Day: Style & Co. Trees Bedding

CasaSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 11:00:55 -0700

I don't know if you've seen Macy's Style & Co. bedding linens before, but they have a modern style with clean lines and an easy mix-and-match arrangement that I really adore. As its name suggests, the Trees Bedding Collection ($29.99-99.99) is inspired by nature, with a bold tree print, but its mix of pattern and texture - strands and waves of amethyst, an origami pillow sham, painterly speckles, and negative mirrored imagery - will give any bed a really unique look. It's not so modern, though, that it's only fit for a modern Los Angeles bachelor pad; its neutral hues
keep things reserved and its botanical patterns give it a feminine edge. Oh: and did I mention it's on sale?

Sale Alert: Macy's Big Fall Home Sale

CasaSugar — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 14:00:42 -0700

I'll be the first to admit that Macy's has a lot of sales, some of them just so-so. But when the retailer says "big home sale," it isn't joking around. Not only are these sale items reduced 20 to 50 percent, but there are a lot of them, and you get free shipping on orders of $99 or more.

The discounted goodies include everything from stylish Martha Stewart Collection accessories and Calvin Klein bedding (left) to trendy mirrored furniture and faux bois finds. Check out some of my favorites in the widget below, and shop the sale here.

Sale Alert: Macy's Home and Semi-Annual Furniture Sale

Macy's is currently holding both a Home Sale and their Semi-Annual Furniture Sale, offering great savings and values on bed, bath, kitchen, dining, and furniture items. I must admit that I've gotten pretty lucky in the past with Macy's sales, so I highly suggest you check it out if you're looking for anything from a serving dish to a sectional. Oh, and pick up something for me while you're at it! Here are a few things I wouldn't mind calling my own:

Good, Better, Best: Mid-Century Tufted Sofas

CasaSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 05:30:03 -0700

When it comes to rainy Friday nights, there's nothing better than curling up on the sofa with your shoes off. But when it comes to sofas, there's always a good, better, and a best. This go-round, I'm going to take a look at the trifecta of mid-century sofas, tufted, buttoned, clean-lined, and ready to make an appearance in a living room near you.

Good: Quite possibly named after everyone's favorite Mexican beer, the Macy's Corona Sofa ($899) conjures up all sorts of jokes about going South of the border. No, not really. But, it has the clean-lines, button-tufting, and tapered legs of the '60s sofas your parents lounged on while watching Dick van Dyke. The color choices aren't extensive but nothing to complain about either; it's available in pear, café noir, or stone. But, bummer: this three seater's fabric is an acrylic, polyester and nylon blend.

To see photos and hear about the other two, read more.

Corona Sofa - $899.00	Petrie Sofa - $1,499.00
Wells 78" Two-Cushion Sofa in Ambassador Leather - $2,599.00

Better: The Crate & Barrel Petrie Sofa ($1,499) is a step in the right direction, with a similar frame, button-tufting, tapered legs, and a two-cushion construction. Like most of Crate & Barrel's upholstery, this sofa is available in a variety (13) of color options. It's also upholstered in cotton fabric 100% brushed cotton fabric (rather than synthetics!) finished with stoneguard for max clean-ability.

Best: The Room & Board Wells Sofa ($2,599) has a similar frame and button-tufting to the Petrie, but it modernizes the mid-century look by opting for a handsome, rectangular-leg base, rather than the tapered legs of the first two. This looker is made of full, top-grain, full-aniline dyed leather, available in your choice of five basic colors.

Steal of the Day: Style & Co. Lotus Blossom Bedding

CasaSugar — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 07:45:55 -0700

Envision the love child of the Marimekko Himmeli Linens and Jonathan Adler Hollywood Duvet sporting the pale yellow and gray trend on Spring Break, and you're looking at the Style & Co. Lotus Blossom Bedding ($24-$79). I myself own a set of Style & Co. sheets — not the softest you'll ever sleep on, but certainly nothing to complain about. With patterns modern enough you'll feel like you actually have "style" yet still subdued in color, you won't tire of these linens quickly. But, if you do, you know I'll have your back soon enough with another Steal of the Day.

Steal of the Day: Martha Stewart Faux Bois Towels

CasaSugar — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 13:00:34 -0700

If you've yet to cash in on the faux bois trend, now's the time. A bona fide bargain shopper, I couldn't bring myself to pay full price for Martha Stewart's Faux Bois collection for Macy's, but now that some items are nearly 40 percent off, I'll gladly pony up. I'm loving the Martha Stewart Collection Faux Bois Towels ($5.99-$13.99), in particular. The soft color choices complement the rustic quality of the woodgrain pattern well — perfect for cohabitation design. The faux bois pattern is also quite realistic, which is nice; trust me, I've seen plenty of second-rate interpretations. What do you think? Need some fresh new towels for Spring?

Casa Poll: Battle of the Blues

CasaSugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 05:15:48 -0800

Both design duchess Kate Spade and homemaker extraordinaire Martha Stewart have been playing a blue note in their homeware collections for large retailers. Kate's Gwinnett Lane Turquoise Dinnerware is for sale at Bed Bath & Beyond, and Martha's Lorraine Stencil Dinnerware (along with a slew of turquoise items) is available at Macy's. Which do you prefer?

Steal of the Day: Spooky Martha Stewart Glasses

CasaSugar — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 14:42:01 -0700

There's a handful of Martha Stewart Collection items on sale at Macy's these days, and I'm particularly smitten with the price of this set of Spooky Acrylic Glasses ($5.50), especially given the upcoming holiday. Although the glasses kind of look like bear claws until you've poured in some calcium rich liquid, I still think they'd be especially cute for a family with four thirsty tots. Click the images below for more of Martha's discounted items.
