Steal of the Day: Pottery Barn Rattan Luggage Rack

CasaSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 05:30:00 -0700

Still reeling from the parade of friends and family in your home this Summer? Prepare your house for the next busy season by outfitting guest rooms with the Pottery Barn Rattan Luggage Rack ($59.99, reduced from $89). The durable rack, made of thick rattan poles and wrapped with rattan strips, will host a revolving door of suitcases and seasonal gear.
Don't get many visitors? I'd transform it into a chic side table by having a glass top cut to fit, or even just setting a leather, rattan, or metal tray on top it. A portable tray top would be great for cocktail parties. Or you can buy two, and use them as bedside tables. What do you think?

Steal of the Day: Americana Cube

CasaSugar — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:00:12 -0700

I love stars and stripes just as much as the next Yankee, especially around the Fourth of July. But, if I'm going to invest in patriotic furnishings to use year-round, I'd prefer to make a more subtle tribute.
The Pottery Barn Americana Cube ($499, reduced from $699) has all the right ingredients. The small trunk incorporates Old Glory imagery with muted distressed fabric stripes in dusty red and blue on its sides, and hand-stitched stars on its table surface. Nothing about it says barbecue, fireworks, or hot July day, but it certainly says "America."

Desire/Acquire: Fisherman Pendant Lamp

CasaSugar — Wed, 27 May 2009 15:00:03 -0700

I love the industrial, retro look of this Modern Dose Fisherman Light ($235). Its silver-toned steel surface provides a great neutral palette that one could decorate around, or simply add to an already-established room's decor. And while it's rather reasonably priced, if I want to decorate with multiples of these (I can see three of them hanging in my kitchen), they do add up.

To find an unbelievably cheap alternative, read more.

The Fisherman Ceiling Lamp ($69) is definitely a steal, and while its shape is more cylindrical than round, it's still a close match to the Modern Dose light. It has a tarnish-resistant chrome finish, and is hard-wired. Which one do you prefer? Or does this lamp leave you angling for another alternative?

Steal of the Day: Lauria Beach Towel

CasaSugar — Tue, 26 May 2009 05:30:44 -0700

Beyond your average, solid, monogrammed towel, sophisticated beach towels are hard to come by, particularly if you'd like a patterned one. So take note: the Pottery Barn Lauria Beach Towel ($29, reduced from $39) is on sale and completely chic. Its artfully rendered botanical graphic is inspired by the vintage watercolor books that decoupage artist John Derian makes a living on. The towel has a thick cotton velour top, and is backed with cotton terry, making it the ideal thing to dry you off after a dip this Summer. And, you can also have it monogrammed to add a personal touch to your pool décor.

Nice and New: Maia Outdoor Accent Table

CasaSugar — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 05:30:59 -0700

Whether you put it on your patio or decide to decorate your loft with it, the Maia Outdoor Accent Table ($269) from Pottery Barn is a must have for Spring. Its smooth surface comes courtesy of its blend of resin, stone, and sand, which replicates the look of real stone. Unlike stone, however, it's a much lighter weight, and relatively low maintenance. I love its bulbous base and smooth, dark hue. Would you add it to your patio?

Nice and New: Pottery Barn Monroe Side Table

CasaSugar — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 05:30:16 -0700

I just noticed this new side table at Pottery Barn, and I'm totally smitten. The Carrara marble top on the Monroe Side Table ($399) is simply chic with its delicate veins and versatile color, and its hand-hammered frame gives it extra oomph. I particularly adore its geometrical, Greek key-esque shape, which recalls the Art Deco era. This design would adapt well to most interiors; it's not too modern or traditional. It just works.

Steal of the Day: Pottery Barn Pixel Crewel Rug

CasaSugar — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 14:00:38 -0700

Rugs are hard. They can pull a room together, but finding the right one can be difficult. I've seen a lot of people go for a basic sisal rug, but that can get a little boring. That's why I'm digging this Pottery Barn Pixel Crewel Rug ($149, reduced from $295). It has a very neutral palette (ivory and khaki) so it coordinates with most, if not all, colors. But it also has an interesting yet subtle pattern that offers a little something more than your bare bones natural fiber rug. The crewel design spans many styles and is very versatile, and while it does reference traditional Kilim rugs, its pixel pattern offers a contemporary, tech-y edge. It's the new neutral.
