Desire/Acquire: Wooden Tripod Floor Lamp
The Ralph Lauren Architect Floor Lamp ($600) is a chic, classic, and polished design that's ideal for the traditional homes of those cable-knit-sweater-wearing women. I find it très élégant with its rich red mahogany, and I love how it references the three-legged design of a surveyor's tripod. And, while I'm sure it's a very sturdy and high quality, I couldn't bring myself to spend 600 smackers on a floor lamp that's not a statement piece (this guy's more of a filler).
Good, Better, Best: Chic Backgammon Sets
Even if you haven't a clue how to play backgammon, these chic boards will put you on top of your design game. Laid out on a coffee table, backgammon sets are like the leisure-time equivalent of a pretty art book or an elegant bowl. Here are three to suit your budget, whatever it may be.
Inspired: Ralph Lauren NY Fashion Week 2009
Fashion Week may be over, but we've still got the runway images to gawk over. Since we can't sport the new gear 'til Spring, I figured I may as well use it as inspiration for interiors. The Ralph Lauren ensemble shown here is a bit costume-y, but I love its balance of rough, sporty safari elements with glamazon sequins, and its palette of army greens and rustic browns.
Love It or Hate It? Ralph Lauren Madras Quilt
Even though I was the furthest thing from a preppy in high school, some part of me still loves the look of madras. However, I'm torn about whether I could pull off a Ralph Lauren Madras Quilt ($249.99) in my bedroom. Obviously, I'd switch up the style a little with some less country-cute pillows, to give the quilt an edge, but I'm not sure if that's enough of a change.

Su Casa: My Living Room
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member DrAzucar from the Su Casa group:
Our living room is definitely a work-in-progress. I'm hoping to get new curtains this year. Maybe something with a bit more pattern. I really wish that I had a before picture of this room! We immediately took out the vertical blinds, painted the pink walls a warm gray (Cinder Block by Ralph Lauren), and took out the old faux-stone fireplace surround and the massive woodblack mantlepiece.

Before and After: A Goodwill Chair
Su Casa member Leahlarocco spotted this grungy old chair at Goodwill on sale for $7. There was nothing pretty about the upholstery or even the finish (it's basically an office chair), but she saw potential in it. She decided to paint the frame with Ralph Lauren silver metallic paint, and reupholster it with a $3 Waverly fabric and some charming blue trim.
Cool Idea: Pink Walls and a Patterned Floor
Creative lady extraordinaire Medley recently turned a forgotten attic at a Craftsman home into a patterned and pink wonderland. She explains, "I have a degree in Architecture, and when I work full time, that's my main profession. I think that makes me a little bolder in my color selections than is typical.
Love It or Hate It? Twinkle Living Dancing Unicorn Throw
If you're looking for a fashionable throw under which to snuggle up with your sweetie, take a gander at this Twinkle Living Dancing Unicorn Throw ($392). I love the way it echoes the Ralph Lauren Polo logo, but I also know that unicorns aren't for everyone. Is it for you?
Trend Alert: Not So Trad Plaid
While I've often considered plaid to be way too traditional for my pad, I've recently had a change of heart. I love the way that actress Nina Hoss turns tartan on its head with this outfit, as well as how Ralph Lauren reimagines plaid in crystal in the bowl below. FabSugar rounded up some appealing plaids in her Trend Alert back in September, and I thought it was high time that I highlighted some plaid for your pad.
