The Price Is Right
Desire/Acquire: Eames La Chaise
It's no secret that I adore most everything, OK everything, that has the Eames label attached to it. Unfortunately, I can't afford one bit of it . .
Sale Alert: Danica Studio
Dining area need a little pick-me-up? Let Danica Studio lend a helping hand. On super sale (over 50 percent off) right now at One Kings Lane, the funky wares can spruce up a table setting in no time.
Desire/Acquire: West Elm Basketweave Headboard
If you're trying to cut corners buying bedroom furniture, a headboard is definitely something you can eliminate from your shopping list. You can try one of these 10 cool headboard alternatives or even just paint a headboard. But if you insist, you might as well buy an affordable one, right?
Love It or Hate It? Bulb Chair
The shape of Belgian designer Gaëtan Van de Wyer's Bulb Chair (price available upon request) reminds me of a Dr. Seuss illustration. It's made of eco-friendly materials like rattan and water hyacinth, and eliminates the need for a reading light, since one is built right into the chair.
Desire/Acquire: Sheesha Mirrored Pillows
Last year on The City, I noticed Olivia Palermo's mirrored pillows, which were a bit glitzy Old Hollywood, but still had a muted, quiet palette. I found look-alikes over at Jayson Home and Garden, the Sheesha Pillows ($235-295, for 20 or 26 inches), but unfortunately they were still out of my budget. So I was ecstatic to recently find quite similar mirrored pillows for basically 12 percent of Jayson's price!
Before and After: 1930s Club Chairs
I've seen plenty of antique upholstered chairs at flea markets and thrift stores at affordable prices that are just begging for a makeover. But the trouble is that I don't have the time or the know-how to reupholster them myself. And the price to have them made over makes the deal not so cost-effective.
Roundup: Autumn Leaves
Are you lucky enough to see turning leaves in your neighborhood right now? Even in the Bay Area, red maple leaves and crisp orange oak leaves are dotting the sidewalks and parks around my home. I love the hues and shapes of turning Fall leaves, as well as how designers translate the pattern into their work.
Ask Casa: A Similar Script Rug
Hi Casa,
CB2 used to have a rug called Verse (in white with black handwriting, $300-500, right). They no longer carry it and I really want it. The only rug I can find that's remotely close is the DWR Manuscrit Rug ($3,400, left), and that's way out of my price range.

If you're looking for Summer savings, you've come to the right place. Home Decorators Collection has lowered prices up to 20 percent off on thousands of items in store. This includes furniture and décor for every room in the house and outdoor furnishings as well.
