Crave Worthy: Frank Gehry Vases for Tiffany & Co.
Following up on his jewelry collection for Tiffany & Co., famed architect Frank Gehry has created a line of vases for one of the world's best-known jewelers.
Gehry is definitely one of those figures that people either love or hate, and I'm guessing the Frank Gehry collection at Tiffany & Co. will be just as polarizing.
Ask Casa: A Color Palette Query
Hi Casa,
I am moving into an apartment soon with roommates and want some help decorating. I get my own room and can style it any way I want but can't decide on the color palette.
I love dark moody lounge type colors (dark grays, reds, purples, etc.) and bright bold colors for furniture, but the room is not that big.
Get the Look: An Audrey-Inspired Studio
Audrey Hepburn's glamorous look in Breakfast at Tiffany's was influential, to say the least. But back when I lived in a studio apartment, I found her home style — and her ability to throw a cocktail party in a one-room apartment — more inspiring. So for today's Get the Look, I decided to design a studio apartment influenced by those Breakfast at Tiffany's digs.
On the Market: Former Home of Truman Capote
The former estate of Truman Capote, author of literary classics Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood, in Sagaponack, NY, is on the market for $14.6 million. Though he was actually a New Orleans native, Capote lived in the Long Island home until his death in 1984.
A cached listing for the property reads:
Hear the ocean from this very private and breathtaking setting in the heart of Sagaponack.
Casa Quickie: Abracadabra, Fully Furnished!
Long before I started registering for gravy boats and Tiffany silverware, I lived in a studio that, let's just say, was a little light in the furnishings department: a couch, a table, one cloth napkin, one wine glass (highest return on investment!), and a Pyrex pan that doubled as mixing bowl. So, if you're looking in your cabinets thinking "How the heck can I feed 15 people with only six plates and six chairs?" then I empathize.

Nice and New: PBteen Wooden Drawing Mannequins
As someone who tore down her boy band posters years ago, and who certainly has no teenage offspring to decorate for, I usually find PBteen unapproachable. I always go back for a surf though, in hopes of finding an unusual gem like these art school style Wooden Drawing Mannequins ($45 for a set of three, on sale).
The ice-blue shade is reminiscent of those iconic Tiffany's boxes we all know and love, and would contribute a nice kick of color to any room.
