What's Your Favorite Online Home Boutique?
As part of our Best of 2007 polls, I want to know what online home boutique your credit card can't get enough of. Personally, I think chain stores and Craigslist are great places to get furniture, but boutiques are the best for unique knick knacks.

Cool Idea: A Water Purification Plant Transforms Into a Boutique Hotel
Thanks to the continued swine flu threat, travel to Mexico is unfortunately out of the question at the moment. But as soon as the danger of contracting the virus wanes, I want to book tickets to Puebla, Mexico, to stay at La Purificadora. This boutique hotel, designed by the architecture firm Legorreta + Legorreta, is located within an ex-water purification plant.
Hazelnut's Bryan Batt Opens Up to House Beautiful
If you're a design enthusiast and a New Orleans fanatic like me, you know Bryan Batt as a co-owner (with his partner Tom Cianfichi) of one of NOLA's finest décor boutiques, Hazelnut. I featured the boutique back in February of '08, and now Batt is set to ink his own home décor book. If you're just mad for Mad Men, you know him as Sterling-Cooper's in-the-closet, recently fired art director Salvatore Romano.
Nice and New: Barbara Hulanicki Flock For Graham & Brown
Legendary fashion designer Barbara Hulanicki, who founded the iconic London boutique Biba in the '60s, is taking her signature art-nouveau style to the walls. She has created Graham & Brown's Flocked Collection, including five exclusive flocked wallpaper designs — Skulls, Ophelia, Shoes, Baroque, and Antoinette. Flocked wallpaper has a history over three centuries long.
Crave Worthy: Antique Ebonized and Turquoise Silk Chairs
I love a good plush seat, but sometimes I can't help but sacrifice comfort for good looks. And, that time is now. The Antique Ebonized and Turquoise Silk Chairs ($1,300 for pair) from Paris Hotel Boutique don't look one bit comfortable, but they're just so ravishing.
Casa Shops: Rose and Radish
I used to live around the corner from Rose and Radish, so I'm glad the gallery/boutique/flower shop is becoming a major presence online. The physical store is a showcase for constantly revolving pieces: Every three months, Rose and Radish choses a different theme (such as "round" or "tea time") and curates a collection based on the theme.
If you're ever in San Francisco, I encourage you to stop by; the floral designs, in particular, are a must-see.
Casa Shops: Adelante and Curb Service
Whenever I visit friends in Austin, I try to drop by Adelante, a hip, laid-back women's clothing and lifestyle boutique. The shop, which has been in Austin since 1992, and called San Antonio home before that, is a family-owned boutique that offers everything from shoes, dresses, and jewelry to home accessories and vintage, refurbished furniture.
The owner, Tricia Roberts, has a great eye for fashionable, affordable finds, and I always find some must-have item when I stop by.
Found It! Vibrant Orange Bedspread at Seattle's Hotel Max
Seattle's Hotel Max is a vibrant boutique hotel that provides luxuriously hip accommodations for travelers. Located in downtown Seattle, the hotel features quirky-cool interiors as well as over 350 original paintings and photographs. Since I'm on an orange kick, I also had to give the hotel props for its beautiful bedspreads and pillows.
