Found It! Candlesticks in Away We Go
While the conversation in Sam Mendes's new comedy-drama Away We Go looks lively, it's the stylish glass candlesticks on the sideboard of this dining room that caught my attention. I actually own a few of these, and they're a staple at one of my favorite home retailers. Want to know where they're from?
Etsy Find: Jean Pelle Dorit Candleholder
Ever since I came across her Vanity Cabinet, I've been keeping tabs on Brooklyn-based designer Jean Pelle's work. My latest fave is her Dorit Candleholder ($35), a faceted, rock-like, hand-cut wooden candleholder, hand-leafed with 24k yellow gold. The gold faces are unexpected and an interesting, luxurious partner to the masculine wood.
Steal of the Day: Perched Bird Candleholders
I've blogged lots and lots about birds, and even wrote a post entirely full of bird puns. So, it's no secret that I love dem birds! Some of you have expressed that you're not big fans of the bird trend, but I am, so I've decided to cover my ears and show you the Wisteria Perched Bird Candleholders ($16 for two).
Steal of the Day: JCPenney Studio Capiz Shell Candleholder
In my recent Casa Verde, I told you about Danny Seo's eco makeover of Maria Menounos' backyard, and showed you a few products to help you get the look in your outdoor space. Well, lucky you, the JCPenney Capiz Shell Candleholder ($19-$24) that Seo used, which is made of natural capiz shells harvested from the waters of the Philippines, is on sale! It does look fab outdoors on Menounos' farmhouse table, but there's no reason why you can't enjoy one inside as well.

How-To: Turn Pumpkins Into Candleholders
Your jack-o'-lantern may be rotting on your back porch like mine (oops!), but that's no reason to shun pumpkins altogether. You can make seasonal candle holders that would be perfect for a Thanksgiving table from some inexpensive, mini pumpkins from your grocery store or local farmers market. I noticed this little trick within a DIY for making a mini pumpkin centerpiece on Martha Stewart, but I'm not so keen on the entire centerpiece idea.

Roundup: Santa and His Elves
It may be too late to revamp this year's holiday decor, but that isn't stopping me from scoping out modern Santa and elven accents to add to my arsenal. If you celebrate Christmas, don't think for a second that the traditional Clausian iconography has to be tacky.
These North Pole-themed home wares, like the CB2 Elf Candleholders ($5.95) I've been eyeing, are so chic, you could almost leave them out year-round.
Casa Craving Recap: A Table(scape) For These Chairs
Given my love for everything ikat, I was of course smitten with this set of 4 Napoleon III side chairs (circa 1860), with their ebonized wood frames and sumptuous silk Ikat fabric.
For this week's Casa Craving Challege I asked you to find a table that could stand up stylistically to these amazing chairs. And if you were so inclined, I also encouraged you to go on to find table accessories, such as candleholders, centerpieces, floral arrangements, and glass and tableware that would work with the chairs.

Okay, so I think we've pretty much established that I have a love for everything ikat. These chairs then, are of course no exception. This set of 4 Napoleon III side chairs (circa 1860) have ebonized wood frames and upholstered in sumptuous handmade silk Ikat fabric.
