Roundup: Capiz Craze
It's no secret that capiz chandeliers and table lamps have become trendy in the last few years. But the mother-of-pearl shells (named for the province in the Philippines where they originate) have also found their way to everything from mirrors to tissue boxes, proving that the delicate, glittery material is also a versatile one. I love this capiz chandelier hanging in a room designed by Michelle Williams Interiors.
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.
Crave Worthy: Hudson Serena Drum Chandelier
Maybe I'm just on a capiz pendant kick lately, but I'd have a hard time selling these sea shells by the shore. The Hudson Serena Drum Chandelier (inquire for price) is a natural capiz shell chandelier with brass detailing. Measuring 16.25" H x 26" D, it'll really light up your home.

Casa Verde: Maria Menounos' Eco Outdoor Makeover
In collaboration with JCPenney, Danny Seo recently gave Maria Menounos' backyard an eco makeover for "Access Green" on Access Hollywood and Life & Style. This beautiful image is a peek at the made-over farmhouse table, which was updated with some wildflowers in a galvanized bucket, vintage silverware, some simple white dishes and glass water bottles, colorful tumblers filled with organic lemonade, a bowl of gorgeous green limes, and an understated yet chic capiz lantern. There's nothing fancy or unattainable about this table setting, but it's still completely and utterly glamorous.
Crave Worthy: Neiman Marcus Textured Lamp
The long lost sister of my beloved Haley Table Lamp, the Neiman Marcus Textured Lamp ($375) has a great gourd-shape, a silky barrel shade, and a versatile three-way switch. But, the base of this beauty has a busy, capiz-like texture that's eye-catching, feminine, and casts a warm glow. I'd love to see her with a Mansour rug and perhaps some Winter velvets in a girl-y boudoir.
Casa Craving Recap: CasaSugar Logo
I was full of myself last week, so for the latest Casa Craving Challenge, I asked you to design a chic, peppy living room around the salmon and brown color palette of the CasaSugar logo. You were allowed to use other colors too, but those should have been the dominant colors.
You can see all of the CasaSugar logo Casa Cravings here, as well as the great lists the users created.
