13 Do You Use a Chest For a Coffee Table?
Here's a post by CasaSugar Community member CarolynZ from the Vintage Delight group: I have a slight obsession with the Brasilia by Broyhill line from the 1960s. Both our dining room and bedroom are outfitted with furniture from this line. We were missing nightstands for the bedroom though and I searched obsessively until I found them. At an auction. A state away. Of course the nightstands did Read more

I love the idea of using a chest instead of a simple table in the living room. Not only does it add an unexpected element to the room, but it also provides great, hidden storage for games, blankets, CDs, or DVDs. This particular chest (which I love — is that a checkers board pattern embedded in the top?) is from Lovely_1's new home, which you can tour here. Do You Use a Chest For a Read more
I recently watched Sex and the City: The Movie again (still love it!), and noticed this chest of drawers in the office of Carrie Bradshaw's editor at Vogue. The dresser was designed by a very influential American interior designer of the early-to-mid '20s. She wrote an inspiring, and quite popular, decorating book in 1939, called Decorating Is Fun! Can you name her? Read more
If you ever hear an interior designer shouting, "It's the bombé!" don't jump to conclusions. She might be referring to a cabinet. A bombé is a low wooden chest with a bulging façade and sides. Fittingly, "bombé" as it turns out, means "curved" in French. Most of these cabinets have drawers, often three, although some have doors like a sideboard. They're often used to store clothing in a Read more
Antiques are beautiful, but sometimes I can't resist a modern interpretation of an old classic, like the the Conran Shop Napoleone Cabinet ($4,950). Lacquered with glossy green, the timeless form of this seven-drawer chest takes on a lively and witty attitude. Sadly this cabinet is astronomically out of reach for me, but a girl can dream, can't she? If I were the proud owner of this royal French Read more
Since I know you ladies find a man with a hairy chest sexy, I'd love to have your thoughts about gents that wear the exposed chest hair look. Personally, I think a couple of buttons undone and a little chest exposure done right can be a turn on, but on some guys, I’ve seen it look more than a little sleazy. So what do you think? Is the exposed chest hair look a turn on or a total turn Read more
If I had the dough, I'd buy the Cottage & Bungalow Casablanca Six Drawer Chest ($3,440) based on its name alone; you know I'm a fan of anything with Moroccan roots, and 1940s romances get me every time. But thanks to this chest's good looks, that wouldn't be necessary. Despite its hardware-less minimalism, it's stunning and truly eye-catching. I love its clean lines, plaque-like imprints, and Read more
You're asking and I'm answering. "Hey Fit! I've just started working out and I have a few friends who totally lost their boobs after they lost weight. I know this is totally vain of me, but I kind of like my bra size now. Is there anything I can do so that I don't drop cup sizes as I'm hopefully dropping the pounds?" - Endowed Emma This question is great on so many levels and while I have never Read more
If I weren't saving every extra penny for my wedding, I'd be spending it on this beautiful, understated Taisho Chest (on sale for $499, originally $999). This eco chic apothecary cabinet is made from reclaimed elm wood, which was recovered from old homes, government buildings, and other unused buildings in China's Shandong province. The wood is cleaned and dried, and then crafted into these Read more
