Desire/Acquire: Rubie Green Tillinghast Fabric
Don't get me wrong: I absolutely adore Rubie Green textiles. But the label's stylish and eco-conscious fabrics are not exactly wallet-conscious. This cheerful, Chippendale-esque Tillinghast fabric goes for $90 a yard.
Roundup: Bamboo(zled)
These chairs, from a New York residence designed by Jonathan Adler, may look like bamboo, but you can rest assured that they're made out of wood.
Bamboo-look furniture, accents, and chandeliers have been popular for more than two centuries of interior design. Whether used in a zen-like spare and modern home or a Palm Beach-style beach pad, bamboo-look pieces can look great in a variety of homes.

Steal of the Day: Ballard Designs Macau Bench
If you're a fan of the Chinese Chippendale style, you'll probably think the Ballard Designs Macau Bench ($279, reduced from $399) is worthy of cheering about. Made of rattan in rubbed black or natural tortoise with cotton twill, the bench is casual yet sophisticated. It's the perfect way to seat a couple of extra guests in a small studio or offer up a resting place in a narrow hallway or petite foyer.

Before and After: A Stylish Secretary
I just came across interior designer Eddie Ross's makeover of a beautiful secretary he found at a New Jersey consignment shop, and I couldn't help but share it with you. The Chippendale style of the desk with its graphic grille and shapely top facade is very elegant, but the reddish mahogany veneer was very dated. So, Ross decided to make it over with a fresh coat of his favorite paint, Farrow & Ball's All White, and a mirror fit for behind the grille.

Home Away From Home: Chandelier Creative
Chandelier Creative is a three-year-old, full-service creative agency based in New York City with a focus on fashion, beauty, retail, travel, and luxury lifestyle brands. Among Chandelier's clients are Coca Cola, Four Seasons, Parfums Givenchy, Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Old Navy, Nanette Lepore, and W Hotels. Though the agency's client list is certainly an impressive one, you know me: I find myself more taken with the interior design of its SoHo penthouse, designed by agency owner, Richard Christiansen.
Weird Furniture: England's Dreaming
Forgoing a shepherd's pie ottoman or a Wimbledon coffee table, London-based architecture and design practice Fat created England's Dreaming as a tribute to its native country in furniture form. The antique chaise is covered at one end by a mini English landscape, juxtaposing scales and references, prompting the lounger to "Lie back and think of England." I only wonder why Fat didn't choose a traditional English piece of furniture, such as something by Thomas Chippendale; we all know that the chaise lounge (longue) originated from the French.
