I love beautiful furniture designs that embrace a sense of possibility. Such is the case with the malleable design of Um Project's 3 Ring Table ($6,000).
The table is made up of three pieces: a low table, a bench, and a play surface.

Aside from antiques, it's not often that I see a dining chair that's so outstanding and lustworthy as the Niki Jones Silhouette Chair ($407). The shape has beautiful proportions and such a delicate shape. Its form is based on classic French antiques, but has been updated with a high gloss lacquer.

I love credenzas. They're perfect pieces for storing media and magazines in your living room while still providing a sleek and elegant look to the room. This Gursan Ergil Design Studio Credenza (inquire for price) is made from reclaimed wood and finished with environmentally friendly oils.

I've recently become a bocce fanatic — I'm even in a league. It's the ultimate social game because anyone of any age or skill level can play. So, when I saw this backyard bocce court at Ceja Vineyards, I nearly died and went to heaven.

You don't need to paint your house a neon hue or put a middle finger sculpture outside your home to make heads turn. Set a glamorous, cerise bench like the Charleston Gardens Harwick Bench ($1,195) on your front porch, and your neighbors will be drooling with envy. If you'd prefer this elegant Chinoiserie-style seat in a more subtle color, the cast aluminum bench is also available in a powder-coated white or black finish.

If I lived in a world where I didn't eat takeout with my feet on the coffee table, occasionally work from home in my pajamas, and wear the same pair of jeans three days in a row, I'd most definitely welcome the Jane Lounge Chair ($3,300) by Reagan Hayes into my living room. As it stands, my life is too casual for a dapper thing like this. But oh, how beautiful it is with its tailored silhouette and rich cherry stain and subtly lustrous upholstery.

In general, the words "entertainment console" conjure visions of bachelor pad-style black tempered glass TV stands you'd pick up at Best Buy with your flat screen. Why people find it acceptable to ignore the rest of their decor when choosing entertainment storage is beyond me. But, I will admit it can be difficult to find stylish TV furniture.

New York's Museum of Art and Design has commissioned American ceramic artist Bennett Bean to transfer the same breathtaking design and color sensibility found in his vessels to 100-knot Tibetan silk and wool. Obligingly, he has designed “9 for ‘09," a limited-edition rug series, which is available exclusively in the museum's store and online shop. The inventory online includes three 5-x-7 rugs available in several colorways, but I'm partial to Feldspar ($5,200), with its decorative design motifs and moody reds and pinks.

First of all, I have to say that this is one of the most beautifully staged photographs I've ever run across, and that opinion only has a tiny bit to do with my equine obsession. This gorgeous Petrea Chandelier ($1,280) is nearly two feet wide, and over two feet tall. It's a one-of-a-kind piece, with an antique-gold-finish frame.
