CasaSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 12:00:17 -0700

We've been hit with crazy rainstorms over the past 24 hours in the Bay Area, prompting flooding, school closures, and one tough commute. Instead of focusing on the perils of our first major storm, I thought I'd focus on the pretty instead. See some of my favorite rainy day-inspired finds.

Etsy Finds: Hit the Road, Jack

CasaSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:00:24 -0700

The Airstream has been around since the early '30s, when Wally Byam began building trailers in his backyard. Since that time, various models have come and gone, but the classic shape has influenced countless artists, crafters, and wanderlust-struck citizens in general. I'm a huge fan of the classic Airstream shape, so I thought I'd see what I could find from artists and crafters who were also inspired by the Airstream.

I'd love to find some ways to bring that color, as well as the beautiful look of the trees, into my home, so I headed over to Etsy to see how aspen trees were inspiring artists and crafters.

Etsy Finds: Sophisticated Cloth Napkins

CasaSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:00:54 -0700

I'm a big enthusiast of white table linens. With a basic backdrop, you can be flexible with your other dinner party décor, changing up your palettes and patterns to make each party special. That said, you'll need to bring in color and flair with napkins, napkin rings, flowers, and serving dishes. So, I thought I'd share a few colorful and sophisticated cloth napkins to get you started on your quest for the perfect party.

Etsy Find: Ottoman Empire

CasaSugar — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:30:00 -0700

Etsy seller Spruce Home, a design studio based in Austin, TX, has upholstered this ornate, wooden-based ottoman in Amy Butler's Nigella Primrose fabric, giving it a vibrant, modern update. The Ottoman Empire ($425) stands 14 inches high with a 30-inch diameter, the perfect size to use as a round coffee table, or set with a tray or some shelter books on top. Not only do I adore the aqua and cool green fabric used, but it looks like it'd be super comfortable used as a stool, foot rest, or even a dog bed! If this ottoman isn't for you, Spruce has a handful of other beautifully upholstered pieces available in their shop. Need a cane back chair? A striped sofa? A set of modular Herman Miller chairs? See what else they've got in store when you read more.
