A console table in your foyer can make a great landing strip for your keys, purse, and other daily essentials. But it can also just be pretty and fill an otherwise dead space. I love this foyer by interior designer Anne Coyle.

A friend of mine is moving into a bedroom in a new apartment which is closet-less. She will have access to two hall closets, but considering the miles of clothes and shoes she owns, an additional wardrobe may be needed. So, I decided I'd hunt some down for her.

Community member Deemurph started to collect vintage furniture about eight months ago. She's now so hooked on bringing beautiful old pieces into her home that she created a group called Vintage Delight, as a place for you all to share your vintage finds. This amazing raspberry velvet tufted armchair is just one of several bygone chairs she owns.

I've totally fallen for the geometric base of this West Elm Geo Side Table ($199). I love how it has such a graphic presence but simultaneously seems really light. I thought I'd see what other geometric furniture I could round up.

Su Casa member Pretty Little Things got this overstuffed burgundy chenille burgundy chair at a garage sale for only $50. She wants to integrate it into her awesome new apartment, but her "theoretical color scheme involves grays, golds, whites, neutrals, dark wood, no burgundy!" And aside from the color, she also finds the chair bulky.

In last week's episode of Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf's silver ottoman cube caught my eye. It's a bit glitzy for my taste, but I think it's fun for a young co-ed like Blair and I love its quilted upholstery. Wondering where it's from?

I love the look of the Sundance Catalog's Midcentury Studio Stool ($245). The varnished raw steel has an understated, industrial look that seems as fitting for a bistro or bar counter as a kitchen or home office. At 27 inches tall and 17 inches wide, they're also a great size — big enough but not too hefty.

In last week's episode of Gossip Girl, Chuck Bass's dining table and chairs caught my eye. Not only do they have a hip, contemporary style that's perfect for a young heir, but they're also very, very familiar. Wondering where you can buy them?

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.

This promotional photo for 30 Rock features a very smartly appointed office. But while many elements in the room are handsome, the tufted-leather nail-head trim sofa that Tina Fey sits on is really the most eye-catching. There's a name for this particular style of sofa, do you know it?
