Found It! Gossip Girl Bamboo Folding Chairs

CasaSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:00:32 -0700

In last night's episode of Gossip Girl, beautiful bamboo folding chairs were used for seating guests at Lily and Rufus's wedding. When it comes to folding chairs, this is probably the most chic design you'll come across. But they're also good-looking enough to use in your home, not just for when you're having a party or extra guests. Wondering where you can buy some for yourself? Then read more.

A set of two Bamboo Folding Chairs ($89, reduced from $99), available in tortoise, black, or antique white, is currently on sale at Ballard Designs, and the store always seems to have them in stock.

A set of two Tropica Folding Chairs ($59.95, reduced from $128), in a black color, is also on sale at Anthropologie, but the shop doesn't always stock them.

And, you can also find a set of two Bamboo Folding Chairs ($75.99) at Target, where you'll save 15 percent and earn free shipping if you spend $125 on furniture. So, you'll only spend $129 for a set of four!

Found It! Gossip Girl Diamond Nailhead Folding Screen

CasaSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:00:25 -0700

In last night's episode of Gossip Girl, I couldn't take my eyes off of the diamond-pattern nailhead folding screen that Serena stands in front of. It's gorgeous, isn't it? A bit Hollywood regency, a bit classic, a bit masculine. I've been looking for a screen like this for ages, so I simply had to hunt it down. Wondering where you can buy one? Then read more.

It's the Faux Leather Divider ($379.99) in black with nailhead triple diamond outlines.

I'm also really loving the Four-Panel Full House Room Divider ($379.99), which is very similar. It's ivory instead of black and has an overlapping-squares pattern instead of diamonds.

Get the Look: Red Gossip Girl Room

CasaSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 05:30:11 -0700

In last night's episode of Gossip Girl, Blake Lively and Tyra Banks got cozy in their silk robes on a red velvet settee. The showstopping piece certainly makes the room, but the matching red damask wallpaper and blue velvet curtains continue the baroque theme throughout the room. Then, accents like the black and white embroidered pillows, brass bird wall sculpture, and rope tassels add another element of luxurious detailing. To get the look in your home, read more.

Start with the Ballard Designs Sofia Settee ($1,159) as a base. You can have it upholstered in red velvet. Or, search 1st Dibs for "red velvet settee" to find something more precise.

For the rest of the look, read more.

Found It! Gossip Girl Magazine Rack

CasaSugar — Tue, 05 May 2009 08:00:15 -0700

During last week's episode of Gossip Girl, while some of you may have been gasping at the sight of Serena in bed with a fraudster, I couldn't help but notice another piece of eye candy. Not only was the magazine rack in the foreground super stylish, but it also looked quite familiar to Yours Truly. Want to know where I'd seen it before? Find out when you read more.

It's the Crate & Barrel Magazine Rack ($12.95, reduced from $21.95). It's on sale now in green and white, so get yours before it's gone! Want to see more Gossip Girl style? Check out all of my posts on the show's interiors.

Gossip Girl Producer Sells in Los Feliz

CasaSugar — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 11:00:56 -0700

Josh Schwartz, who's best known for producing and writing shows such as Gossip Girl, The OC, and Chuck, has sold his Los Feliz, CA, home for $2.15 million.

The beautiful 1928 home was originally listed in April for $2.4 million. Given that other celebs have been forced to lower their prices by close to half a million, this price drop doesn't seem particularly harsh, especially given the real estate market's current woes.

The house itself is absolutely lovely, with great bones and much of its original Spanish detailing. Updates like tropically landscaped outdoors areas, a koi pond, heated pool, and a grotto spa perfectly accent the charming house's Spanish-style edifice. Inside the 3,468-square-foot home, the new owner (who's the former creative director for 7 For All Mankind), can enjoy such features as vaulted ceilings, a downstairs screening room, Saltillo tile floors, five bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, and numerous fireplaces. I also love that this home's library has a sliding bookshelf that opens to the wine cellar. Overall, this is one of the more charming celebrity homes I've seen in a good while.

Midday Muse: Cushioned Louis Ghost Chairs on Gossip Girl

CasaSugar — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 12:00:38 -0700

Tuning into "The Dark Night" episode of Gossip Girl, I couldn't help but notice that the set of Philipe Starck Louis Ghost Chairs in Blair Waldorf's dining room weren't naked as usual. The polycarbonate chairs had been dressed up with silk shantung chair pads, giving them less of a transparent look. Personally, I think the chair pads detract from Starck's vision for the chair: a modern reinterpretation of the Louis XIV chair, which is upholstered. But, from a purely aesthetic perspective, they don't look half bad here in Blair's home. And, seeing as the gossip girl lives in a quite traditional abode (unlike Chuck Bass's bachelor pad), I think the chair pads make the very modern chairs more appropriate for the setting. What do you think? Oh also: did anyone notice how there's only wallpaper on one half of the room? Weird!
