Roundup: Busy Bees
I may hate to find moths in my kitchen, but when it comes to bees, those little striped insects can do no wrong. That's why I'd gladly decorate my house with bee wallpaper, stock bee glasses in my cupboard, and sweep curtains back with bee curtain holders. Of course, it's probably due in part to the fact that I'm the daughter of a beekeeper.
What Color Do You Accessorize With?
All of us gravitate toward certain colors, whether in our wardrobes or our homes. For me, that color is blue, though green is often in the mix as well. What color strikes your fancy when you're accessorizing in your home?
Roundup: Retro Tech Accents
Before the general populace relied on key cards, laptops, iPhones, and cars to get through their busy days, such technological advancements as the typewriter, the skeleton key, and the bicycle were the height of fashion. Not only are these classic shapes superbly functional, they're also quite beautiful, which makes them the perfect inspiration for home accessories.

Midday Muse: See-Through Accessories
This bowl of clear glass objets d'art remind me of the cool, clear sea. It's such a welcome change from the saturated colors that I normally favor and would bring a sense of calm to any room where they were displayed.

Gift Guide: Desk Accents for the Sophisticate
True sophisticates exude chic down to the last drop. But, they don't need you telling them how to dress or decorate their homes—they've got it covered. So what to give?
Etsy Find: White Notes 3-D Flower Vase
This White Notes 3-D Flower Vase ($19) is a much cheaper version of the Porcleain Flower Vase ($98) I've been seeing in all the design shops lately. It's handmade of fine bone china, and reinterprets vase shapes of the 1790's by using a white finish to create a modern look. I think the tulip design is so beautiful on its own that it really doesn't even need fresh flowers.
Nice and New: Chrome Gnomes at Home
This jolly set of CAKE Chrome Gnomes ($42) is new at Design Public, and I gotta get my hands on them. I know they're just decorative ceramic figurines, but they're so cute they make me smile. I almost wish they were s&p shakers—wouldn't that be better?
Nice and New: Anthropologie Society Candlesticks
If you read home design magazines, I'm sure you've seen those pricey crystal ball lamps that are so trendy these days, and maybe you're lucky enough to own one. I personally have not made the splurge, although I've come close several times. So, when I found these Society Candlesticks ($32) amongst Anthropologie's new inventory, I knew I'd found an economical alternative to the beauties I'd been pining for.
