Inspired: Where the Wild Things Are
Home is where the wild things are — just ask Urban Outfitters, which recently debuted a line of home accessories based on the movie coming out Oct. 16. I've found even more inspiration looking through the stills from director Spike Jonze's interpretation of the classic children's book.
Su Casa: Amers230's Closet Solution
Su Casa member Amers230 recently shared an inventive solution to her overcrowded closet. She writes, "I recently switched rooms with my sister, and while the room itself is bigger, I lost some closet space in the deal. My bags were literally falling out of my closet and hanging off of my bookcase.
Steal of the Day: Signals Three Rose Vases
I would never call Signals a go-to retailer for home décor products, but every once in a while they sweep me off my feet with a great steal. This time, it's Signals Three Rose Vases ($32, reduced from $59), three vases adorned with rose blooms in cream, chartreuse, and mint. Not only is a set of three vases for 30 bucks an incredible deal, but the vases share a remarkable similarity with the Roost Porcelain Flower Vase ($68-$96), a design I've been fawning over for some time.
Roundup: Your Kitchen's For the Birds
While birds have been alighting all over home accessories for a good time now, I'm not showing any signs of tiring of this flighty creature feature. One place where I think it's been underutilized is in the kitchen. Take a look at my widget below for everything from napkins to magnets to mugs that will ensure that your kitchen really is for the birds.
Love It or Hate It? Vintage Playboy Sign
I can see giving this vintage painted wood sign (inquire for price) as a tongue-in-cheek housewarming gift to some of my most fabulous male friends, but they'd have to be pretty fabulous indeed to pull it off. In the right environs, it might fit perfectly, but you'd have to work hard to make sure that this midcentury sign doesn't become a frat-tastic accessory.

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.
Love It or Hate It? Life in the 21st Matchbook Pillows
Urban Outfitters just released a slew of new home accessories, including these throw pillows adorned with vintage matchbook designs. Choices include the Life in the 21st Tiger Matchbox Pillow and the Elephant Matchbook Pillow ($28 each). Would you buy these?

Ask Casa: Framing Fine Photography
Hi Casa,
I am adding, for the first time ever, fine photography to my apartment. However I am at a loss when it comes to framing styles and arrangement.
One set of four photographs is horizontally-oriented and black-and-white.
Hazelnut's Bryan Batt Opens Up to House Beautiful
If you're a design enthusiast and a New Orleans fanatic like me, you know Bryan Batt as a co-owner (with his partner Tom Cianfichi) of one of NOLA's finest décor boutiques, Hazelnut. I featured the boutique back in February of '08, and now Batt is set to ink his own home décor book. If you're just mad for Mad Men, you know him as Sterling-Cooper's in-the-closet, recently fired art director Salvatore Romano.
Cool Idea: Everything in One Hue
Melanie, of the fabulous Etsy shop Plum Cushion, lives in a seriously stylish 1941 Cape Cod in Seattle. The bones of her home are nice, but it's her cool palette and ability to modernize vintage pieces that really make it hip. One of my favorite elements was how she painted her Rococo sconces and mirror and her Chinoiserie console table to match the blue of her walls.
