Steal of the Day: Honeycomb Print Bolster
I'm sorry to say this, Mr. Bolster, but you have little functional value, aside from aesthetics and an elbow rest every now and then. So I have a hard time dropping big bucks on you. However, if you're outfitted with a cool honeycomb pattern, a handsome espresso color, and if you don't break the bank like Monsieur West Elm Honeycomb Print Bolster ($19.99) then I'll gladly snatch two of you up.
Coolest Idea: Honeycomb Vase
Tomás Gabzdil Libertiny did not make this vase. He "collaborated" with an army of 40,000 bees to make it. Instead of using a traditional artificial beehive, Libertiny designed a vase-shaped mold for a beehive, and gave his busy bees one week to work their sweet magic.
Crave Worthy: Black and White Lacquered Bone Chest
If I hadn't drilled it in with my recent Steal of the Day that I'm gaga for hexagons, you should know that I'm irrationally enthusiastic about this Paul Marra Black and White Lacquered Bone Chest ($5,200). Add my love of anything high gloss, the unusual skeleton-key fastening, and the trendy black and white elegance of this chest, and you can safely say that I've been swept off my feet. I guess I'm hooked on honeycomb.
Steal of the Day: The Company Store Honeycomb Rug
I may be biased because I grew up with a beekeeper father who wore a full-body bee suit and churned out bear-shaped jars of honey, but I'm sweet on the hexagonal pattern of honeycomb. If you had chicken-coop wire window and picked up this Company Store Honeycomb Rug ($58.99 - $256.99), I might just have to sting you out of jealousy. I'd caution against purchasing the 8-x-10 size though, the bold pattern and colors might overpower your room, giving you a buzzing headache.

Would You Add a Beehive to Your Home?
I grew up with beehives in the backyard, since my dad's a beekeeper. I rarely was stung (perhaps twice in my entire childhood), and always had delicious honeycomb and honey to snack on. While I don't have a beehive in my home now, I've been considering adding one for some time.

DIY: Floral Foam Vase
If you read Casa regularly, you've probably noticed that people are making vases out of almost anything these days (pipes, plastic bottles, honeycomb, light bulbs). Quite frankly, a makeshift vase (coffee can, glass bottle) is not the hardest DIY. But, when I came across a DIY from ReadyMade for a vase made from floral foam that was cheap, easy, and most importantly, water retaining, I was pretty impressed.

What You're Wanting: The Entry
For this week's Casa Craving Challenge, we switched it up and had you search for home style must-haves through ShopStyle Living. I loved your entry room looks, and am excited to see more ShopStyle challenges in the future — it's so easy and fun to collect looks on ShopStyle that you might quickly become addicted to creating home looks. Our first entry look this week is from Hippiecowgirl, who says, "Some of my wants are a bit quirky, but I like that they reflect my personality and make the first impression of the home a fun one."Weird Furniture: Kraft Paper Softseating
Molo's Softseating ($130- $2,390) is made entirely from kraft paper with 50% recycled content. The paper is cut into a honeycomb-like structure that flexes to fan open into stools, benches and loungers. Not only is it flexible, it's versatile and compact; you can compress it like a book for easy storage.
