Stella McCartney's Brilliant Equestrian Chandelier Returns
We all know that Stella McCartney is an animal lover, but forgoing leather isn't the only way she shows it. McCartney created an astonishing crystal sculpture in the shape of a horse in 2004 for a fashion exhibit inside the Great Hall of Belsay Castle, an English Heritage castle in the UK, and it has returned for the Easter holiday. "Lucky Spot" was made from thousands of hanging crystals, and is truly a magnificent sight.
Would You Pasture This Pony in Your Garden?
I don't think I've revealed to CasaSugar readers yet that I've always been a bit of a horse freak. In fact, I've been riding, reading about, and dreaming about horses since I was a wee babe. Not even injuries, buckings, and bitings have dissuaded me from this preoccupation.
Midday Muse: An Equine Topiary
I spotted this fairy tale-esque horse topiary in a post Danny Seo recently wrote about Stella McCartney's new Beverly Hills store. This is just part of her lavish garden in the back of the store. I love it, but can't imagine having a manicured, shaped topiary at my house.
Trend Alert: Equestrian Accents
I think many of us may have had horsey obsessions growing up. I, for one, was hooked on Elizabeth Taylor in her role as Velvet Brown in the fabulous '40s film National Velvet. The good news is, we don't have to give up the horse love just because we've grown up.

Found It! Trompe-l'œil Grandfather Clock
I spotted this photo in the portfolio of photographer Joanna Henderson and I'm absolutely in love with it. Not only is the light beautiful, but the space couldn't be any more understatedly elegant. The trompe-l'œil grandfather clock is simply great for that white wall, and it pairs perfectly with those bentwood chairs.

Cool Idea: Use Book Pages For Art
In this photo, from Linday and Kristen Buckingham's home, their son Will's bedroom is decorated with custom bedding, a vintage Union Jack flag, and neat rows of framed artwork.
The artwork, though, isn't from any expensive gallery. Instead, they're pages from a vintage children's book.
