Do You Layer Patterns at Your Home?

Nov 06, 2009 - I love the eclectic look of the folksy, layered patterns in this living room. It looks so cozy and welcoming, but still appears pulled together, thanks to the cohesive color palette.

What's Your Coffee Table Style?

Nov 04, 2009 - At my house, I often pile coffee table books, magazines, and decorative objects on my coffee table.

Oct 22, 2009 - Hi Casa, We've just recently adopted an adorable puppy, and we're having a great time with her. The only problem is she's taken over the house! We had to move and hide anything she might eat or chew, so our living room and bookcases look empty. - 5 Comments

Decorating With the Eames RAR Rocker

Oct 22, 2009 - Legend has it that the Eames RAR (rocking armchair rod) Rocker was designed by Charles and Ray Eames as a gift to employees who'd just given birth. Since I've seen the rocker pop up in photos of nurseries all over the Internet, I wouldn't be surprised. Anyone who's sat in an Eames Rocker knows that it's beyond comfortable — something you might not expect from a fiberglass chair. - 0 Comments
