Crave Worthy: Sablés Bookends
I haven't seen an interesting pair of bookends in ages. In fact, I've never written about them here. Now is the time.
Love It or Hate It? Carved Frame Sofa
I love the carved maple frame and nailhead trim on this Carved Frame Sofa ($5,999), but its leather upholstery kind of turns me off. What's your take?

Crave Worthy: Cotswold Chair
You were understandably enthusiastic about the aptly named Lady Chair. However, I have a hard time imagining those of you who cohabitate with a manly man getting even the smallest, riveted corner of the Lady Chair in your door. If that's the case, then I present you with a testosterone-friendly option: the Cotswald Chair ($1,998) from Anthropologie.
Casa Query: Have You Lived With a Leather Couch?
There are some leather couches that are simply stunning and there are others that should stay in the frat house. I once lived in a house right out of college that had two separate leather couches (which were owned by two rather frat-like dudes). Those were definitely not crave worthy, and I have a feeling that some of you ladies have had to live with men who refused to give up their "cool" leather couches.

Love It or Hate It? Leather Rhinoceros
Growing up, a few of my parents' British ex-pat friends had leather animal footstools in their living rooms, so I have a nostalgic attachment to this Leather Rhinoceros (inquire for price). The stools were first sold at Liberty's in London in 1927 and have been popular in England ever since. Some of us with eclectic tastes applaud their quirky British style, but I understand that they're a little wacky for most.
Desire/Aquire: Gomitolo Knit Clock
The Gomitolo Clock ($575), designed by Carlo and Benedetta Tamborini, is a clock with a soft ecru knit cotton cover that can be removed for washing. While it is clever, fresh, and unexpected — and pretty! — I couldn't bring myself to spend over $100 on it, let alone nearly $600.
Sneak Peek! Kelly Cutrone's SoHo Apartment
If you've ever watched The City, you're probably familiar with Kelly Cutrone, the founder of fashion PR firm People's Revolution. Well, Bravo decided to give Kelly her own reality TV show, Kell on Earth, which premieres tonight at 10 p.m. EST.
Crave Worthy: Hudson English Reading Chair
For those of you hoping to get the look of a modern rustic kitchen, the Hudson English Reading Chair ($2,850) couldn't be more appropriate. The vintage leather chair from England with a blue and brown plaid wool cushion and nailhead trim is a perfect stand-in for the handsomely worn leather chair tossed with a velvet pillow in that kitchen. But the Hudson chair is also a Pandora's box of sorts: its arms open to expose a pen tray on one side and a writing table on the other!
How Would You . . .
This set of four, brass-studded, Leather Bound Trunks ($15,000) likely once served as travel storage for a sophisticated lady on a worldly voyage like Angelina Jolie in Changeling. But, as these How Would Yous tend to go, I'm not interested in offering up suitcases to you. I want to know how you'd use these elegant antique suitcases in your home as décor.
