Found It! Blair Waldorf's Silver Ottoman
In last week's episode of Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf's silver ottoman cube caught my eye. It's a bit glitzy for my taste, but I think it's fun for a young co-ed like Blair and I love its quilted upholstery. Wondering where it's from?
Steal of the Day: JCPenney Canvas Cube Ottoman
Nailhead trim is like a great red lipstick. Both infuse even the most bare surfaces with eye-catching pizazz. Take the JCPenney Canvas Cube Ottoman ($79.99, reduced from $240), for example.
Steal of the Day: Hourglass Ottoman
Unless you're rolling in dough, spare seating is not something to spend a fortune on. The everyday gear should be your investment. So, it's a treat that the Gaiam Hourglass Ottoman ($60, reduced from $129) is on sale.
Crave Worthy: Sea Urchin Poufs
I think I have died and gone to heaven in the ocean. Poufs + sea urchins + yarn = three trends I love blended into one. I don't read a stitch of German, but I might have to sign up for Berlitz just to figure out how to get my hands on one of these Taschide Sea Urchin Poufs.
Crave Worthy: Moroccan Square Ottoman
I am beginning to feel pretty pathetic and predictable about my love for all things Moroccan. Yesterday, I was flipping through a friend's cookbook, The Food of Morocco, and was literally salivating more and more with every turn of the page. She turned to me and said, "Why don't you move there already?"
Etsy Find: Mookah Funky Pod Ottoman
As much as I love me some Moroccan poufs, I haven't been able to bring myself to drop $200 on what is basically a footstool. So, I was delighted to come across this cheerful Mookah Funky Pod ($35), which is essentially a pouf made of heavy-duty cotton fabric. I particularly love its little button top!
Roundup: 10 Fresh Spring Ottomans
Whether padded and upholstered or minimal and sleek, an ottoman can serve your needs. It can serve as a temporary coffee table or just a place to put your feet up and relax.
An ottoman has many monikers: footstool, tuffet, hassock, or pouf, are all various identities for the ottoman.
Love It or Hate It? Chalkboard Graffiti Storage Bench
I think I'm over the chalkboard trend. This Chalkboard Graffiti Storage Bench (out of stock), which is made of erasable washable vinyl and comes with white chalk, has just gone too far. I guess in a way this product is innovative, but since when does leaving notes and jotting reminders for yourself have to come at the expense of aesthetics?
Desire/Acquire: Rattan Pouf
Though this Urban Outfitters Rattan Pouf ($88) isn't a huge splurge, I think nearly 100 bucks (when you add shipping) is a lot to spend on a simple rattan cushion. This is especially true for me since I'd like to buy a few of them! It's such a great durable indoor/outdoor product that you can pull up as extra seating when you've got a full house.
5 Unexpected Armchair and Ottoman Pairs
Anyone with cash to spend can walk into Design Within Reach, Room and Board, or some other fabulous store and buy a matching armchair and ottoman. But where's the fun in that? Like mix-and-match fashion, you can create far more surprises when you pair unlikely pieces.
