Summer Style: Outdoor Rugs at Overstock.com
Overstock.com can be a wonderful shopping treasure — kind of like a low-rent ShopStyle. But, unless you have the patience to dig through its wealth of tacky inventory, it is a pain in the bottom. Since I noticed that they have a vast selection of outdoor rugs, and I told you that outdoor rugs were a must-have this month, I decided to be a good friend and weed through them for you.
Steal of the Day: Hand-Tufted Zebra Rug
Oh, Overstock, sometimes you tempt me with items I wouldn't normally order for my rather laid-back, nonanimal-hide-decorated home. For instance, it seems a shame to pass up this Zebra Stripe Rug (on sale for $239.99, originally $749). At an expansive 5-x-8 feet, this hand-tufted wool rug will add a safari flair to your home.
Steal of the Day: Petite Sphere Crystal Table Lamp
Overstock has been a good friend in the past, when it comes to steals. Today, I am bestowing upon you their Petite Sphere Crystal Table Lamp ($50). Its crystal ball base is simple, elegant, and chic — just the thing to shed a little light on a small side table or your favorite cozy corner.
Steal of the Day: Hand-tufted Blue Stripes Wool Rug
I'm a loyal supporter of Overstock.com. Their inventory is enormous; it's all discounted; it's changing all the time; and last but not least, the cost of shipping is always just $2.95. Yes there's a lot of ugly in there, but if you take the time to sift through it all, it might be worth it.

Steal of the Day: Austin Pearl Sofa
This Austin Pearl sofa ($549.99, marked down from $1,399.99) is the perfect party guest. It's never too rowdy, it doesn't announce its presence with an inappropriately loud and gaudy get-up, and it never takes on the role of the wallflower. In fact, it always looks like it's perfectly comfortable and perfectly suited for its situation.
Desire/Acquire: Molded Plastic Rocker
The Eames Molded Plastic Rocker ($479) is a design classic. Originally produced in 1948, it's known as the RAR (rocking armchair rod) and was out of production for 30 years until Design Within Reach, with the Eames Office's blessing, started reproducing the design. The molded shell's deep seat is perfect for rocking a baby or relaxing on a front porch, and it's built from environmentally friendly molded polypropylene.
However, if you're comfortable rocking out on an unofficial reproduction, there's a much cheaper option available to you.
Desire/Acquire: Kartell Stone Stool
Designed by Marcel Wanders, the Kartell Stone Stool ($245) has a very precious appearance thanks to its geometrical facets, which reflect light like a Cartier engagement ring. I'm a fan of the stool's hourglass shape, and the range of colors offered allows you to cue the stool to your room's palette. But, like all of Kartell's products, it is made of plastic ("durable polycarbonate"), and at $245, many of you may consider it a splurge.
Roundup: Out of This World, in Front of Your Sofa
Let's face it: when we're not hovering over the kitchen counter, our lives revolve around the coffee table. So why not make yours the center of attention, style-wise? I love the Barbarella-esque look of this Mondo Coffee Table ($273) from Overstock.
Desire/Acquire: Angled Leg Coffee Table
West Elm is a relatively affordable store, sort of the midpoint between ultra-affordable stores like Ikea and pricier ones like Williams-Sonoma Home and Pottery Barn. It's also full of great modern design, which unless you're shopping at Ikea, is hard to come by at an affordable price. But West Elm items like this Angled-Leg Coffee Table ($299) are still out of reach for many, or simply not sensible if you're a student or in transition.
