Roundup: White Dining Room Chairs

CasaSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:00:57 -0800

The Blind Side, which opens today, promises to be a tearjerker. The movie, which is based on the true story captured in Michael Lewis's book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, stars Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Touhy, the Christian, Southern mom who takes in Michael Oher, played by Quinton Aaron. Touhy's house is pretty standard for an upper-middle-class Southern family, but one element that caught my eye were these white dining chairs.

I love the idea of using white chairs in the dining room. The color can really lighten up the space, even if the chairs are geometric and wooden, like these. See some of my favorite white wooden chairs below.

Vintner Side Chair/Cushion - $39.95	Farmhouse Ladderback Armchair - $425.00
Circle-Cutout Chairs + Cushions - $189.00	Victoria White Ribbon Back Arm Chair - $359.00

Olle Chair - $34.99	Le Mans Dining Chairs Set of 2 - $249.00

Roundup: Silver Ornaments

CasaSugar — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 08:30:00 -0800

I love to add a few new ornaments to my holiday tree each year, and this season I'm really loving the metallic sheen of silver baubles. One of my favorites is this set of silver swirl ornaments. They have a great, antiqued look, and would look gorgeous against the dark green needles of your evergreen.

Are you loving the look of these silver ornaments? Check out my other favorites below.

Roundup: Orange Accents

CasaSugar — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 05:30:00 -0800

I thought I'd continue the talk of warm colors with one color that's very trendy these days: orange. I see orange paired often with deep grays in spare, contemporary spaces. But it looks equally smart in traditional rooms, paired with turquoise or navy. A room painted in orange, or even a chair upholstered in orange, probably wouldn't be my thing. But I do like orange used in accents, especially if the color is continued throughout the room. So I thought I'd round a few up. From clocks and candles to wall hooks and letter trays, orange comes in all shapes, forms, and functions.

Roundup: Wonderful Wardrobes

CasaSugar — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:30:03 -0800

A friend of mine is moving into a bedroom in a new apartment which is closet-less. She will have access to two hall closets, but considering the miles of clothes and shoes she owns, an additional wardrobe may be needed. So, I decided I'd hunt some down for her. Are you in the market for a new wardrobe? Luckily, there are some at every price point, from only $45 to over $11,000. In particular, I think the CB2 Harmonica Wardrobe ($499, reduced from $799) is really sharp. Take a peek at a few others below!

Roundup: Geometric Furniture

CasaSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:00:35 -0800

I've totally fallen for the geometric base of this West Elm Geo Side Table ($199). I love how it has such a graphic presence but simultaneously seems really light. I thought I'd see what other geometric furniture I could round up. Turns out, geometry has been an inspiration for all sorts of designs, including stools, armchairs, side chairs, dinner tables, and side tables. See my finds below!
