ShopStyle Living Gets a Makeover!

CasaSugar — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 12:00:00 -0800

Every once in a while, it's time for a design overhaul. My sister site, ShopStyle, has just had hers. After a comprehensive makeover, finding what you're looking for, be it a candy dish or a living room sofa - or a pair of Louboutins, if you're into that sort of thing- is a cinch. Now, it's the one-stop shop for all the goodies you could ask for - men's, women's, kids', beauty, and home items - and you can sort by popularity and recent arrivals. To ease the pain of those credit card statements, don't forget to sign up for sale alerts for your favorite things, too!

What You're Wanting: A New Kitchen For Peggy

CasaSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 05:30:06 -0700

I love Peggy Olsen, the junior copywriter on Mad Men. She's tough as nails, fascinatingly complex, and a genuinely good person. While I have some hope for her personal fashion changing a bit since she's been hanging out with openly gay and Euro copywriter Kurt (he made a vast improvement to her hair), I'm not so sure if I'm so hopeful for her apartment.

For this latest What You're Wanting, I want to know how you'd improve Peggy's kitchen. As you can see from this photo, it's pretty dull. What would you do to improve the look? Would you change the paint color? What accessories would you add? Any furniture that could dress up her Brooklyn walk-up? Add all the finds to your ShopStyle Living stylebook, and create a look tagged with the phrase Pegg's Mad Men Kitchen. Private message me if you have any questions. Oh, and as extra incentive, I'll give some Sugar schwag away to my favorite look!

What You're Wanting: The Living Room

CasaSugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 05:30:00 -0700

I'm not sure about you, but my wish list for home furnishings is getting pretty long these days. If I were to line up all of my bookmarked items starting here in San Francisco, I estimate I could make it to Los Angeles and back — not kidding. It comes with the job territory, I suppose. That's consumerism for you, huh? But, enough about me. I want to know what home furnishings are on your wish list. To give you greedy gals a limit, I'm going to start with just the living room. I'd like you to hunt all of the things you covet for your living room, be it furniture, accessories, lighting, etc. Add them to your ShopStyle Living stylebook, and create a look tagged with the phrase living room wants. Private message me if you have any questions. I'll return next week to show you my favorite looks from this little challenge. To give you some inspiration, here's the look I created for this assignment:

What You're Wanting; A Powder Room For a Princess

CasaSugar — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 15:00:40 -0700

For this week's What You're Wanting, I had you search for powder room must haves through ShopStyle Living, since I've been craving an at-home spa escape myself. I loved your powder room looks, and am excited to see you use ShopStyle in the future.
DCStar went for, in her words, a "modern twist on the Marie Antoinette boudoir with a bit of humor and art mixed in." DCStar will be receiving the Sugar schwag of her choice as a reward for creating such a great look!

To see another lovely look, read more.

Tdamji wrote that, "My powder room would be a soothing, wood-filled room with soy-wax candles and a radio playing soothing music. I would have a wall mounted magazine rack and a bench to put down a tray of tea and cookies or some coffee. I went with some comfy and absorbent bamboo towels in an olive green to match the round rug to put near the clawfoot tub. Continuing the round theme, I have a beautiful spherical light to hang above the tub, a wood-cut mirror and a round tray for coffee or tea."

Check out more looks here! Nice work ladies! And for the rest of you, check in tomorrow for our next ShopStyle Living challenge!

CasaSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 15:00:17 -0700

For this week's Casa Craving Challenge, we switched it up and had you search for home style must-haves through ShopStyle Living . I loved your living room looks, and am excited to see more ShopStyle challenges in the future.

Rosedilla chose dark wood and neutral pieces as a base for more colorful accents. I love the contrast between colors here, and think that the room would really pop.

What You're Wanting: Redecorate Johnny Knoxville's Boudoir

CasaSugar — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 07:45:52 -0700

For someone who plays a Jackass on television, Johnny Knoxville has surprisingly good taste in real estate. His soon-to-be-sold '20s Mediterranean villa has great bones and gorgeous features. However, I think that whoever staged this bedroom for photos fell a little short when it came to dressing up the room. The colors are drab, and the artwork less than desirable.

So, for this week's What You're Wanting, I want to know how you'd redecorate this boudoir to take advantage of its basic structure. How would you highlight those dark wood floors? What type of curtains would you hang across those tall, narrow windows? Add all the finds to your ShopStyle Living stylebook, and create a look tagged with the phrase Knoxville Bedroom Redecorated. Private message me if you have any questions. Oh, and as extra incentive, I'll give some Sugar schwag away to my favorite look!
