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?
Desire/Acquire: Midcentury Studio Stool
I love the look of the Sundance Catalog's Midcentury Studio Stool ($245). The varnished raw steel has an understated, industrial look that seems as fitting for a bistro or bar counter as a kitchen or home office. At 27 inches tall and 17 inches wide, they're also a great size — big enough but not too hefty.
Guess Who Designed This Gnome Stool?
This funky little stool was created by a famous designer. Can you name him?
5 Places to Find a Garden Stool Under $100
Garden stools have gotten pretty popular over the last few years, and they don't seem to be losing their cool. Many, though, are absurdly overpriced. I don't want you to fall into that trap because I have also seen plenty of affordable ones.
Nice and New: Seating For Eating by StudioIlse
Interior designer Ilse Crawford has done it again, this time making her exquisite design skills available to the hungry public. Her design group Studio Ilse will launch this elegant new range of wooden seating, benches, and stools, called Seating for Eating, at next month's London Design Festival (Sept. 19-27).
Cool Idea: A Paint Can Stool
I just noticed this paint can stool in a home on Light Locations, and am completely smitten. Not only is this DIY furniture a great way to repurpose an old paint can (although you know you can recycle them), but it's also just downright cute. I love how this one was upholstered with vintage-looking fabric; it's like a really artsy mushroom.
Guess What Inspired These Stools?
These stools were inspired by something beloved by children and adults alike. And I must say they would be very appropriate for our headquarters here at Sugar Inc. Can you guess what delightful treat inspired them?
Love It or Hate It? To Become One Table and Seats
Dutch designer Erwin Zwiers's To Become One Table and Seats (inquire for price) each have two parts: a soft, formless sack and a frame made of various pegs. Each part reinforces each other, and it's meant to be played with like sand on a beach, offering a relaxing effect. What do you think: yea or nay?
Roundup: Rattan Dining Chairs
Heidi and Spencer never were my favorite characters on The Hills, but I did always have an eye for the rattan bar stools in their kitchen. Rattan, as you may know, is essentially thin, pliable stems of palm, making these chairs perfectly appropriate for a California crib. There is a beachy vibe to them, but I think they work well in any atmosphere.
Found It! Samantha Jones's Stool Lamp
For obvious reason, I return again and again to the interiors from Sex and the City. Each SATC lady had her own flair and personal style, and each woman's apartment illustrated this. Right now, I'm loving confident, modern interiors, so I took a look back at Samantha Jones's digs.
