Roundup: Chevron's Goin' On
I spotted this Black Zigzag Lamp ($185) at Emilia Ceramics, a San Francisco-based ceramic import shop, and felt a revived love for chevron patterns. The contemporary lamp is handmade by Mexican pottery studio Talavera Vázquez in the city of Dolores Hidalgo. I've been drooling over Madeline Weinrib's cotton flatweave zigzag rug ever since I saw it, but aside from that, I've never felt much affinity for chevron/zigzag patterns.
Get the Look: Zooey Deschanel's Bedroom in 500 Days of Summer
After much anticipation, I finally saw 500 Days of Summer and loved it! Aside from the easy, romantic soundtrack, hip wardrobes, and counterintuitively hopeful plot, I fell for the movie's interiors, which are charming, inspiring, and easy to reproduce. In the film, Summer (Zooey Deschanel) is a recent transplant, and still has a few boxes sitting unpacked in her apartment.
Crave Worthy: Oly Studio Jordan Entertainment Console
In general, the words "entertainment console" conjure visions of bachelor pad-style black tempered glass TV stands you'd pick up at Best Buy with your flat screen. Why people find it acceptable to ignore the rest of their decor when choosing entertainment storage is beyond me. But, I will admit it can be difficult to find stylish TV furniture.
Cool Idea: Maps Krieg
In big cities, Craigslist is the master when it comes to looking for apartments. But, unfortunately people tend to fudge about what neighborhood their listings are in. Google Mapping dozens of listings a day can really cut into your day job — and who wants to be homeless and jobless?
Casa Quickie: Studio Resourcefulness
TeamSugar member CityGal is throwing a holiday party in her tiny New York City studio, which has French doors dividing her "bedroom" (only room for a bed) from her minuscule living room/oven-less kitchen. In other words, her party will be a little bit like the Flight of the Conchords episode when Jemaine throws a party in his new apartment: the empty cleaning closet.
No one's gonna rain on Citygal's party, though!

Ask Casa: Art in the DC Area?
Hi Casa,
My husband and I just bought our first house (yay!) in the Washington, DC, metro area. We love going to the local art fairs, and we just want some real art. We are huge art fans though we haven't been able to buy very much of it.
Designer Spotlight: Laurence Pasquier
Interior stylist Laurence Pasquier has a background in textiles and a distinct, scenic style. She feeds her influences and inspirations by spending time in London and Paris, two of Europe's most cutting-edge cities. Pasquier is often hired by communication agencies to build sets for a launch, and magazines like Living Etc, Homes & Gardens, and Real Homes rely on her to style atmospheres for photo shoots.
Designer Spotlight: Summer Thornton
Chicago-based designer Summer Thornton calls herself a "personal stylist for the home," and this apt description fits her perfectly. Concentrating mostly in ceramics during college, she shapes a home — an 1890's Lincoln Park condo, a North Shore mansion, a down-state country home — much like she would a clay pot, infusing it with color and texture and then sending it off to the kiln, ready to stand the test of everyday life. It's no surprise that she can make a Chicago high-rise and a country cottage look equally charming: she is rooted in both.
