Sale Alert: Sundance Holiday Sale
Sundance is currently offering up to 60 percent off of its festive holiday décor. So, if you're looking for stockings, ornaments, snow globes, festive hooked pillows, or nostalgic decorative items, Sundance is the place to go. As much as I like the look of CB2's holiday items, considering that Christmas is something that's celebrated year after year (and sometimes we even inherit our parents' holiday decorations), I prefer the classic look of this retailer's holiday décor.
Casa Verde: Cameron and Cameron Talk (and Walk) Green
I have yet to catch an episode of Sundance's Iconoclasts series, which pairs celebrities or leading innovators from two different industries to chat about their passions and creative processes. But, after seeing some clips of season four, which couples long-time environmental advocate Cameron Diaz and Architecture for Humanity cofounder Cameron Sinclair, I think I've been wooed. This season, the series follows the two to New Orleans and Biloxi, MS, to take in the environmental impact of Hurricane Katrina.
This Just In: Sundance's Architecture School Premieres Tonight
Tonight at 8 p.m. (CDT), the Sundance channel will premiere an original six-part documentary series, Architecture School, which follows a group of students from Tulane University's prestigious School of Architecture as they compete for the chance to design an affordable home in Katrina-devastated New Orleans. The winning model will be built during the school year and put on the market, giving one recent grad one whopping résume bullet point at the start of his career.
Crave Worthy: Sundance Steamer Trunk Coffee Table
The Sundance Steamer Trunk Coffee Table ($1895) is inspired by turn of the century steamer trunks from a more romantic era. It features riveted oak banding, leather reinforced seams, sturdy leather handles, and canvas-lined three drawers for ample storage. You can choose from top grain leather or stainless steel, but the industrial glow of the stainless steel is certainly hard to resist.

Steal of the Day: Sundance Continental Suitcases
Perhaps a grand, continent-crossing voyage isn't on the itinerary for you this year, but you can still evoke the look of a frequent flier in your home, for a fraction of the price. The Sundance Continental Suitcases ($32-100) will pack your paperwork, collections, art supplies, or what-have-you with nostalgic, adventurous style. Made of recycled cardboard, I wouldn't trust them for genuine travel, but I would surely use them to store odds and ends, DIY a planter, or stack them to build a side table.
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.
Will You Be Tuning Into Man Shops Globe Tonight?
Man Shops Globe, the Sundance Channel's new series about Keith Johnson, the antiques buyer for Anthropologie, premieres tonight at 10 p.m. EDT. Johnson travels the world looking for unusual and inspiring objects to sell in their stores as well as commissions new things from little-known artists around the globe.
