Before and After: The View's Backstage Makeover
When I chatted with Thom Filicia the other day, he shared a few photos from his makeover of The View's dressing rooms. As you can see from this shot, before Thom took over, the show's dressing room was beige, blah, and uninspired.

Casa Query: What's Your View?
In E.M. Forster's A Room with a View, on holiday in Italy, Miss Honeychurch and Miss Bartlett are vexed to find out that their views are not quite they were hoping for, and then an elderly man and his son offer to trade rooms, presenting them with perfect views. This encounter proves to be important to the plot.
Do You Have a View of Nature?
At my house, I can see a lot of trees, but my main view is of the San Francisco skyline. Sometimes I miss the more idyllic views that I grew up with in a rural community. Do you have a nature view at your home?
Do You Consider Detail Views When Shopping Online?
In my review of the Home Decorators Annandale Jute Area Rug last week, I voiced my concern that the rug didn't resemble the product image on Home Decorators website. An anonymous commenter on the post shared a similar concern, saying she would have passed on the rug from looking at the product image, but after reading my post and seeing my own photos of it, she ordered it! Home Decorators was pleased to receive my feedback and have let me know that they've already begun to add "Detail View" photos to certain rug collections, including the Annandale Rug.
Do You Have a Gorgeous View?
I wish this were the view from my front porch! It's actually the view from a farm stay at a cabin I visited in New Zealand a few years ago.
I also love the view from my home's deck, but I've lived in a few other places where the view was less than desirable.
This Just In: Eat the View Wins Over On Day One
You may remember back in August, I told you about a campaign and petition to plant healthy, edible landscapes in high-impact, high-visibility places, including the White House — much like San Francisco's Slow Food Nation Victory Garden — called Eat the View. Well, as it turns out, after the polling the public on their preference of 81 ideas for our future pres., Eat the View was named the winner by On Day One, a platform for gathering ideas about what Obama should do on his first day in office. This isn't to say that Obama will be taking any orders from On Day One, but the people have spoken, and it's clear that many would like to see some veggies growing at 1600 Pennsylvania.

Su Casa: Four Rooms With a View
Sometimes, moving into a smaller space can make your style shine more. When Sugar staffer Nancita and her boyfriend moved from an enormous rent-controlled San Francisco apartment into a more reasonable one-bedroom unit, they were pleasantly surprised at how their downsized digs made every item pop. So let's take a tour, shall we?

Desire/Acquire: Williams-Sonoma Home Andersen Wing Chair
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member The City Girl from the Su Casa group:
I LOVE Williams-Sonoma Home, and if I were a millionaire I'd happily choose staples from their collection for my home. Sadly, I'm not, so I tend to look at more lowbrow furniture sites when considering a new piece. Still, I do like to fantasize occasionally and view the Williams-Sonoma Home furniture, so imagine my surprise when I saw a chair that looked just like one I'd spied on a cheaper site the day before!
