Casa Shops: W Hotel Online Store
Thanks to FabSugar, I know that the W Hotel now as an online store. Their home section doesn't have the largest selection yet, and may be a bit pricey, but I'm hoping one day soon they'll offer all the unique, trendy home items you can find in their boutiques. Click the images below to see what's on my wish list.

Home Away From Home: Chandelier Creative
Chandelier Creative is a three-year-old, full-service creative agency based in New York City with a focus on fashion, beauty, retail, travel, and luxury lifestyle brands. Among Chandelier's clients are Coca Cola, Four Seasons, Parfums Givenchy, Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Old Navy, Nanette Lepore, and W Hotels. Though the agency's client list is certainly an impressive one, you know me: I find myself more taken with the interior design of its SoHo penthouse, designed by agency owner, Richard Christiansen.
Before and After: Halsig's Bathroom Makeover
If you saw TeamSugar member Halsig's brilliant lighting design and her impressive kitchen remodel, I'm sure you have no doubt that she's taken that design goodness to other areas of her San Francisco loft as well.
In fact, her remodel of her oh-so-basic bathroom, which she called "a gas station bathroom," might just be what impresses me the most.

Steal of the Day: Pottery Barn Chesapeake Changing Cabana
Ever since I snuck up to the rooftop pool at W Hotel in New Orleans for a late-night swim, I've been convinced that a cabana is the key to the ultimate poolside haven. Not only can you use it to slip into your teeny weeny yellow polka-dot bikini, but it's also a great escape from the sun and other poolside dwellers. In other words, it's the quintessence of Summer style.
In the News: Cold Storage Living
New York's "Warmer When Occupied" is a sneak peek into the TriBeCa home of architect Diana Kellogg and husband writer-director Neil Burger (Interview With the Assassin, The Illusionist). And, when I say "home," I mean a former cold storage warehouse. The couple had their eye on the place for years, "drawn to the mysterious qualities of the street and the house,” and finally jumped on it in 2001.
Cool Idea: Fringe Benefits
The Inga Sempé Brosse (inquire for price) is a storage unit that proves there truly are benefits to fringe. Its large, car wash-style brush bristles were adapted to conceal shelves storing your personal items, be it books, tableware, or umm . .
Design Cares Event a Success
Last Tuesday Metropolitan Home and the New York Design Center hosted the sixth annual Design Cares charity auction and holiday-cocktail party. Guests came together to participate in the silent auction benefiting the Partnership For the Homeless’s Furnish a Future program. Furnish a Future is New York City’s only free-furniture bank.
Midday Muse: Another Reason Why Mirrored Furniture Is Cool
You might have noticed that I'm a huge fan of mirrored furniture, particularly mirrored coffee tables. Well, flipping through old photos of a night at the W Hotel in New Orleans, I found a snapshot of a friend applying rouge via—what else?—a mirrored coffee table!
