What You're Wanting Revealed: A Room For This Vase

CasaSugar — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:00:59 -0700

Since I first posted this challenge, my love for the Charles Catteau Deer Vase ($3,900) has only grown. Created in 1925 in Belgium, its brilliant colors and crackled surface are decorated with four deer. Its unusual appearance is just begging for a room to be decorated around it, don't you think? For this last What You're Wanting, I wanted to know how you'd decorate a room to complement this vase.

Cocochic designed a chic, subdued bedroom for the vase. She writes, "The ivory color of the vase is echoed in the linens with blues on the bed and in the art work. A deep purple throw and deep woods add dimension to the room. With glass and metal side tables and metal lamps with black shade, the room has a bit of glamour. I would put the vase on the dresser with some white orchids in it."

Congrats to Cocochic, who wins the CasaSugar schwag of her choice for her cool look!

I also loved the look that Chancleta created. Full of animal motifs, the room is beautiful and sophisticated, even though it's populated with wildlife. Nice work Chancleta!

What You're Wanting, Revealed: A Dashing Dining Room

CasaSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:40:51 -0700

For this latest What You're Wanting, I wanted to know how you'd create a dashing dining room, based on this dining room, which could be yours if you have $2.45 million to spare. It has great bones, but it needed a little fleshing out.

As usual, your creativity and thoughtful choices left me impressed. Thanks for the inspiration!

I loved the look that Luvs2curl put together, which she describes as "classic, romantic, formal, and elegant." I'm especially fond of the Michael Aram accent pieces.

Luvs2curl wins the CasaSugar schwag of her choice for the look she put together. Congratulations!

I also loved the dining room look put together by Cocochic, who says, "The color scheme for this room is all about peacock. Rich silk drapes, a green scroll rug, and new blue chairs add luxury and texture to the room. The china is modern but plays with the colors. The twig lanterns and nest-like chandelier add a whimsical, dream quality. The room is finished off with some bird prints and masculine finials."

What You're Wanting, Revealed: Johnny Knoxville's Boudoir

CasaSugar — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:00:36 -0700

For this latest What You're Wanting, I wanted to know how you'd redecorate Johnny Knoxville's bedroom.

As usual, your creativity and thoughtful choices left me impressed. Thanks for the inspiration!

I loved the look that Mrs_W put together. She writes, "For this room I would bring in a nice, light blue to complement the dark floors. I would bring up that dark tone with a tall dresser, vertical elements in the curtains and I would change the window trim to match the floor. Bringing in these vertical elements would also showcase the tall narrow windows. White and blue are my main colors with punches of red for flair. The low dresser, used with pillows, would serve as a bench at the end of the bed. The art and pillows I picked bring in a sense of whimsy and the outdoors. The sleek lines of the floor boards and architecture have been mimicked by the modern furnishings with feminine curve brought in as accents for a balanced feel."

Mrs_W wins the CasaSugar schwag of her choice for the look she put together. Congratulations!

I also loved the bedroom look put together by Bchicgrl, who designed a white bedroom accent by bright pops of color.

CasaSugar — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:00:40 -0700

For this latest What You're Wanting, I wanted to know how you'd create a stylish Summer porch.

As usual, your creativity and thoughtful choices left me impressed. Now I wish our house had a porch! Thanks for the inspiration!

I loved the look that Tdamji put together. She writes that, "Hot Summer evenings can be spent relaxing here on this porch. The cool blues and greens juxtapose the deep browns and crisp whites in this fun, Summer porch decor." I love the muted colors in her look, as well as the relaxing, comfortable furniture she's chosen.

Tdamji wins the CasaSugar schwag of her choice for the look she put together. Congratulations!

I also loved the reading nook look put together by Samischo, who designed a "bohemian/Indian themed porch, with tons of colorful pillows to lounge around on." Her picks look like they would make a great lounge area for balmy evenings, don't you agree?

What You're Wanting, Revealed: An Outdoor Dining Room For Adrian's Castle

CasaSugar — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:00:54 -0800

For the latest what you're wanting, I asked you how you'd furnish, accessorize, and style an outdoor dining room for Adrian Brody and Spanish girlfriend Elsa Pataky's stone castle-like house in upstate New York. The house is stunning, so I'm sure a basic picnic in the grass would still be glamorous, but AudreyStar really took the challenge and ran with it. So she wins the Sugar swag of her choice as a reward! Not only did she choose colors and materials that created a cohesive space, but she thought about all of the details of what a great outdoor space should have, including everything from lounge seating to festive napkin rings.

What You're Wanting Revealed: The Pickfair Mansion

CasaSugar — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 14:00:41 -0700

When the LA Times recently ran pictures of the Pickfair Mansion, which was often frequented by luminaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joan Crawford, Albert Einstein, and Amelia Earhart, I was particularly taken with the grandeur of the foyer. So, for this latest What You're Wanting, I asked how you'd decorate this glamorous entry.
I was really impressed by the look that Mrs W put together. She writes, "I love the mix of organic and ornate details in the foyer of the Pickfair Mansion. If I were to redecorate the entry hall, I would want to keep the pieces light and simple so as not to detract from the beautiful architectural details in the space. I would use a round table in the center of the hall to carry through the medallion on both the ceiling and floor and accent it with fresh flowers. I would use an armoire in a light color to add storage without bogging down the space. Two chairs on either side of a small table would give a place to remove shoes, etc. I would finish the design by adding details that echo the doors and ceiling like a few ornate frames and maybe a floral accent pillow."

Mrs. W wins the CasaSugar schwag of her choice for the look. Nice going!

I also loved the look that Iwillmarryunick put together. When putting together her look for this Pickfair Mansion room, she decided she'd go the route of "keeping it simple with lovely accent furniture." I completely applaud this. The room's ornate ceiling, doors, and gleaming floors are all ready the main attraction. It really needs little else besides some classic accent furniture pieces to complete the look.

What You're Wanting Revealed: Start With Elephant Art

CasaSugar — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:00:40 -0700

When Danny Seo gave us a peek into his new home, I was taken with this flea-market art find. So, for this latest What You're Wanting, I asked you to decorate a room to complement this elephant art.

This week, you provided me with lots of inspiration for how to use art in unexpected places - including in the bathroom. Check out my favorite looks below.

I was really impressed by the look that Grits put together. She writes, "I decided to do an office/guest room. I didn't go overboard on the elephant theme, but tied it in a couple of ways. I couldn't pass up the side table for the sofa (which would serve as a nightstand when it's pulled out) - the legs look too much like tusks! "

Grits wins the CasaSugar schwag of her choice for the look she put together. Congratulations!

Mletrav designed a cool bathroom around the elephant print. She writes, "I love quirky art in the bathroom - what a great place to have fun! I'm antitheme, though, unless the theme is 'pretty things.'"

I also loved the craft room put together by Hippiecowgirl, who writes, "The first thing that came to mind when I saw the elephant art was bright color! I decided to incorporate it into the type of room I've been wanting lately: a craft room. Workspace and storage were my primary focus. Comfy seating would be perfect for taking breaks to brainstorm or hosting crafting parties with friends."

What inspiring rooms! Check in tomorrow for the next What You're Wanting challenge.

What You're Wanting, Revealed: A Reading Nook

CasaSugar — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:00:17 -0700

For this latest What You're Wanting, I wanted to know how you'd create the ultimate reading nook.

As usual, your creativity and thoughtful choices wowed me. Now I'm even more determined to rearrange my house so I have a designated reading and relaxing corner. Thanks for the inspiration!

I absolutely loved the reading nook look put together by FunnyValentine, who wrote, "For me, reading is about magic and suspension of belief. That is also what this room is about. Fantastic shapes and surreal designs combine in comfortable, well-lit, soft and muted surroundings - perfect conditions, in my opinion, for becoming consumed in a story." I couldn't agree more!

FunnyValentine wins the CasaSugar schwag of her choice for the look she put together. Congratulations!

Rosadilia's look is light, whimsical, and Summer-inspired. I especially love her choices of colors and patterns. She does an artful job of mixing affordable and crave worthy products, such as pairing the Warp and Weft wool rug with the Bauhaus Arc CB2 lamp.
