How Much Would You Spend on a Throw?

CasaSugar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:00:05 -0700

I'm not much of an animal-print person, but for some reason I'm really drawn to these Williams-Sonoma Home Safari Printed Cashmere Throws ($268, reduced from $368). While its luxurious cashmere and wool blend may be cause for its high price tag, that doesn't mean I'll actually be buying it. I think my max has to be $200 for a really, really lovely throw. What's yours?

Nice and New: Breast Cancer Awareness Décor Products

CasaSugar — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:00:39 -0700

Every October, retailers around the world sell products designed to raise money and awareness for breast cancer charities. Décor products certainly fall into this category, too. The problem is that while seeing a plethora of pink ribbon-branded items in retailers left and right may catch your eye, most products don't necessarily inspire you to decorate your homes with these items year-round. So I was excited to see some chic pink products that I'd certainly purchase regardless of the campaign.

First, Williams-Sonoma Home will donate $10 from the purchase of every Pink Solid Cashmere Throw ($298) this month to support breast cancer research and patient treatment. You can choose between a light or hot pink 50-by-65-inch fringed throw.

Through Oct. 30, Blissliving Home will give 20 percent of proceeds from orders placed on select products to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and give you free shipping. But, you must enter the code SUSANGKOMEN at checkout to participate. The products in the Give & Receive Shopping Event include select bedding and bath items, candles, plates, decorative boxes, and throws, most in a soft, pinky/mauve palette.

Steal of the Day: Williams-Sonoma Link Embroidery Sheet Set

CasaSugar — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 04:30:05 -0700

Sheets may not be the most exciting decorative home purchase, but you can't live without 'em, so I think a little ornamentation is due where they're concerned. That's why I'm loving the Williams-Sonoma Link Embroidery Sheet Set ($99.99-149.99). The chains of embroidered diamonds in orange, blue, or khaki give your basic white sheet a subtle hint of color and flavor, without looking overwhelming, tacky, or complicated. Like most, the set comes with one flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and two standard cases, and you can also purchase extra cases if you're a pillow person.

Nice and New: Iron Gate Crewel Duvet Cover

CasaSugar — Tue, 06 May 2008 09:15:48 -0700

One small change you can make in your bedroom that will have a vast visual effect - as evidenced by Zoë's before and after -is to introduce a new duvet cover. The Williams-Sonoma Home Iron Gate Crewel Duvet Cover ($348-$448) may not be the most affordable one, but its white-on-white or black-on-white pattern is certainly versatile enough for many color schemes. While its name suggests it's inspired by the interlacing design of antique iron gates, I'm also getting a Van Cleef and Arpels vibe from it, as well as a resemblance to Dwellstudio's Sketch textiles, both of which I love. The graphic quality would also suit both modern and traditional homes. Would this duvet work in your chambre?

Nice and New: Williams-Sonoma Home Williams Trunk

CasaSugar — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 15:00:00 -0700

The antique trunk used as a side table in my childhood home must have its grips on me because once again, a crave worthy coffee table trunk has caught my eye. This time, the new Williams-Sonoma Home Williams Trunk ($2,950) is on my mind. I love how its classic shape is balanced by updated nickel-plated hardware. And who would shy away from a table that moonlights as storage? I'd use it as a warehouse for cozy throws and timeless board games. I also think its golden raffia covering warms up the room, but still blends nicely with any color scheme. If you're not on the hunt for a coffee table, they've also got some cute matching cubes. What do you think?

Crave Worthy: Williams-Sonoma Home St. Helena Dresser

CasaSugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:00:50 -0800

For all the hours you spend earmarking glossy pages, window-shopping, and curating your wardrobe, your garb deserves the finest dwelling the shelter world has to offer. Enter the Williams-Sonoma Home St. Helena Dresser ($2,250). This timeless Shaker design has a restrained regal glamour and enough storage in its four stacked drawers for your day-to-day foldable apparel, and its unassuming pulls draw attention to its interesting shape. The two compact top-tier drawers are the perfect habitat for your precious underthings and some stacking jewelry trays. Use the lower shelf for decorative accents and a valet for the odds and ends that collect with the daily grind. I can't resist this dresser's crisp white feminine finish, but it's also up for grabs in a mahogany finish for a more masculine mien.
