Good, Better, Best: Wine Racks
A friend asked me to find her a handsome wine rack for her bedroom because her recent grad roommates consistently drink any "booze" she leaves in the kitchen. Natch, I agreed. There are plenty of stylish wine racks, so I knew it wouldn't be a difficult task.
Found It! Zebra Kilim Stool
Flipping through my blog feed, the apartment of a contestant in AT:LA's Small Cool 2008 contest caught my eye. Yes, it was small, and cool, but that's not why it grabbed my attention. I recognized the zebra print stools in the contestant's living room from a previous Steal of the Day of mine.
Sale Alert: World Market's Spring Sale
Cost Plus World Market has a home-décor sale going on right now. While the sale is limited in the number of items available, there are some good deals to be had. In addition, their normal sale section is chock full of great finds.
Steal of the Day: Cost Plus World Market Star Lantern
The Red Star Lantern (originally $19.99, on sale for $14.99) from Cost Plus World Market would look lovely hung in multiples on an ornament-covered porch or from the branches of a front-yard evergreen. Illuminated from within by a tea light, the cutouts in this lantern will cast playful patterns along whatever interior or exterior landscape from which you choose to hang it.
Steal of the Day: Zebra Kilim Stool
I've been loving the zebra rug trend for some time now but I have yet to saddle up. A large bold print zebra rug might clash with my existing décor, and I don't quite want animal hide in my home, so I've been looking to get my stripe on with a smaller, more humane measure. I think this Zebra Kilim Stool ($79) is just the thing to do the trick, and it won't break the bank either.

Vivienne Tam Launches Upholstery Furniture Collection
Fashion force Vivienne Tam is taking her modern Chinoiserie home — to your home. She's partnered with Rowe Furniture to create a new collection of custom upholstery furniture, including multiple sofa groupings and accent pieces. While designing furniture is a natural extension for many fashion designers, I think Tam's strength lies in textiles, so I'm excited to see a range of exclusive fabric designs used in the collection.
On the Market: Yves Saint Laurent's Villa Mabrouka
French designer Yves Saint Laurent, who passed away in June 2008, is known for his iconic fashions. However, the designer also had a discerning eye when it came to the world of real estate. His Moroccan home, Villa Mabrouka, or "House of Luck," is currently on the market, and I am swooning over the house's location, style, and interior design.
