Nice and New: Pottery Barn Woven Cafe Chair

CasaSugar — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 13:00:00 -0700

One of the greatest things about eating at an outdoor café is being one of the lucky ones who scores a seat in the sun. But on those perfect Spring days when the café chairs at your favorite boulange have all been scooped up, you're not completely at a loss. Head home with a baguette in hand and re-create the look of that sunny sidewalk station at your home with Pottery Barn's new Woven Cafe Chair ($199). Crafted from all-weather synthetic, the chair has the look of woven rattan without all the hassle. Just add lemonade, and you'll be set through the Summer.

Love It or Hate It? Pottery Barn Twill Cube and Tuffet

CasaSugar — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:00:00 -0800

Pottery Barn has caught onto the pouf trend and finally produced some of its own. Unfortunately, in a natural-colored cotton twill, the Twill Cube and Tuffet ($99) are as bare bones as can be. No pattern. No texture. Nothin'. What do you think? Do you like the simple seat or does it need more flair? Does the wallet-friendly price make you take another look?

Four Fursonalized Gift Ideas (Dogs Can't Read, Right?)

PetSugar — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:00:00 -0800

With all that effort spent agonizing over a pet's name, it's time to shout it from the rooftops! Actually keep your pets inside safe and sound with these four items that proudly post his (or her) name. You see, even though they can't read it themselves, this way no one mistakes their bed for a floor cushion or a toy pot for a crock pot.

Take the Ceramic Dog Toy Crock ($69), for example. Not only does it lay claim to their stuff, but there's a whole kennel full of breed silhouettes for the visual learners, too. However, if a pup only has eyes for the next meal, a Waterhog Pet Place Mat ($33) has his name and proper places for food and water dishes.

After playtime and mealtime indoors, bundle up a pooch in the Taslon Weatherproof Coat ($59) coming in nine sizes and two colors (like pink!). Then after everyone's pooped and pooped out, naptime begins on a lovely Dog Bed Cover ($49 and up) with no added fees for making it a namesake. For heaven's sake, what are you waiting for? Let them make a name for themselves.

Desire/Acquire: Pottery Barn's Edison Chandelier

CasaSugar — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 07:30:21 -0800

I love the dangling, octopus-arms look of Pottery Barn's Edison Chandelier ($400). Crafted of iron with bronze-finished cord brackets, the chandelier was inspired by the beauty of industrial fixtures and the 20th-century architectural designs of Adolf Loos. It's actually not that badly priced, but luckily, you can find something very similar for even less money.

Find out where you can get it when you read more.

The Industrial Pendant Chandelier ($225) is a custom-made chandelier from Etsy seller ModernMilieu. It consists of 10 outlets hanging from six-foot-long cables, which can each be attached to the ceiling in any way you choose. It's a very close match to the Edison chandelier, don't you think?

BeadBoard Outlet Desk: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:43:30 -0700

Used to be (well, still is), you had a desk and you just figured out how to plug your electronic life into it, particularly laptop cords and such. Nowadays you can get furniture that's built for such modern uses, like Pottery Barn's Beadboard Space Saving Desk ($500), which features a five-plug outlet in the cabinet.

It's like having a charging station built in to your desk, and the drawers slide both ways, so there's no jerry-rigging necessary to get your tech organized on it. The only thing is that I'm not in love with this rustic look. What do you think?

Steal of the Day: Pottery Barn Rattan Luggage Rack

CasaSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 05:30:00 -0700

Still reeling from the parade of friends and family in your home this Summer? Prepare your house for the next busy season by outfitting guest rooms with the Pottery Barn Rattan Luggage Rack ($59.99, reduced from $89). The durable rack, made of thick rattan poles and wrapped with rattan strips, will host a revolving door of suitcases and seasonal gear.
Don't get many visitors? I'd transform it into a chic side table by having a glass top cut to fit, or even just setting a leather, rattan, or metal tray on top it. A portable tray top would be great for cocktail parties. Or you can buy two, and use them as bedside tables. What do you think?
