Ask Casa: Petrified Wood and Ceramic White Stools?
Hi CasaSugar!
I am working on wrapping up my living room and would love to get a petrified wood stool and a ceramic white stool similar to those in Monique Lhuillier's house (that I am totally in love with), which was featured on an Elle Decor cover a year ago.
I've talked to Hudson Furniture in New York — they have the petrified wood but they sell at $1,200-2,000 each.
Crave Worthy: Esther Derkx Improved Crockery Platters
These Esther Derkx Improved Crockery Platters ($45) are from Esther Derkx, who screenprints quirky images onto vintage dishware. Esther completes this task with such skill that you'd swear those images were always meant to be paired. Her retro images of gymnasts, divers, and dancers give old crockery a flirty lift.
Etsy Find: Modern Porcelain Vase
As Shoshona Snow says, her Modern Porcelain Vase ($28) is "modern, eye catching and just too cute to pass up." It's clearly inspired by mid-century designs, and also has a wonderful, tactile quality. I love its cool olive-y green color, clean lines and smooth curves.

Sensational Ceramic Hair Brushes
Ceramic hair brushes work much the same way that ceramic flatirons do: They hold heat from your hair dryer longer and distribute it evenly throughout the brush. Not only do ceramic brushes dry your hair faster than wooden or metal models, but they also protect hair from excessive drying and eliminate frizz. After switching to a ceramic brush, you will undoubtedly feel the difference in your light, silky smooth hair.

Happy 103rd Birthday Eva Zeisel!
World-renowned Hungarian industrial designer Eva Zeisel turns 103 today! Though she is best known for her work with ceramics, Eva, a featured Designer Spotlight here on Casa, has designed everything from acrylic candelabras to wooden and glass coffee tables, and is considered by many to be the matriarch of industrial design.
In fact, New York magazine named Zeisel in its list of nine living Design Revolutionaries back in '07.
Reader Review of the Day: Remington T/Studio Ceramic Digital Flat Iron
When it comes to flat irons, sometimes you score big with an amazing bargain, while other times, the deal fizzles out flat. Reader kayecouture tried out Remington T/Studio Ceramic Digital Flat Iron ($40) and got burned. Here's why:
This flat iron is a piece of crap.
Roundup: Chevron's Goin' On
I spotted this Black Zigzag Lamp ($185) at Emilia Ceramics, a San Francisco-based ceramic import shop, and felt a revived love for chevron patterns. The contemporary lamp is handmade by Mexican pottery studio Talavera Vázquez in the city of Dolores Hidalgo. I've been drooling over Madeline Weinrib's cotton flatweave zigzag rug ever since I saw it, but aside from that, I've never felt much affinity for chevron/zigzag patterns.
Beauty Marked: A New Hairdryer
Ever since my Solano Top Power 3200 Hairdryer broke, I've been looking for a new one with the following criteria:
- My hair gets frizzy so I need a hair dryer with a narrow nozzle attachment.
- I like it to have a high wattage so it doesn't take me forever to dry my long hair.
- I love the cool shot feature. It's an essential if you want to set your hair in different styles.
