Crave Worthy: Nicolette Brunklaus Large Delight Shade
Rose and Radish put it precisely when they wrote, "Sometimes you need a lamp shade that is both understated and extremely eye-catching."

Steal of the Day: The Company Store Elia Rug
If my recent roundup has you itching for some flocking, I'm here to ease your pain. The Company Store Elia Rug ($69-$382) has the look of rich damask flocking, without the heavy price tag. You can get yours in blue, chocolate, green, or natural, but I'd suggest steering clear of the cotton-candy blue, so you don't overdo it.

While you'll still see this effect on contemporary wallpapers, the typically damask patterns have left an imprint on other home furnishings as well.
