Cool Idea: a Tablecloth Sans a Skirt
I recently introduced you to one of my favorite blogs, My Marrakesh, about a family's quest to build an eco chic boutique hotel, called Peacock Pavilions, in Marrakesh. As part of this quest, Maryam, the blogging girl, wanted her hotel's tables, Saarinen tables I might add, "to be, well, pretty." Instead of purchasing traditional round tablecloths or leaving the tables undressed, she designed her own tablecloths, edged with handmade passementarie buttons, because she didn't want "to cover the graceful stems of the Saarinen tables."

Morocco on My Mind
Just as we're gearing up for Summer, Life & Style is packing their bags for a trip to Morocco.
I love some of their picks, especially the gorgeous silverware and colorful tea glasses. You may have noticed that I've been peddling Moroccan items for months now, but I figure I might as well chime in once again with some more Moroccan items that I'm loving these days.

Nice and New: Jonathan Adler Green Marrakesh Rug
I'm pretty open about my love for Jonathan Adler, but for some time I've been disappointed with the lack of new inventory in his stores or online shop. I'm happy to report that there is now a plethora of fab new items on his web site. I'm green with envy over this hand-tufted Marrakesh Rug ($895), and think the pattern would be purdy perfect in my pad.
