I love stars and stripes just as much as the next Yankee, especially around the Fourth of July. But, if I'm going to invest in patriotic furnishings to use year-round, I'd prefer to make a more subtle tribute.
The Pottery Barn Americana Cube ($499, reduced from $699) has all the right ingredients.

I grew up with a kitchen table, but as an adult with a galley kitchen, there's no room for such a big piece of furniture. This pretty, white kitchen is making me covet one, though.

The difficult part about decorating is that sometimes we're drawn to furnishings that may look pretty in our homes, but simply won't work due to size or shape. It's kind of like the glass slippers that never quite fit Cinderella's stepsisters. Beautiful, but sorry girls, not for you.

Let's face it: when we're not hovering over the kitchen counter, our lives revolve around the coffee table. So why not make yours the center of attention, style-wise? I love the Barbarella-esque look of this Mondo Coffee Table ($273) from Overstock.

Art director and daughter of Carine Roitfeld, the longtime editor-in-chief of French Vogue, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld recently let photographer Todd Selby into her New York apartment. Selby has a knack for making everything look stylish (as does this beauty), but I was particularly taken with Restoin-Roitfeld's marble coffee table and side table. Her apartment may be decked out with fancy, fashionable accessories, but I thought there was something understated and unpretentious about these tables.

Whether you put it on your patio or decide to decorate your loft with it, the Maia Outdoor Accent Table ($269) from Pottery Barn is a must have for Spring. Its smooth surface comes courtesy of its blend of resin, stone, and sand, which replicates the look of real stone. Unlike stone, however, it's a much lighter weight, and relatively low maintenance.

Since we're on the topic of gender-neutral bedrooms, I decided to hunt down some nightstands for the nonpartisan rooms to help you get the look. Whether you're trying to fashion a successful cohabitation or you're just decorating a guest room or spare room, these tables are for you. The thing to remember is that your choice doesn't have to be bland to be neutral; you can still have color, ornamentation, shape, shine, and interesting materials without creating an overly feminine or masculine room.

Growing up, my siblings and I set the table each night while my mother cooked. Now, sadly, the habit is just to grab your own silverware and napkin before you down your grub. Is the table still set at your house?

The Golden Arrow Table ($2,500) features three arrows tied together at the center to form a tripod, and a round glass top perched on arrow heads. A series of these tables was originally designed for the Architectural Digest Green Room at the 2007 Primetime Emmy Awards. Do you think this table hits the mark?
