Good, Better, Best: Wine Racks
A friend asked me to find her a handsome wine rack for her bedroom because her recent grad roommates consistently drink any "booze" she leaves in the kitchen. Natch, I agreed. There are plenty of stylish wine racks, so I knew it wouldn't be a difficult task.
Found It! Zebra Kilim Stool
Flipping through my blog feed, the apartment of a contestant in AT:LA's Small Cool 2008 contest caught my eye. Yes, it was small, and cool, but that's not why it grabbed my attention. I recognized the zebra print stools in the contestant's living room from a previous Steal of the Day of mine.
Sale Alert: World Market's Spring Sale
Cost Plus World Market has a home-décor sale going on right now. While the sale is limited in the number of items available, there are some good deals to be had. In addition, their normal sale section is chock full of great finds.
Steal of the Day: Cost Plus World Market Star Lantern
The Red Star Lantern (originally $19.99, on sale for $14.99) from Cost Plus World Market would look lovely hung in multiples on an ornament-covered porch or from the branches of a front-yard evergreen. Illuminated from within by a tea light, the cutouts in this lantern will cast playful patterns along whatever interior or exterior landscape from which you choose to hang it.
Steal of the Day: Zebra Kilim Stool
I've been loving the zebra rug trend for some time now but I have yet to saddle up. A large bold print zebra rug might clash with my existing décor, and I don't quite want animal hide in my home, so I've been looking to get my stripe on with a smaller, more humane measure. I think this Zebra Kilim Stool ($79) is just the thing to do the trick, and it won't break the bank either.

Stock Up on Pet Gear at World Market!
Who would've thought you could get such great stuff at Cost Plus World Market for your pets!? North loved the Sojo's treats I picked up for him awhile back, and I certainly loved Patches' Pinot and the Pet Hair Lifter, too. When I stopped back in over the weekend, I purchased a glow-in-the-dark squeaky ball, and some of these pet wipes to freshen him up between bath times.

From Magical Elves, the producers of Bravo's Top Chef, Top Chef Masters, and the soon-to-air Top Chef: Just Desserts, comes yet another reality TV show, tentatively titled United Plates of America.
Unlike its sister productions, United Plates will air on NBC. The premise: aspiring restaurateurs compete in a number of challenges involving the restaurant's concept, cuisine, management, and marketability.
Off to Market: Serving Ware
In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, I like to take inventory of my serving ware. I plan on doing a lot of entertaining between now and New Year's, and whether I'm plating up bite-sized appetizers or slicing pieces of roast chicken, I'm going to need a lot of serving trays and bowls.
I want to invest in a couple of new ones, can you help me find them?
