I finally found a set of reading chairs for our office after much searching, but they were so unique I had a hard time deliberating what ottoman to get. That was when I remembered tree stump tables. Of course! Distinctive on their own and very fashionable, the tree stump end table was a perfect solution. All that was required was to select a marbling wood that complemented the frame of the chairs.
Blue Frog Restaurant and Bar in Mumbai is treat for the senses. The fine dining haute spot is filled with a semicircle of undulating cellular booths at different sizes and heights that gathers around a central stage for live musical performances.
Esquire’s most recent Ultimate Bachelor Pad is now unveiled in SoHo and is it ever dressed to impress. In the main area you’ll find the Cuelight Pool Table by Obscura Digital. Special sensors track the movement of the billiard balls below, the sensors then activate the projector above that creates the illusions you see. You can customize the reactions to look like water, streaks of lights, or make movement reveal an image. Obscure digital is known for their inovative creations that help companies advertise in new and different ways, that is how this works so well for Esquire, just pop a picture in of the latest cover. iJustine toured the Esquire SoHo house (check out the amazing black glossy ceiling at 2:56 on her video) and featured this pool table. The Cuelight projector can be installed over an existing pool table, you just need a place above to mount it. You know, I could totally see Google picking up acouple of these for their staff.
Bandini is an opulent Italian company that carries many striking bath faucets and fittings. Take the Seta for example. The modern broken rectangle design is an elegant composition of chrome. The straight reserved lines of thise faucet has been coxed to bend with the water to the basin, and the operating lever has bent the opposite direction, giving the faucet a wonderful balance.
I love the feathered quill design on this hansome flatware design, even though I have a hard time thinking about the term feathered in a positive way now (I was the feathered hair child of the 80’s for a long time). Pottery Barn’s own very own design is a great transitional flatware that can go from casual to glamorous depending on the dressed table.
Designer Cynthia Leibrock has spent three years renovating Green Mountain Ranch to be a universally designed home they can live in for the rest of their lives. It is a beautiful home that marries function and gorgeous aesthetics in the best design relationship I have seen. The kitchen is another great example of accessibility and looks. There are few upper cabinets, but the lowers are made of Santos Rosewood and that veneer has been carried up to the ceiling to continue the look of the interesting grains of the wood. What I love the most about this kitchen is the Timpani Vessel Lavatory Sink by Kohler that sits on the antimicrobial countertop. Usually used in bathrooms, this sink becomes a fun prep sink for guests to use if they are helping out without getting in the way of the hostess. Bowls on counters as a accent are common, but this is a new twist that will get plenty of use.
Haute Surface Cork Tiles in Houndstooth is a delicious blend of the classic houndstooth pattern in chocolate and natural colored cork. Pop the pieces together to puzzle a surface large enough to set a casserole dish or copper pot. The interlocking cork tiles come in a set of 12 for $20.
I am not sure what it is about the fun and colorful Fiesta dinnerware that has me so enamored, but I find it irrisistable, and I am slowly building my collection. New to the Fiesta family is the color Lemongrass. It seems that the punchier-than-celadon green is gearing towards the younger crowd that is new to Fiesta, and sure to be future devotees joining in with the large population of longtime patrons to the USA made brand. Lemongrass is now available in stores.
