2012 New Releases from Made Goods

I have fawned over Made Goods before and I'm going to do it again because they a) relaunched their website and it has been vastly improved, b) expanded their product line for 2012, and c) flat-out produce absolutely amazing things and should be commended for their efforts!

Made Goods has the coolest style and unparalleled quality of materials and craftsmanship. Their aesthetic blends lots of styles and is hard to categorize. You could call it funky, sophisticated, chic, exotic, natural...but definitely not boring or ordinary. In a world full of copycats (i.e. Wisteria and Ballard Designs), they really lead the pack and come up with fresh, inventive designs. Being someone that's always craving something novel, I appreciate their creative spirit and stellar execution of their vision. Here's a sampling of their creations...






I'm infatuated with Made Goods' interchangeable accent tables and tops. My favorite base is the Osten and I can't pick a top that I like best because they are all fab...


They've released new additions to their product lineup and many of them have made my covet list. there is lots of turquoise faux shagreen, inlaid bone detailing, and perfectly antiqued mirrored finishes. Have a look at some of my favorites...



I also adore the glitzy Paris mirror, which is encrusted with rhinestones. What are you lusting over? If you're itching to buy some of these lovely goodies, then head over to Clayton Gray. They carry a wide selection of the Made Goods line.

Unbridled Bathroom Design

A reader recently emailed me about creating a design for her future bathroom. Since her fiance is in medical school and will be beginning his residency soon, she actually doesn't know where this bathroom will be...so there aren't nitty gritty details to take into account yet. As far as color goes, she mentioned blues and grey, and noted that there are touches of yellow and green around their current apartment. Other than those broad parameters, I had a blank slate and it was fun creating the following bathroom look for the soon-to-be-wed couple:


Keeping her fiance in mind, I tried not to go too girly...the use of navy and the industrial accents help in that regard. What do you think?

Countertop
Lucia Soap - Burke Decor
Marvis Toothpaste - Waterworks
Monogram Tray - Jill Rosenwald on Etsy
Mayfair Glass Jar - Urban Outfitters

Other Accents
Suction Cup Shower Clock - Urban Outfitters
Interlaced Garden Stool - Clayton Gray

Under Foot
Outdoor Rug - Pottery Barn (to go in front of sink)

Storage
Hamper - Pottery Barn
Covington Train Rack - Pottery Barn

On the Wall
Hayes Quatrefoil Mirror - Clayton Gray

Linens
Lacoste Robe - Macy's
Zigzag Floral Shower Curtain - Urban Outfitters
Maxwell Towels - Leontine Linens*
Diamond Bath Mat - Somewhere in cyberspace! For the life of me, I can't find the source for this thanks to my browser crashing during recon. If I figure it out, I'll add it to the post.

*The Leontine Linens towels are super expensive, and since she's getting married and can register for towels, these embroidered ones from Pottery Barn would be a great alternative...

Shopping and Sarah's House

Had my own little Sarah's House marathon last night. Like my decor magazine backlog, I have lots of episodes piling up on the DVR and felt the need to carve out some time to catch up with my TV friends.

It's one of the few shows on HGTV that doesn't get on my nerves...most of the others either have annoying hosts or effuse a really poor design aesthetic. Sarah and Tommy (add him to my loooong list of gay crushes...Tim Gunn, Jeff Lewis, Nate Berkus, Tom Ford, etc.) have a fun dynamic and in general, add great style to the spaces they work on. Here are two of my favorite rooms from Sarah's portfolio:


Anyhow, I browsed the interwebs while watching and ran across some cool new stuff that I wanted to share. Et voila...

Fretwork Mirror from Horchow

Zig zag rug from Clayton Gray, kinda Missoni-esque but with a price tag that's easier to swallow

Such a unique chandelier from Home Decorators...love the whimsical shape.

LOVE this sofa from Z Gallerie with the power combo of tufting and nailheads...great price too!


Martha puts her stamp on EVERYTHING these days from dog stuff to this outdoor rug

Oh Lord, I wish this table would work in our entry which is also from Clayton Gray.

Credenza a la Room Service Home...love that piece of artwork above it too!

Ignore the ugly rug and pillow and focus on the cool bamboo chair and the blue garden stool.

Hope you all have a wonderful, safe holiday weekend. Happy Independence Day!

Please wheel that cart full of booze over here

Why go get a drink when the drinks can come to you? I guess that attitude is why bar carts have been all the rage lately.  Most of what I've seen in the blogosphere has focused on the bar styling and not on where you can actually buy a cart. So, I'm here to get down to business and help you mobilize your libations!

Of course, 1stDibs, Ebay, and Craigslist are always worth checking out...especially if you want something vintage. But, if there's no time for deal-hunting and you need a vehicle for your hooch right away, I've provided the following round-up of online options (with prices):

$1,232.50 - random price, n'est pas?
Cosmopolitan Bar Cart - Williams Sonoma Home

$825
Roland Bar Cart - Clayton Gray

$549
Duncan Bar Cart - Restoration Hardware

$499
Teak Bar Cart - Frontgate


$460
Miami Tea Cart - The Well Appointed House

$399
Alfresco Natural Cart - Crate and Barrel

$279
Chesapeake Bar Cart - Pottery Barn


$69

Cheers and happy weekend!
