Cool Finds at Anthropologie

Anthropologie is basically known for their amazing collection of clothing. But of course, all I care about is their home items. I spotted these lovely ikat bowls on this beautiful table setting done by Manvi at Mochatini.

Had to have them. So I went on the Anthropologie website, and spotted these amazing flame leaf bowls that I had to have even more. They're not even my style, but something about them was so compelling. Ugh, I need to keep my money in pocket, but I found myself in my car on the way the Anthropologie, without hesitation.

Once I got there, I saw that they had many cool home products. Here are a few I was able to capture.

Knobs (cabinet, door, other):

Dinnerware:

This is the bowl I bought! Lovely!

This bowl is reason I even discovered the flame leaf bowl. For shame!

Candle holder:

Glasses:

Duvets:

I'm noticing that I am particularly drawn to blue these days...

Monday Blues

It's Monday, and I just want to stay in bed with my head buried among the pillows- preferably these pillows...

What's Going On At Pier1

Pier 1 Imports is great for an eclectic mix of home furnishing ideas. I raced through the store quickly so I wouldn't buy too much, but of course I couldn't leave without buying something. Here are some of the items that caught my eye.

And what did I end up buying...?

Ta-da!

The cobalt blue drinking glasses! The color is such a perfect match for the plates I bought from World Market. I couldn't resist. They were on sale.

Even water will look good in these!

The Art of Blue... At Crate&Barrel

I've already discussed the art of blue here, where I explained that blue is a relaxing, communicative color that aids in suppressing appetite. If you're feeling blue these days, you may want to check out Crate&Barrel to incorporate this color into your home. They have some great pieces and home items that would provide touches of blue to your home marvelously.

Chi Town Living

I have to thank Strange Closets for his post on "Jim and Steve's Lakeside Condo (designed by Jonathon's Jesse Campbell). This condo is located in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood, and I want it for myself.

Where can I get that sofa?

I love cultural pieces in a room and unexpected pops of color.
