pottery barn: desk fan
You know, I like these for the office, not necessarily for home. Why? Well because if you are one of those that are stuck in a warm office and with limited workspace, then a desk fan works great and is sorely needed. And these look really good in their metal clothes. The fact that they are on sale makes them a great buy.

pottery barn: bamboo bench
Bamboo and rattan make for great materials to dress up a casual day room. We like this bench for the way it uses bamboo for construction and the rattan to bind the pieces. The tone is also lovely.

Peruvian hoop earrings
There is ethnic and then there is cool ethnic. This is cool ethnic. The stones are labradorites and the earrings are gold. The reason why we think that they are super chic is because the designer chose to keep it simple. The tear drop shape of the stones works really well with the hoops of similar shape and the use of only three stones actually accentuates the stones and reinforces the overall design theme. The model IS wearing the earrings; trust us!

Lacquer modular units at Feelmorehuman.com
We were getting a bit tired of the wooden shelfs and look what BLTD found. Lacquered (over plywood), shiny smooth shelving units. Very nice indeed. Combine these with some of the stunning chairs in your workspace and you will fit right in at an office in Norway.

South Shore Latté platform bed at Wal-Mart
Good old Wal-Mart. Can’t help but love it, especially in these times. Well, if are in the market for a twin bed and don’t want to spend a boatload of money BUT still want to have that chic look, the South Shore Latté platform bed might do the trick. I love the color and the contrasting drawer. It is simple, has clean lines and is perfect for, among others, your growing kid. Made of “engineered wood” (whatever the heck that is!) and comes with walnut and cream laminate finish.

Lola chaise at Chiasso
Oh just look at that! This curvy chaise can drive me nuts. If I had it, it would not move from it. The curvy shape just screams to be sit on. Needless to say, we love it for its simple lines, clean design and oh-so-curvy form. It is pricey but hey, if you are like me, you would develop a life long relationship with this thing.
