Transcript

I was browsing West Elm recently, and here's what caught my eye. These print napkins from chef Marcus Samuelsson are a nice bold pop. This good be an easy and noncommittal way to bring color and pattern to your table. I love the Colin King ceramic table lamp. Dramatic shape, oversized shade, really changes the way that a room feels. I recently spec'd the Clive better dining chairs for our project in Brooklyn. I appreciate the small flourishes like these little feet on the back. The Laney floral shower curtain gives us two colors of this arts and crafts inspired pattern. Could be the perfect spruce for a lackluster bath. And finally, I ordered the auto nine drawer dresser for a bedroom at my house. I love the floating seventies inspired good, and the acorn finish has that ambery undertone I was looking for. There are a lot of beautiful things to choose from here. A few coordinating pieces can be the basis for a very strong theme in your space.
