World Market is smoking hot

I joined the "World Market Explorer" so I get daily emails and coupons and earn bucks back (a must if you frequent).  There are so many cool things that I can't get enough of as of late.

Well for starters, we started to Finish Start our empty dining room and I loaded up on the Arcadia table and Paige chairs, and its quickly becoming one of my fave rooms in our house.

Arcadia Extension

Linen Paige

I'm also digging this ensemble for an eat-in kitchen area.  Casual enough that it will get better with age and you don't have to worry about dings etc.  A great homework table too!

Jackson Table and Tub Chairs

This side chair has a great size and looks way more pricier than the $300 price tag.

Herald Chair

This metal cabinet is awesome!  Its pretty tall, so its got some good presence and it looks authentic vintage..like straight out of an old timey Drugstore or something.  I love the idea of it in a TV Room, Boys Room or even a kitchen if you have the room.  And bonus-its got a child proof lock :)

Metal Display Cabinet

This Console is also on my want need list.  The proportions are great for a tight space (pretty long and very slim depth), and the finish is pretty spot on with the whole Danish movement. AKA RH knockoff  I love the idea of this as a buffet in a dining room.

Everett Table

I think these metal dressers would be amaze as a pair of nightstands.  Such cool detail!

And this Wingback's price is just too good $170?!?!!?!?

Magnet Gray Victoria

You cannot go wrong with a natural rug, I think they can literally go in every room and look totally chic, and will never go out of style.

Basket Weave Jute

and also on that list is cowhide.

Light Natural Cowhide Rug

You know how I feel about mass-produced artwork, that everyone has (I'm talking about you, Keep Calmers), so I don't typically ever browse their wall art, but the mirror selection is pretty great.  This little hanging mirror has such an original vibe to it. So cute in over a dresser.

Matte Silver Hanging Mirror

And lastly, World Market is killing with their lighting lately.  I mean- one of each please!

Riveted Floor Lamp-two of these bad boys flanking a couch-umm yes.

Try to find a crystal base lamp for under $30, its hard!!!  Love this!

Good size and $100-a steal!  Very Aiden Gray minus the price tag.

Lovely! And under $200

So what do you think of my picks?  I say get out there, because some of this awesomeness is already selling out :(  And don't forget to sign up for the Explorer!!! So So So worth it.

World Market

I stopped in to the Market this weekend to see what's new and I was blown away by some of their new stuff.  If you are a fan of the Restoration Hardware Dutch movement you must check them out.  By the way, I think that the website does them no justice, so you need to check them out for yourself if you can. Here are my picks--

Vinod Trunk

Slipcovered Luxe Sofa...where else can you find a sofa for under $200 these days?!?!?!?

French Bistro Side Chair

Provence Dining Table

Accent Table

Aiden Coffee Table (and side table, console, and etegere)

Metal Tub Chair

Swivel Chair

Jackson Table

5'x8' Tufted Rug

5' Round Suzani wool Rug

Land's End greatness

I don't where I have been (apparently under a rock), but I came across some Land's End recently and 1) when did they get a home department? and 2) when did they get so awesome and wallet friendly?  Consider me a new subscriber to the catalog.

Check out my top picks:

$99 for an 5'x8'

How lovely is this? 

Goin' Country.....

In addition to my infatuation with color, I find great pleasure in simple nuetrals.  For some reason its seems more "adultish" (if that's even a word) in terms of design-- very regal, classic and has a "I traveled the world, gathered things for years and now I'm relaxing with them" feel. 

I'm so scattered with my design tastes that I'm pretty sure that I could design for days and love every style just as much as the next.  One of my daily reads Cote De Texas, gives me just enough French Country style to cure my fix every now and then.  So when I saw this 1924 house in San Antonio for sale, something about it just sang to me (I know I'm corny)...I could live here (too)!

That marble is to die for!

Wood ceilings can do no wrong in my eyes!

Check out that 150 year old tree

Exterior shot, driveway could use some help but the charm of this place is amazing

Pottery Barn is also getting into the groove of the French Country as well.  Take a look at thier new 'Inspired by Provence' for the early Fall.  Geez I wish I were in Provence....

And of course, the French Country staple-- Wisteria
