Metal Lace

We love the delicate cut-out shapes of these metal lace table top accessories. They strike that contemporary balance somewhere between Moroccan lanterns, Art Deco aspirations, and grandma’s doilies.

The trays are obviously useful as well as simple decorative pieces, and to be perfectly honest, I predict the napkin holder will manifest itself in my home in the near future.

Spotlight on Zuo Modern

Between graduate school and blogging, I spend a lot of time at the computer. As you can imagine, a great desk chair is a must for me and so a couple of years ago I invested in the stylish and uber-comfortable Zuo Modern Nexos chair. I’ve been happy with it since the day that I bought it and I have had great experiences with the company in general.
