Love it! - Tribal design
To say "Tribal" design is here to stay is quite the understatement. Ethnic and tribal influences have existed in art, textiles, furniture and fashion for centuries. These motifs have always been the perfect way to add some design interest to an otherwise bland space, or wardrobe for that matter! Well The Habitat Shop in NYC has gotten this not so temporary trend right, with their fantastic array of tribal and ethnic inspired merchandise from clothing and bags, to home accessories and jewelry - they are a must see if you're in NYC!

Love it! - Pedestal table
As far as pedestal tables go, this is my most ideal in design, color and proportion. I love a classic round pedestal - for dining, entry or bedside table. And they work in any decor from contemporary to traditional.

Shops to Watch - The Habitat Shop NYC
The Habitat Shop is a new breed of design retail store, more of a lifestyle store, it is well-curated with everything in your Habitat from furniture, lighting, art, rugs and home accessories to clothing, baby and pet gifts - and the most insane selection of jewelry, new and vintage! One-stop shopping at its best. With their first location in NYC (19th st bet 6th & 7th ave) they are destined for a roll out of stores throughout the city. But for now, their newly opened 3000 sq/ft lofty space is located in the trendy Chelsea neighborhood. If you have the ability to stop in, its worth the trip :)

Love it - Rustic pillows
Not into pillows that sing? Well how about these rustic recycled pillows that are so muted, you'll swear they came from Grandma's attic. The British flag applique adds the perfect touch of whimsy to a chair or sofa upholstered in similar earth tones.

Style Story - Electric orange
If you didn't like orange before, you might want to rethink the electric color for Spring because it's splashed everywhere I look. If a rug is too much of the bold color, try accenting with a graphic pillow that can easily be switched out according to the season - love the Ikat!

Love it! - Woven basket
Do you have large potted plants/trees like I do? You know, the ones that come sold in a black plastic pot. Well no need to re-pot them soil and all, just get a great basket like this one from Crate & Barrel to sit it in. This natural woven basket with handles is a classic that will compliment any large plant!

Love it! - Bone sunburst mirror
I've seen my fair share of sunburst mirrors, but have never seen one in white bone! I have a bone mirror myself in a herringbone pattern,which I absolutely LOVE - this one might actually come in a close second. What a fresh new way to look at a classic motif.

Love it! - Drinkware
I'm very picky when it comes to drinking vessels - they need to be functional but design wise, I need to be inspired, especially when entertaining!
Whether you start the day with coffee or tea, this sunny-yellow mug is the best "good morning" you could ask for and your orange juice or water in the cylindrical stem will have you feeling like each sip is a taste of grandeur! (I own a set of them!)

Love it! - Abstract rug
A Picasso painting - NO! A really beautiful abstract rug designed by John-PaulPhilippe - YES! Monochromatic earth tones simplify what is a uniquely busy abstract pattern. Add some design interest to your floor but with warm colors, it won't cause too big of a splash!

Love it! - Sale duvet covers
When it comes to duvet covers, I only buy mine from one source, WestElm and I was just at the store yesterday to see that they're having a sale on most in-store duvets, but these were two of my faves. You can never go wrong with a beige geometric or earthy print. Regardless of your ever changing room decor, they are bound to match!
