Five Fabulous Finds

Check out these five fabulous retail finds that can be used in nearly every room in your home!

 

1) French kitchen island. With a real marble top and classically styled legs, this piece can be used to supplement storage and counter space in a traditional kitchen. With a Carerra marble top, you can likely bake and roll dough with ease. Creative placement can have it serve as a dining buffet or even an entry console.  Not as great for a table (as shown by Crate and Barrel) since the legs impede comfortable sitting.






2) Wall mirrors. These look like windows and are perfect for a large wall that reflects a great view.  With beveled mirrors and curved mullions, they provide a classic element with timeless appeal. From Ballard Designs.





 

3) White vases.  Add texture and elegance with these interesting vases. Fill with organic elements for a serene style.  These are from Horchow and their scale is interesting so they can be used alone or as a pair.














4) Area rug. The hand washed appearance of this wool rug from Pottery Barn makes it a wonderful addition to a living room, bedroom or dining room










5) Silk drapes.  Silk adds an elegance to window coverings that works well in traditional interiors as well as modern styling. For the price, from West Elm, these are a great find in multiple colors and fully lined. You don't have to use the pocket...rings are easy to add.
