Help a reader design her home office!

A lovely Decorology reader wrote to me asking for some assistance designing a small home office she shares with her husband.

Art in a Box – a great way to collect art

I was introduced to Art in a Box awhile ago and have finally gotten around to sharing it with you! The concept is that you "subscribe" and every month get a new piece of art from a San Francisco Bay area artist. You can read all about it on their site, artinabox.net.

A home with clean Scandinavian design but with personal touches life and travels

Scandinavian decor is a look I seldom dislike, as it follows one of my major decorating mantras, which is to keep your possessions edits to things that are functional and beautiful, and/or sentimental.

A new and unique concept for candles!

I was given a really unique sample of candles, and their scents are based on the color palette of your room! Over a week I tested each of them and one thing I definitely noticed was how nuanced they are. I am no scent connoisseur, but they are all complex and not too strong, or too weak....

Vintage Bookshelf from Munkii

I think this bookcase is so beautiful. And what a wonderful answer to those of us who like the organic lines of vintage style but also the clean design that modern furnishings provide. What do you think? I found out via Design Milk that the price isn't actually jaw-dropping. If you live in LA, you'll pay 2,099 USD + freight....
