What the $****#$ Fridays: Not on My Floor

As I often tell my clients, rugs can be the biggest piece of art in the room that you don't have to frame. That said, CB2 has got some bad art hanging around. Their Doce Caras Rug is one of the worst offenders, even at $199 (was $349).

Bubble of Solace

It got me thinking about bubbles--little places to tuck away and be cozy. Bubbles like Overstock.com's cool, retro-inspired Hanging Bubble Chair ($612, was $908).

I found this for a client the other day. She didn't fall in love but I did. That means this piece of sale prey is all mine!

TMI Tuesday: Reflections While on Retreat

I can gaze at my more relaxed self in the reflection of this spa blue looking glass.

Spa Day!

I am tuckered out and needing some relaxation. So I am taking the day off and spending it with a gal pal at Spa Castle, a 5-floor building in Queens devoted to all things chill. Between the pool bar and saunas lined with gold, I think I could get used to this place--even if they do make you wear horribly unattractive uniforms.
