Skull-king about

Hmmm, according to our Brit friends at MyDeco the skull motif is skulking its way to become a fashion icon. Check out the wallpaper from Beyond the Moon -- bronze flocked on bronze velvet pile -- available in black/gunmetal and gold -- in case you were wondering.

So while boho chic is out, death is very much in, and with Halloween looming at the end of the week we need to start embracing the darker side!

Barbie Dream Chair

Following the success of his Louis Ghost Chair, Philippe Starck created the Lou Lou Ghost “Barbie Style” for Kartell. While Kartell says the chair is "just for kids," I beg to differ. A little whimsy never harmed any living space.

Where's their smoke...

there should be a fabulous ash tray!

Back when I used to smoke, I would scour every store I entered for interesting ash trays. After a while I was simply looking for ANY ash trays. Oddly enough, I could never find them. Thankfully I had picked up two chrome pieces while vacationing in New England (of all places), because outside of the dreadful plastic numbers that lined the bars of less than charming establishments, none were to be found.

Thankfully Alessi understands that people still smoke -- and are happy to provide butts a chic place to rest.

P.S. -- Don't let the price tag intimidate you. This is roughly what you'd spend on gas money driving around to find a suitable substitute.

Modern Herringbone Tile

Zapala_Herringbone
Walker Zanger's Zapala Collection. Crafted from dolomitic limestone, its warm palette features a subtle blend of tan, taupe and khaki laced with ribbons of caramel. This tile would complement pretty much any room in any style, including Modern, Transitional, Zen and Spa.

It's available in herringbone (which we love), mini-planking and three-by-four-inch mosaics.
