A couple of people have contacted us about the TV cabinet/desk in Carrie and Big's apartment so we thought we'd tell you where you can get it. It is designed by Thomas O'Brien for Hickory Chair and it's called the Hailings Secretary.

Did you see Sex In the City II this past weekend? We thought it wasn't as bad as the reviews said it was... Seriously, don't you think the critics take this movie a bit too literally? After all, the movie is all about the clothes and the fantasies...
Anyway, did you like the bed in Carrie's and Big's apartment? We do. And we know exactly where to get it too.
The bed is made by Vanguard Furniture and you can see it here (it is shown as tufted but it's an optional feature. You can get it untufted plain as shown in the movie. The nail heads can be changed to polished nickel as well).
The fabric, which is what made the bed, is by Kravet Couture and it's called Velvet Gate, pattern number 29868. Shown in the movie in black/white, it is also available in other colorways. The fabric is a linen/velvet combination. Very, very pretty in person. You'd love it.
The fabric is priced at $149/yard but you can get it for $104/yard at the
Kravet fabric section on our site. Enter the pattern number "29868" (the quotation marks is recommended for precise search) and you can see all the colorways available.

We're crazy about this new beach shell chandelier from Currey & Co. Isn't it marvelous? Can you see this with a white linen couch and white-washed floor? You'll need a very high ceiling though. This chandelier is huge!
The size is 37rd x 64h and the price is $5750 including shipping, a little expensive, perhaps, but oh it's so worth it.
This will be posted on our
Currey Chandeliers section soon so please check back for more info.

After spotting this room on
Delight by Design, I had to find out more about the slipcovers on the chairs. They're perfect!
Traditional Home had an article about the charming English farmhouse belonging Richard Smith. Not surprisingly, he's a textile designer, and his home is filled with his amazing designs. These teal linen slipcovers are "Fretwork" #2066 from the
Orientaliste Collection. I also love the bright pop of color from the
Le Creuset casserole in the back...one of these days I'm going to start my collection of their Caribbean cookware. What do you guys think of that Moroccan lantern?? See more of his countryside home

One of my favorite places to visit in the blogosphere is
The Magic Brush, Inc. where the incredibly talented (and always hilarious) Jennifer showcases her gift for faux finishing. She's a true genius with a paint brush. Case in point: this
gorgeous turquoise island. Both Jennifer and Kierra (the owner) say it's even more beautiful in person. Seriously?! I am really digging that wallcolor too, I'm obsessed with reddish orange right now. Like me, Jennifer loves turquoise and uses it for a lot of projects...her studio is even painted one of my favorite colors,
Waterfall by Benjamin Moore. To see more of this island, and all of her other amazing projects, head
here!

Ooh la la! My eyes were in for a real treat when I discovered this fun bedroom designed by
Martensen Jones Interiors on
MadeByGirl. I know this is a room the little girl is easily going to grow into. Love that white backdrop, the fresh green and blue color palette, all the fab furnishings and fabric! Seriously, how many lucky ducklings have a Hermes throw at the foot of their bed?!
