It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these installments, but when I spotted this chair I knew it was about time. First inclination? Woah, hideous. But then…I found myself scheming ways of crafting my own DIY version. I’m torn, ugly or awesome? (-Allie)
Fin Armchair, $7,000, Vivre.
Pillows! Had you forgotten how much we love them? How about these babies – they’re accented in leather, so your sofa will look super-tough, but the peppy colors will keep if just sweet enough. (-Moe)
Tenda pillows, $150 each, at Pure Palette.
For the past week I’ve been scoffing at all the Christmas sales and decorations. Puh-lease, it’s not even Thanksgiving yet! But then I stumbled across these little beauties and thought, well, it’s never too-too soon for holiday decor…riiiight?
Hand-Carved Reindeer in Racecars, $59 for set of 9, Wisteria.
How do you like this bold color combo? Looks like flavors you’d find in a Slurpee or something (ok except for the dark brown). But it’s cool and bohemian, sort of offbeat. I love the raspberry with orange, and that spot of blue and chocolate really anchor it. (-Moe)

Remember how we periodically like to address the fact that not all of you, dear readers, are women? Well, here’s a his-and-hers objet for ya: a natural slate serving tray. Sourced right in (upstate) NY, I think this strikes that perfect balance of casual and cool. (-Moe)
Natural Slate Serving Tray in Gray, $24, Brooklyn Slate Co.
Remember how I love organization? Any pretty incentive to be OCD is super for me – like these gorgeous boxes to get all of your storage coordinated. Plus the fabric is recycled cotton remnants – eco-friendly, yay! (-Moe)
Groovy Pink/Red Nesting Boxes, $106 for set of three, at Arcadia Home.
Oh, I love this chair. I do have a fondness for out-there upholstery (remember this beauty?), but something about the lemony yellow makes me smile. Plus, I think yellow’s a great color to transition from summer to fall – just pair it with those autumn oranges and browns we like and it doesn’t feel too sunny. (-Moe)
Songbird Yellow Chair, $1,599, at Arhaus.
Have you ever returned to your car after a quick errand to find one of those little glowing-orange stubs stuck on your windshield? Ahhh, city life… Fishs Eddy has taken one of the most pesky aspects of urban dwelling and turned it into a playful piece of tableware. Hey, metermaids, take this tray and shove it up your… (-Allie)
Parking Ticket Tray, $9.95, Fishs Eddy.
Here’s one more little dose of Halloween spirit for you: a darkly stunning “chandelier.” It’s purely decorative but casts a dramatic shadow for your Halloween halls (or, really, to make a dramatic statement any time). It was previously priced at $98…now that it’s marked down to $19.99—Let me repeat myself: $19.99—you might as well purchase one to save for your holiday decor next year. Happy Halloween! [insert spooky haunted house noises here.] (-Allie)
