Though I admire Arts & Crafts style (in fact I live in an Arts & Crafts bungalow), it can get a little dull. Andrew Stansell, a local furniture maker, has reinterpreted Arts & Crafts in metal in a new line. I particularly like this bookcase.

As my boss put it, “Gina went insane” at the 600 N. Michigan Ave. Linens 'n Things liquidation sale over lunch. I came hobbling back to the office with two huge bags full of Nate Berkus linen window panels and a bed skirt. According to my receipt, I saved $350. All sales are final, but if you're willing to commit on the spot, you'll be very happy with the deals.

Interior designer Hillery Estes and her associate, Meredith Smerchek, noticed an increase in their clients’ desire for pillow talk. (To see more on this subject, check out page 68 of our current issue!)

Look for lots of leather applications and designs inspired by vintage belt buckles. I’m a big fan of the one with the cream-colored Greek key stitching on chocolate leather. Find them at Zella Brown in ready-to-buy designs or order up a custom creation. About $300 each.
