Would I put this in MY home?

I saw lots of goodies at Market, but the question I always ask myself is…

WOULD I PUT THIS IN MY HOME?

This is the litmus test for whether a product makes it into my resource library.

So today I’m sharing my top picks and why they "passed the test"

Alexa Hampton for Hickory Chair
via

This vignette designed by Alexa Hampton using her signature pieces
is the epitome of updated luxury.
I love it because it’s traditional but definitely not expected.
It has a clean aesthetic that speaks to the way we live now – uncluttered, comfortable and elegant.

Currey

This petite chandelier has so much going for it.
The overscaled frosted glass beads create a luminous glow that would be killer in a powder room!
It made my list because it’s a fresh new take on a classic design.

Pearson 9845 Cabinet
http://www.pearsoncompany.com/

My third pick is a Deco-Inspired chest from Pearson that’s wrapped in faux Shagreen. Why?
Just look at the attention to detail.
Beautiful lines and impeccable craftsmanship add up to an heirloom-in-the-making!
And I have to admit I’m a big fan of Deco…

Van Thiel Map Room
http://www.vanthielantiques.com/our-collections/

I’ve always been drawn to the art of printmaking and having a source like this is

my equivalent to being a "kid in a candy store"!

Not only are there thousands of antique maps in here,

but the other engraved images are equally unique and engaging.

I selected this because I believe that what’s on your walls should be as fabulous as the

furniture you place in a room. And antiques add a layer of patina that you can’t get any other way.

Hooker Chic Coterie Home Organizer
http://www.hookerfurniture.com/

I’m the mother of two grown children

so there’s always a practical side to my design.
This Hooker piece gets my vote for successfully blending function with beauty.

And oh how I wish it had been available when my kids were young!
It is actually part of the first furniture collection inspired by

Who better to guide functional design than the online pinboard that is dominated by women?
Enough said.
