Cowhide pillows

Do you keep a list of your most wanted furniture and home decor pieces? You know what I mean - those items that you're secretly wishing for? Or maybe not-so-secretly dropping hints about wanting? Whether it's a folder filled with magazine tear sheets, an inspiration board on Pinterest, or a mental list, we all have furniture, lighting, and accessories that we've come across that we'd love to see in our homes. As a designer, there are a few furniture and decor staples that I'm always drawn to. Here are my most wanted pieces:

Animal print pillows: cowhide is classic, and neutral animal tones like cream, brown, and black work with just about every design style and era. 

Transparent dining chairs

Transparent dining chairs: surprisingly comfortable and stylishly modern, a set of transparent acrylic chairs offers practical seating but doesn't add any visual "weight" to a room like dark wood chairs can. Pair them with the unexpected, like a traditional dining table, for maximum impact.

Tailored gray sofa

A tailored sofa: posh and classic, a tailored sofa exudes grown-up style. The contrasting black piping on this gray velvet sofa offers a playful contrast to the formal diamond tufting.

Mid century dining table

A mid-century inspired dining table: a contemporary interpretation of the classic Saarinen Tulip Table, this glossy white dining table beauty has a classic shape that pleases both modern and mid-century loving folks.

Modern console table

A stylish console table: a multifunction piece like a console table can act as a catch-all for keys in an entry; as an area to display family photos in a living room; or as a desk in a small studio. This modern faux shagreen finish accent table is not your grandmother's stuffy hallway console!

Silver chandelier

A sparkling chandelier: like a sparkling bauble on your finger (or perhaps gleaming chrome on a car, if that's more your speed!) a chandelier is a design essential for adding the final polish to a room.
