my ultimate furniture wishlist 5: benches and stools

If I had the space (or the money!) for the Barcelona couch in white it would be spectacular! For now, I can only dream and salivate...

Good lord. This Lin Pod bench by Leif Design Park is adorable beyond words! That built-in planter adds an element of humor for me. This would be great in a foyer/vestibule. 

I've always loved the Yanagi Butterfly stool designed by Sori Yanagi from Hive Modern. It's a piece of sculpture that demands to be its own small focal point in a corner of a living room or in a foyer.

These Reversible side tables from West Elm could function as a couple of stools. I love the clean lines, the wood grain, the angles and the simplicity. 

nesting tables = necklace

Clearly, I am partial to beautiful things made of wood. It's a major decorative element in my apartment. For instance, I've had these West Elm nesting tables for a few years now. (A flexible coffee table set up is great when you have a dog)

During the early fall of '08, I stumbled upon this gorgeous wood necklace by local Brooklyn designer, Erica Weiner, at the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene.  

So it dawned on me the other day that: 

a) I found at least one way to wear decorative elements I like from my apt. 

b) I'm so predictable but...  

c) At least I'm consistent. 

Ha!

Here's the necklace on Erica Weiner's Etsy shop. I had the necklace length customized (and the price was nicer at the Brooklyn Flea!)
