Here’s a coffee table that’s unlike any other – the unusual Table Layer by Gallotti & Radice. The table base is made of circular and stackable wooden parts. The transparent glass top sits right on the circular wood base pieces which come in different colors and finishes, like natural ash, wenge stained or white, black, saffron yellow, sand or chestnut lacquer. Depending on how many base pieces you choose, the table will be different heights. This is perfect for when temporary adjustments are necessary, or if you are looking for a coffee table in a non standard height. The design is very contemporary and unique – making for an interesting and stylish addition to your modern furniture or decor scheme. Find out more at Gallottti & Radice.

This past weekend, one of my absolute favorite furniture consignment shops,’ Again & Again,’ opened a new, improved, and HUGE location near the Dallas design district. ‘ Leslie Pritchard continues to expand her stores around the Dallas area, and I could not be happier that she is doing so! ‘ This lady is building a vintage furniture empire here…

Honestly, I wanted to take home everything with me, but didn’t think my fiancee would appreciate that so instead I snapped a few photos to share with you. Take a look at some of these amazing pieces!

I was really digging this tufted leather chair-very unique!

Leslie has a similar pair of chairs in her own home- sadly, these ones below are sold!

I stumbled upon these amazing acrylic bar stools that would look perfect with a reupholstered seat-

And speaking of acrylic, I found a coffee table that I almost died over (sadly it’s another one of those pieces that was already spoken for). ‘ The person who has this on hold, is one lucky little shopper-

You can never go wrong with a chrome shelf unit-

I fell in love with this bold pink lacquered buffet. ‘ Now whose home can I squeeze this gem in?

If you are worried your dining room doesn’t have enough personality, I have the table for you-

Brass coffee table- yes please!

A pair of sculptural table lamps-

And finally, an interesting acrylic pedestal and two funky bamboo stools-

I could go on and on about the rest of the treasures I found but I don’t want to spoil it for you! There is so much to see at their new location- plan to stay at least an hour like I did

On another note, if you find a piece you fall in love with but it is not quite the color or fabric you want, Again & Again will refinish, reupholster, and even rebuild the piece to create exactly what you are looking for. ‘ They just finished refinishing a console for one of my clients as well as building new legs for another client’s mirrored console.

Aside from refinishing, they also build custom furniture. The possibilities are endless!

{Dabney Lee Personalized Large Lucite Tray, $130}

Type of tray I am getting for my friend…hope this doesn’t ruin the surprise!

A friend of mine’s birthday is coming up, and I knew exactly what to get her. ‘ She is all about lucite, and I knew that a personalized lucite tray would make the perfect gift, especially since she just moved into a new home. ‘ Little did I know, however, that finding a gift for my friend consequently meant that I might be finding something for me as well! ‘ (Ok, ok, shopping for someone else has resulted on more than one occasion shopping for myself too). Has this ever happened to you????

I found the perfect tray on Layla Grace, a Pasadena based company that has literally EVERYTHING. ‘ While I’m not super into the whole monogram thing, lots of their furniture and other accessories really struck my fancy. ‘ Check out some of my picks that might be making their way into my clients’ homes very soon! Or…maybe mine

Imagine your very own secret garden – made possible with Celato’s Radici, a garden furniture set designed to be overrun by climbing plants, by De Castelli. Overrun by vines and plants or not, the garden set is quite artistic and includes many items like a gazebo, table, chairs, bench, barstool, candle holder and coffee table. But when overrun by plants, the effect is quite magical. The idea behind Radici furniture, which translates to ‘Roots’ in English, is to reinforce the connection between man and nature by making it feel like you are literally sitting among the plants and greenery; sitting with nature herself. Check out Celato’s De Castelli brand for more information.

This cool chaise lounge by Lebello is chic, yet casual – a perfect combination in high demand for outdoor living areas this season. The Circle Chaise Lounge is named for its distinctive shape – a circular main seat and backrest boasting a concave curvature, offering privacy and noise cancellation as you bask in the sun on the extended flatbed. Made of wicker – a material popular both for its looks and durability – the Circle Chaise Lounge will weather any storm and still look great for years to come. This cool lounger comes with an optional sunshade and arm table, or pair it with the matching coffee table – a dramatic duo. More details are available by visiting Lebello.

Making the rounds of real estate and design blogs last week, was the announcement that Paris Hilton’s former house is available for rent. ‘ The house, located on Kings Road in West Hollywood sold in 2007 for $3.8 million and is currently available to rent for $20,000 a month. The listing agent is Mauricio Umansky, husband of Paris’ aunt and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards.

In case you missed the visuals, here goes!

In this room, Paris is certainly the focal point. ‘ All very glam, mirrored and black & white. Accessories? A Fendi throw pillow and mirrored obelisks.

The dining room is bright and crisp in white with contrasting ebony wood floors, a mirrored dining table, and a crystal chandelier.

The entry foyer, high in black and white contrast complete with a zebra striped area rug to carry the theme.

Paris’s mirrored bed (as also seen in Emily’s recent post), accented in pretty shades of pale pink.

Step into Paris’ closet: a mirrored dresser and a glam chandelier make this the ultimate girly girl walk-in closet.

The private backyard has a poolside tented cabana and chaises decked out in black and white.

{Did anyone spy what looks to be a stripper pole in the center of the coffee table in the very first picture?}

We found a playful and fun coffee table design on IKEA Hackers and just had to share it. This Liatorp Coffee Table was initially purchased from IKEA and was modified so it could include an N scale model train set. Here is more information about the process from the designer: “I didn’t like the white so I painted about 95% of it black. Four coats of satin black furniture paint to be exact. After assembly, the only thing left to do is design the train layout. I used a program called AnyRail available at anyrail.com. Once the layout is set, it’s just a matter of purchasing the engines, cars and scenery that you like to complete the look. Since this was my first attempt, I spent a little more than I probably would have liked but I think it was worth it. It’s definitely a conversation piece and fun to look at.” We would have liked to know the name of the designer, so if you guys can help, please leave a comment below. Check out the video to see the trains in action!
