Erosion can be a force to be reckoned with, we can try to prevent it, but in this case let it slide.  The Erosion sink is the signature sink by Gore Design Co.  It is made with concrete, and it really looks as if a pool of water has etched and formed sinking profiles overtime leading to the drain.  The interesting texture formed by light on the “levels of wear” are fascinating.Gore Design Co. is a vanguard artisan studio specializing in custom concrete surfaces and interiors.

I just love the swirls of lights that burst from this accent light fixture! Each Moonstruck Light is unique. The light inside the balls casts a light / shadow pattern on the surrounding walls and ceiling.

This 9” diameter magical light is hand-made, constructed of glazed and stylishly perforated porcelain.

Cut-Glass Mirror

Have you ever watched an adventure movie where someone suggests a crazy idea to get out of a sticky situation and the hero turns and says “That’s just wild enough that it just might work”, well, I had the same feeling when I looked at this wildly glass-emblazoned mirror.  The symmetry gives balance to the intricacy of the mirrored pieces, and at 25.5” in diameter, this round mirror is just bold enough, that it just might work on that accent wall or front foyer to make a impacting first glance.  So much better than a boring single-edge wood-framed mirror, and just how great would it look on a dark bronze wall?

It seems like Scrabble has found a new fan with Facebook users playing virtual games that can span continents and in my case, several weeks!  I do love a hands-on game though, especially when played on the Scrabble Premier Edition from Hasbro.  This beautiful mahogany finished game board featuring  a golden raised grid, lazy-susan spinning capabilities and built-in drawer is even on Oprah’s Favorite Things List.

 embossed crocodile wall covering wall paper

Can you think of a more sumptuous wall covering than a crocodile patterned wall covering in chocolate cognac? The super trendy and fabulous pattern that is crocodile graces this bedroom in a predatorily dominant way, what a punchy texture!  Since the embossed vinyl pattern is smaller, it does camouflage in the room nicely, adding a subtle city vibe.  The tumbled polyurethane produces great depth and reality, it can be used for wallcoverings or as upholstery, it is also fire rated and 54″ wide.  If you like the look of Crocodile, check out Torley’s embossed leather floor tiles!
