A Striking Settee!

We've gotten rave reviews from our blogger friends about the dhurrie-upholstered settee. It's just the right size and such a striking design. While you're waiting for yours to arrive, take a look at what the bloggers are saying about:

On Design*Sponge!
"It's a bold pattern explosion . . ."

On Lindsay Covets
"I just know we're meant to be together."

The House that Lars Built
"How lovely is black and white? LOVELY, I say."

Geraniums and Potatoes

Thanks, Blogger Friends!

Help the Gulf Coast

Thursday, July 8, 2010

Much of our inspiration comes from the sea. So, you can imagine how sad we felt when we heard about the Gulf Coast disaster. We wanted to do something for the communities affected by this. From July 8 to 14, purchase anything from our special coastal category, and we will donate 15% of that purchase to the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund.

The fund helps support communities most affected by the oil spill. For more info, visit www.gnof.org.
