Crave Worthy: Brenda Houston's Agate Wood Root Table

I just got a sneak peek of some new lamps, tables, and jewelry that Texas-based designer Brenda Houston is debuting at the Architectural Digest Home Show, which kicks off today in New York — the words crave worthy don't even begin to describe her work! I'm completely head over heels in love with her natural wood root tables topped with slabs of polished agate. They're perfect parts organic, raw, and indulgent.

Assisted Living: Where to Find Affordable Mirrored Furniture

CasaSugar Community member SLDIZZ of the Assisted Living group is looking for some cheap ($250 or less) mirrored furniture (side tables/chests). "I am obsessed with some Horchow pieces," she says, like this Claudia Mirrored Chest ($719), but they are still way over her budget. SLDIZZ, you've come to the right place!

Desire/Acquire: Williams-Sonoma Home Andersen Wing Chair

Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member The City Girl from the Su Casa group: I LOVE Williams-Sonoma Home, and if I were a millionaire I'd happily choose staples from their collection for my home. Sadly, I'm not, so I tend to look at more lowbrow furniture sites when considering a new piece. Still, I do like to fantasize occasionally and view the Williams-Sonoma Home furniture, so imagine my surprise when I saw a chair that looked just like one I'd spied on a cheaper site the day before!

Shine On, Shine On

My latest love is this sideboard by Shine. With its Greek key legs, Baroque door embellishments, and perfect turquoise color, it's practically a Godsend. I don't even want to ask the price.

Mimi Chair

I'm totally swooning over this Mimi Chair ($1365) by Global Views. Its wooden frame is so unusual and that upholstery looks so comfortable. I found it available for $1320 at Fine Home Products, but sadly, it's still out of reach.

A Little Winter Luxury...

The animal activist inside me is screaming "No!" — but regardless, I'm absolutely in love with this sheepskin ($449, originally $899). It would be the perfect home accent when I'm cozy by the fireplace, so soft and plush.

If you could, would you spend $473 on Kelly Wearstler Blossom Pillow?

Kelly Wearstler's Blossom Pillow for SFERRA ($473) has gorgeous hand-embroidery and silk appliqué. But even if I had the money, I don't know that I'd ever spend $500 on a throw pillow. Would you?

A Girl Can Dream, Right?

I may not be dripping in diamonds today, but I've still got dreams, okay? So that's why I started this group . .
