tott, that's lovely! But how about decorating a place like that yourself? you have great taste anyway and you'll save a lot

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, San Serif][SIZE=-1]Kara Mann, a Chicago-based interior designer, top right, is bringing some of her favorite furniture designers to her hometown with a new showroom opening next week. The 4,000-square-foot showroom will be the first in the United States to carry the work of Jimmie Martin, a London company that makes punk-inspired pieces like the silver-leaf crucifix-encrusted bureau ($6,500), right. Ms. Mann will also carry the company’s English library chair ($4,500), top right, and its Word dining table ($6,000) and dining chair ($2,000), as well as pieces by BDDW, Ochre and Blackman Cruz.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, San Serif][SIZE=-1]Each piece of Nymphenburg’s Hidden Wealth dinnerware, designed by Khashayar Naimanan in a signed, limited-edition set, has a hand-painted pattern on the bottom and the manufacturer’s mark on top. On an ordinary table, the pattern would be hidden. But the set is sold only with a glass-top steel table by Mr. Naimanan, with a mirror beneath the serving surface, so everyone can see the pattern. The dinnerware comes in sets of 6 or 12 place settings — with the table — starting at $52,000. Store locations: (312) 421-3500.

^^America really doesn't have any big brands I can think of.
We really do look up to European designers.

Some Portuguese brands that you cant take pics of...

www.analobo.pt

www.luisapeixotodesign.com

www.brancosobrebranco.com

Luisa Peixoto and Brancosobrebraco always attend to Maison&Object
Luisa have a great design but the images in the site lose a lot, Brancosobrebranco are more classic, Ana Lobo it's a mix of both...

 

[Hanne]

homeboy you need to credi the pictures you posted

 

[ilaughead]

Jany, you Dutch people always make the coolest things ever!

hi! I'm a noob to this thread My bf and I just moved into a new condo and we're in the market for some bedding. Can anyone recommend some good ones? I was looking at the Fendi croc print sheets, or maybe Pratesi. We just want something quality that feels good.

I actually know a bunch of great bedding places in Massachusetts but that probably won't be of much help to you

Pratesi is supposed to be very good--definitely high end in terms of bedding.

this is interesting....

'celeste'
by Belgian designer Kris Van den Berghe

"Celeste is a sky" says Belgian designer Kris Van den Berghe. In fact, you can project images of the sky, day or night, onto the canopy to get the full celestial effect. But it's also surprisingly functional, as it can also be used as a separator to create privacy and as a screen for your projection TV. It's made of a white extensible material that can be dismantled and washed. Celeste was a graduation project at Katholieke Hogeschool Mechelen's school of architecture.

very cool! I don't think you need to get a brand name (like pratesi or any of the designer home collections) to get great high quality sheets. Anything above 800 thread count will be really luxurious.

I don't know if anyone here watched the english show 'location, location, location' but they were viewing this home in Hove (right next to brighton in the UK) and it has the most amazing bathroom. The part the two sinks were on was on a platform and there were small spotlights in the platform to illuminate the floor. And it had the original 1920's freestanding bath that the people who owned the house had re-enameled. it was beautiful.
