I love to read catalogs – my mother reports that I was endlessly entertained by the old Sears and Roebuck catalog in my play pen!  And I get even more excited when I find a terrific new catalog in my mailbox!  This week I received the anniversary edition of the At West End catalog and found dozens of attractive accents for the home. 

This catalog has a rustic, handmade feeling, offering many well priced items created from recycled materials, like wood and tin, and imported from countries around the globe.  I am particularly drawn to the:

• Star Burst Fire Pit
• Vintage Architectural Iron Wall Hanging
• Pumpkin Parts – These tin “pumpkin parts” turn an ordinary pumpkin into an adorable witch, cat, or turkey for the upcoming Fall holidays. 
• Glass Hurricanes – This set of three bubble glass hurricanes with iron candle holders hanging from the rim allow you to fill the bottom portions with seasonal accessories! 

• Giant Recycled Silverware – My favorite item without a doubt is this set of giant recycled silverware! Rustic and whimsical, this knife and fork set measures 8” x 48” and can be hung on the wall or propped against it! You can add instant character to any décor with these pieces for only $89!

Take look at Atwestend.com and see if you agree with me that this is a unique and fun decorating resource!

A refreshing new home furnishings catalog appeared in my mailbox this week!  It’s called Brocade Home and features indoor and outdoor furniture, curtains, decorative accessories and the like.  What distinguishes this catalog from the others I receive are the clean lines and clever details of every item.  The look is crisp and fresh, with inspired color combinations that feel new, but not modern.  Look for traditional brocade patterns, but done in crisp lime, icy blue, and silvery gray paired with white.  Many furniture pieces have whimsical touches and great hardware.  Take a look at brocadehome.com today!
