Lovely Sofia

Target just introduced this Hollywood Regency style black-and-white rug.

It's called the "Sofia" and starts at only $59.99 for the smallest size. Although the biggest version (8-by-10 feet) costs $799, it's a much cheaper option than installing new carpet in a room!

My new crush

Wisteria sale

Many interior designers love to add an Asian decor element in the home. The ethnic piece, particularly in red, is unexpected and chic in just about any decor.

Unfortunately, we can't all afford a Chinese armoire. But most of us can invest in Wisteria's "Snappy Red Cabinet" that's on sale for only $219.

That's a 33-percent savings from its original price. Click here to check it out.

CB2 vs. Ikea, you be the judge

Is it just me, or does CB2's new Halogen credenza look just like Ikea's longstanding Torsby sideboard? (CB2's is on the top, Ikea's is on the bottom.)

While flipping through the new CB2 catalog this weekend I was shocked when I saw the resemblance. I happen to own the Torsby, maybe that's why I noticed.

Either way, they are both great pieces. The slick white finish, easy-to-slide drawers and convenient hole in back make them the perfect flat screen stand or dining room buffet.

Just for the record though, the Ikea version is the better deal at $299. The CB2 credenza will put you back $499.

Vase time

One of my best friends and mom both say a favorite gift they've received is a set of bud vases.

I know they mean it because any time I visit their homes, the vases are usually out with pretty store bought stems or something sweet from the garden.

So, in their honor, I've posted these collections from Red Envelope that I think are totally their style. The first is a set of three contemporary cubes for $32; the second is six jewel-tone vases for $40.

Talk about the perfect hostess gift. Click here to check them out.
