Round Up: Nesting Tables
Olivia Star Lamps from Pottery Barn
We love lighting up our home for the holidays but are always on the lookout for options that don't remind us of our college dorms where Christmas lights stayed up all year long. Of all the holiday lanterns we've seen this season, these offerings from Pottery Barn are definitely our favorite.
Decorative Ice Buckets
Roundup
Formal ice buckets always take parties a good three steps above picking cubes out of trays with your fingers &mdash they even make three-buck Chuck glamorous. Sleek ice buckets are almost cliché, so we rounded up creative and whimsical ones for a less-serious bar.
Do You Have "Placeholder" Furniture?
In yesterday's house tour Michael & David's Modern Classic, readers did NOT like the IKEA bedside tables. Michael and David are looking for the perfect pieces, but the IKEA tables do the job for now. Do you have "placeholder" furniture that you'd like to replace? Take our survey below the jump.
Michael & David's Modern Classic
House Tour
Name: Michael & David, 2 dogs Spencer & Renee
Location: North Cleveland Park, Washington, DC
Size: 2,500 square feet
Years lived in: 2.5 years
You loved Michael Hampton's interior designs and watercolor paintings and now we're showing his North Cleveland Park house that he shares with David and their two dogs, Spencer and Renee. The older house has anachronisms that Michael and David wouldn't have chosen, but have learned to love.
Going Dark On The Ceiling
In Search of Round Baskets?
Good Questions
Q: Please help! I've been searching for baskets like these for months to no avail. In a small apt like mine (less than 300 sq feet), too many square edges makes the room feel boxed in. These would add a perfect soft round texture to the room. Any suggestions or a push in the right direction?

How Do You Celebrate When It's Just You … or Maybe Two?
I'm sure most of us have thought it at least once while the turkey was being carved. "Wouldn't it be great if I could spend one holiday without my crazy family?" But unless you've experienced flying solo for the holidays, you might be unsure about how you would handle the usual festivities.

Washington DC Scavenger
This Crate & Barrel Galerie bar cabinet has a little damage on the top, but for $50 it would definitely be worth trying to salvage the finish.
Sprucing Up Cold Weather Window Boxes
Eco-Inspired Design by Tammy Roy
The moment we stumbled upon the work of metal artist Tammy Roy, we fell in love with both her unique pieces and her eco-friendly design philosophy. Roy, who describes herself as "completely obsessed with reuse", takes scrap metal from salvage yards and dumpsters and transforms it into a selection of home accessories and occasional custom pieces.
Ornament Centerpiece by Crate & Barrel
You may be planning your Thanksgiving decorations, but I'm already mapping out my Christmas glitz. Here's one of my 2009 must-haves: a mini-version of Crate & Barrel's window ornament display. It's a genius way to display treasured ornaments, especially if your tree is overburdened &mdash or, if you don't have a tree at all.
