 Candlesticks are back!   Lumiere Candleholders  
More and more magazines are showing tapered candles in place of pillars.  I especially like the new CB2.com handblown Luminier clear beaker glass.  Currently on sale from $6.95 - $12.95.   Team with white candles and florals or show your colors.   As seen in July 2008 House Beautiful.

Put some POW in your powder room!
 
A great way to try something fun and out of the ordinary without committing yourself  in a main living area.  Have fun with a dark or intense wall color and carry it onto the ceiling.  Using the same color on the door and all trim will enhance the perceived size of the room.  Or, how about an oversized wall print.  Do a themed room.   Don't be afraid to experiment and have some fun.

Check out the new CB2!
 
CB2 is the more modern arm of Crate and Barrel.  I am totally impressed with the new lines and design center at the relatively new UTC Crate and Barrel shop.  With the reasonable prices and natural materials, you can afford to change your accessories with the seasons or set a different table for any occasion.
