After chairs, lamps are our second favorite thing to collect. In fact, our basement is overflowing with all sorts of lamps we just couldn’t walk away from. On a recent trip to the New York Design Center @200 Lex, we stopped into the new 1st Dibs showroom. What did we find?! Some amazing lamps that we are probably going to dream about for the next week! 1st Dibs has so many great furniture pieces on display, but their selection of lamps was really what got us excited. Below, a pair of baby blue glass lamps by Vitosi on custom marble bases. Don’t forget you can buy all of these pieces online at 1stdibs.com.

Accessories like a great statement necklace or a printed scarf can amp up an outfit in much the same way as a couple of colorful pillows on a sofa. But finding unique and affordable accessories isn’t easy–that is until Boticca came around. Boticca.com scours the globe (its founders came up with the idea while shopping at a market in Marrakesh) for high quality pieces that you can’t find anywhere else. Take a look at some of our favorites from designers around the world!

It’s January, and even the most colorful rooms can start to look dull in the winter light. That’s probably why we’re drawn to rooms that use silver to glam things up all year round. In this room designed by Andrew Raquet featured in September 2010 House Beautiful, the elegant silvery Gracie wallpaper delivers that silver lining we’re talking about. Silver will always complement just about any color scheme- but it doesn’t have to sparkle and jump out at you. We like more subtle additions, like the ones below. We think silver, when it’s not in a monochromatic setting,  is at its best in rooms with jewel colors like violet, pink, yellow, orange and yellow.1. Jonathan Adler Nixon End Table. A new take on a popular trend for small drinks tables. 2. Celerie Kemble for Schumacher “Glimmer” fabric in color Mineral. Love it. 3. Chelsea Textiles Ltd. Bureau in Silver Lacquer. Wonderful lacquer finish. Look for them at the New York International Gift Fair next week. 4. Benjamin Moore silver lining #2119-60 Paint Color is recommended by House Beautiful magazine editors for painting wooden floors the perfect silvery gray. 5. Dransfield & Ross Vertical Key pillow in Natural/Silver- perfect combination of instant good taste, a silvery Greek key motif, 6.  West Elm Glass Jug Lamp at a price that can’t be beat. Check it out. – S.

We’ve recently started trolling eBay for some of our younger clients with smaller budgets and we’ve been really impressed with what’s out there. While most of the upholstered pieces need to be recovered, you can find some great deals. We decided to save all you busy people out there some time and do a sift-through of some of the best pieces on eBay right now. To avoid paying shipping, search by location so the pieces closest to your home come up first!  Anybody else like to buy furniture through eBay? Below are a pair of Hollywood Regency style ottomans at $300 for the pair. We’d love to reupholster these in a colorful graphic print or lux mohair.

Who said great art has to cost an arm and a leg? We’re always on the hunt for affordable art to put on our clients’ (and our) walls, and it’s often one of the hardest parts of designing a room. Let us introduce Zatista, our favorite new online resource that features emerging artists’ works starting at just $50. The abstract below is priced at $450. Serious gold mine!
