Nate the Great Conclusion

All good things must come to an end! 

Here's my conclusion to Nate's design picks for 2011 from my three part series :)

Item #4:       Lighting from the Mid Century

Concern:  What is mid century?  Is this 1950s?  He showed what looked like a garage sale basement black lamp. 

Love:  Katt Table Lamp by Bungalow Classic in Atlanta, feels retro funky yet not moldy

Item #5:  Rust/Orange – Home Accents

Concern:  I wanted to adjust my TV set, rust???  Nothing good ever comes from rust.  This supposedly a hot new color on the runways this Spring, god help us.

Love:  Here’s the best I could do and I’m leaning toward coral on this one.

Nate the Great 2011 Picks - continued. . .

Here is Item #2 and #3 from Nate the Great's list:


Nate's Pick #2:  Modern art paired with antiques or old photography
Concern:  Expense meets Concrete, cold edges and Andy Warhol

Love:  The Print Shop from UrbanOutfitters.  Prints start at just $25.00  Society6 is an International artist community representing more than 70 countries worldwide. We will continuously comb through their enormous archives to bring you this curated collection of our favorites.

Nate's Pick #3 - Storage art 

Concern:  Clutter fest disguised as design or as Nate says “Living really beautifully with what you own”....

Love:  Beachcomber baskets from Pottery Barn.  Beachy yet still cozy enough for a winter day by the fire
