Barring a sudden windfall, these picks aren't likely to be adorning my cramped living quarters anytime soon. But a girl can dream, can't she?
I’m eyeing the midcentury gilded-bronze cockatoo bookends ($225) at Josephine & Debudda to give my dime-store novels a little upmarket flair (3420 22nd St., 415-641-4300).
A bathroom bedecked with green Argyle tiles from Heath Ceramics’ hand-glazed Tapestry collection is like bathing in the middle of a Japanese bamboo forest (400 Gate 5 Road, Sausalito, 415-332-3732).
When words fail you, seek solace in the lambswool Blah Blah cushion ($90) by British designer Donna Wilson. Available at Eden & Eden (560 Jackson St., 415-983-0490).
If you’re going to splurge on Pratesi sheets, scenting them with lavender is a logical next step. Try the Jo Malone Lino nel Vento Scent Surround spray ($55). Available at Saks Fifth Avenue, (384 Post St., 415-986-4300).
The gigantic solar-powered garden center at the new Flora Grubb Gardens satisfies my botanical cravings (1634 Jerrold Ave., 415-626-7256).
I love the delicate, lacy rim of the Hering Berlin porcelain perforated Dome base bowl ($276; pictured above). Available at Rose and Radish (460 Gough St., 415-864-4988).
I could use a black lacquer wall-mounted candelabra from Katherine Johnstone’s new line of refurbished vintage furniture for use in my…ummm…dungeon. Available at Mixed Use (463 Union St., 415-956-1909).
