In case you haven't noticed, I've had
Morocco on my mind all year long. I've never met a Moroccan-style furnishing I didn't like, and the
Wrapables Morocco Throw Pillow ($39, reduced from $52) is no exception. I love its vibrant medallion-patterned embroidery, and how the bright colors contrast boldly with the cream-colored background.

Hi Casa,
I have fallen deeply in love with a beautiful Madeline Weinrib rug,
The Brooke Chenille in Watermelon. The Tibetan pattern, the bright pink color . .

You know I've had
Morocco on my mind lately, and that I'm always on the lookout for
a good bargain. So, it's no wonder that
The Company Store Casablanca Side Table ($53) jumped off the page at me. I have a sneaking suspicion that the low price of this table could be explained by MDF material (that info is conveniently left out).

Browsing through
Kelly Wearstler's portfolio, I came across this image of a living room in a Santa Monica residence that she designed. While the traditional/Hollywood Regency style of the space is certainly elegant that's not the reason the photo caught my eye. The grayish-blue,
lattice-patterned rug was glaring back at me; it looked oddly familiar.

I recently
introduced you to one of my favorite blogs, My Marrakesh, about a family's quest to build an
eco chic boutique hotel, called Peacock Pavilions, in Marrakesh. As part of this quest, Maryam, the blogging girl, wanted her hotel's tables, Saarinen tables I might add, "to be, well, pretty." Instead of purchasing traditional round tablecloths or leaving the tables undressed, she
designed her own tablecloths, edged with handmade passementarie buttons, because she didn't want "to cover the graceful stems of the Saarinen tables." If that's not sheer brilliance, I don't know what is. One look at the table settings, and I'm already booking my flight, waiting to hear the words, "dinner is served."
