The Demilune Table {Five Easy Pieces}

In five days, I've shared my "Five Easy Pieces"--items that enhance any space with minimal effort and even less consideration. They all work, and they just work almost anywhere.

My fifth and last item, the demilune table, is as versatile, transitional and functional as any piece of furniture in a home. And you probably won't believe this, but while composing this post, I took a thrifting break yesterday afternoon and discovered a demilune table for my house! Is that fate or what?

The Louis Philippe Mirror {Five Easy Pieces}

What would a list of must-have decorating pieces be without a mirror? Not a very good list, I tell you. 

My "Five Easy Pieces" list would be incomplete without the addition of the Louis Philippe mirror, an item with style effortless and uncomplicated enough to work in both living room and bathroom, both in dining room and kitchen.

The Rush Log Basket {Five Easy Pieces}

So far this week I've shared a few of my favorite practical-meets-classic decor elements in my series "Five Easy Pieces" and I hope you've enjoyed it! I've gotten a kick out of compiling images of "pieces in situ", seeing just how common some of these items really are.

Today, I continue with a piece that I have in my own home, one that is as functional as it is attractive: the rush log basket. Do you own one (or twelve)?

The Thebes Stool {Five Easy Pieces}

Are you ready for the next chapter in my "Five Easy Pieces" series? Yesterday was spent learning about and extolling the virtues of the bell jar lantern (which many of you also love!) while today I'll focus on a versatile little piece of furniture: the Thebes stool.

The Bell Jar Lantern {Five Easy Pieces}

Happy Monday, friends! How have you been?

Lately, I've been building a list of classic pieces that--in almost any type of room and in the midst of any style--add something special and have proved to be timeless items worth the investment. These pieces never require too much finagling or effort to work in a space; they're just easy.

That's why all this week, I'm highlighting my favorite classic decorative items in a series I'm calling "Five Easy Pieces". Today it's all about the bell jar lantern.
