I am playing catch up this week and am completely bogged down between work and personal life so I’ll resume with new posts next week. I have some Fall fashion picks lined up and some guest posts –  so stay tuned! In the meantime, check out this new Ikat tile from Ravenna Mosaics. How gorgeous would it be as an accent wall?

{Antelopes and Gazelles and Rams} oh my! http://thisisluster.com/2010/10/14/antelopes-and-gazelles-and-rams-oh-my/ http://thisisluster.com/2010/10/14/antelopes-and-gazelles-and-rams-oh-my/#comments Thu, 14 Oct 2010 05:00:24 +0000 Luster http://thisisluster.com/?p=967534063

I’ve got running animals with horns on my mind after seeing this coffee table shown above, which caught my eye a few years ago and I forgot about it until it popped up again in the new issue of Lonny. From the little information available, it seems to be a 70′s reproduction of an original Art Deco piece and is used quite a bit in current Hollywood Regency decor. While trying to hunt it down around the web, I came across these other pretty pieces with antelopes, gazelles and rams.

Sitting here, I contemplate how I could dress the space up a bit and make it a little easier to spend time here. It is desperately needing a grown-up makeover, and if money was of no concern, here are some of my dream picks.

{Clockwise left to right:}  horse lamps, horn pencil cup, butterfly chair, aerin lauder’s home office with z desk by gabriella crespi, lacquer boxes, crocodile laptop case, z desk, malachite paperweight

A pretty office can only get you so far, you still need some essentials to get your work done. Here are some of my everyday office accessories that keep me happy, organized, and efficient.

{Clockwise left to right}: marvy’s le pen, field notes books, mini binder with several options for paper and calenders to add, file folders, crystal pencils, document and file folder boxes

{Tauk} in Montauk, NY http://thisisluster.com/2010/07/16/820591335/ http://thisisluster.com/2010/07/16/820591335/#comments Fri, 16 Jul 2010 20:06:00 +0000 Luster http://designluster.tumblr.com/post/820591335

i finally got the chance to visit tauk in montauk while visiting the east end last month. best friends/former models marylynn and staci founded tauk with their combined interest in home decor & accessories. nestled among t-shirt tourist shops, lies their breezy shop oozing with modern beachcomber style. their knack for pairing beautiful objects amongst textiles and original artwork makes for some truly stunning displays. this woven towel is a perfect summer accessory. use it for a beach picnic or as a sarong with its terry lined interior. tauk also collaborates on interior design projects with select clientele.
