A bookshelf, with a light that turns off when the book you were reading is laid on top. Genius, just like the mother of your children.
(Maybe if you’re nice, she’ll hook up your side of the bed for Father’s Day.)
West Elm has sales all the time; I try to check out the discounted merch every couple of weeks, and generally avoid the “HUGE SALE” e-mails that arrive in my inbox, because inevitably all the good stuff is already gone.
Here’s what I’m ogling today:
1. Wood Wedges (honestly, these ledges couldn’t look more adorable in a kid’s room, and for $9.99, you can get them in multiples); 2. Lutz & Patmos Zigzag Throw (these are yummy soft, and worth stashing in the closet for next year’s holiday gifts); 3. Uneven Squares Quilt and Shams (simplicity at its best, made even better at 50% off); 4. Quilted Wingback Headboard (if you sleep in a California King–lucky!–this regal bed is a steal); 5. Upholstered Bed Frame and Headboard (for the rest of us plebes, this headboard comes in smaller sizes and still ups the nighttime reading comfy factor); 6. Rope Candleholders (just look at them…do they need commentary?); 7. Wall-Mount Pendant (I love how these make a grand statement, for $69.99); 8. Abaca Pendant Lamp (summer, at 82% off); 9. Square Metal Sofa; 10. Water Hyacinth Pillows (I dare you to show me a house these wouldn’t look great it); 11. Beach Club Floral Print Pillow (as a rule, I buy anything that has “beach club” in its name); 12. Sydney Bar (I’m totally putting this inside my house, but I live in Florida, so hopefully all will be forgiven).
As of this post’s publication, some version of the above items was in stock, although it probably won’t be for long.
Nothing titillates me more than tossing back a demurely made bed, only to find something naughty underneath. Like these sheets: made of tumbled 200 thread count cotton, their happy skulls and tattooed bird prints tucked under a patchwork quilt subvert traditional notions of guest space. Isn’t that right, Mom?
