This woven rattan chandelier evokes memories of the palm frond ceiling fans of old Havana. Now all I need is a warm breeze wafting through gauze curtains, a beat-up paperback, and a mojito. Here’s to you, Hemingway.
What do you get when you combine a table tamp with ’70s retro appeal with a sheen of shimmery metallic finish? The Cindy Lamp from Kartell. I’m not sure if I love these lamps or am repulsed. I am drawn to their teardrop base shape and fun metallic chrome-like finish radiating an iridescent glow. I could see these paired with a minimalist room on an all black matte night stand that would make these babies pop. What do you think of these extremely shiny lamps?
This Cindy lamp by Kartell comes in three colors: Platinum, Bronze and Violet. $273 at Barneys New York.

(A motto for New Year’s Eve, and always.)
Hook these tubes under your sofa to make it glow like a small-town crunkmobile on Saturday night.
Fill the wolf’s mouth with red lights for Halloween. Otherwise, let it glow with white bulbs all year round.
Granted, what’s local for me probably isn’t local for you; but the Orlando-area shop Luxe & Liberty is deserving of your attention, even if you have to order online instead of popping in to pick out a few choice gifts. Organized around goods made in America, L&L stocks lines both little and big, from neighborhood artisans to well-known names like Calphalon, Amenity Home, and Pangea Organics. (See? I told you they were good.)
Here are my picks:
1. Skinny Fish Artisan Stationary–produced in small batches by artist Shawn Laughlin; 2. Leather Photo Album, in prismatic colors; 3. Kalender Platter, trimmed in platinum and gold; 4. Herb Bowl with Mezzaluna Chopper–one of those tools you didn’t even know you needed; 5. Endangered Parrots of the World Chess Set–prohibitively expensive, outrageously fun; 6. Crocus Rocks Glasses with 22K Accents–hello, hostess; 7. Chiller Pitcher with Lid–a closed carafe that will keep al fresco flies out; 8. Chick Chair; 9. Balustrade Napkins–round and round the table they go; 10. Aptos Collection Pebble Pendant; 11. Amber Dard Hunter Rose Thermometer & Clock–outdoor temperature gauges are so underrated; 12. Teco Art Pottery Orb Vase–lovely lines, from an exactingly reproduced historical collection.
