Ten Great Red Things
Red is my favorite color. So, I’m celebrating red today with 10 beautiful red things. Let’s go!
1. This toss pillow reminds me of the sand and the surf, and makes me happy. It’s called Mibo, is made of cotton and is now on sale for $55 at 2 Jane.
2. Isn’t this the coolest pendant light ever? Well, maybe I’m getting a bit too excited, but I like it, okay? This lamp is called Campari because it’s made from Campari bottles. How original! Ingo Maurer designed it and you can find it at Form+Function for only $375, which is a very good price.
3. I think this is the only red table I’ve seen in a while. I’ve seen it everywhere – meaning in magazines. So, I guess I’m not the only red lover out there. It’s called Strut, was designed by Blu Dot and retails for $1,099 at Hive Modern.
4. I adore Maharam’s fabrics. I could swim in their wools, they’re so appealing. Here’s a duo of gorgeous red choices from subsidiary, Kvadrat. The first is called Heaven Scent. Isn’t this beautiful? You have to say, “Yes!”
5. But this is a beautiful, lacy sheer called Nectar. Wouldn’t this make a beautiful blouse?
6. Who could resist a red Ektorp sofa from IKEA? It costs $549, which appeals to the cheapskate in me. I own an Ektorp and it’s more comfortable than you’d expect for the price. Plus, because it’s so inexpensive, you won’t feel guilty tossing it once it’s seen better days.
7. Does too much red make you see spots? If so, you know they’ll be green ones. And that means it’s Christmas! Go open your presents. In this case you’re getting this Kivet Rug by Marimekko. You can kind it at Finn Style where it retails for only $99!
8. Who can resist a Tomato Fig? This yummy toss pillow is from Hable Construction and retails for $168.
9. I love this tray. I like the grain showing through the red paint. I actually must buy this tray. You can find it at Clio. It’s made by Urbana Design and retails for $165.
10. Finally, the best red accessory of all – a red lipstick. This one is Chanel, but any brand will do. I’m actually partial to Trish McEvoy. Nothing brightens a face up like a beautiful red lip (and it makes your teeth look whiter, too).
And that’s it! What’s your favorite color? Send me a photo of your favorite thing in your favorite color. When I get a good collection, I’ll post them.
