NEW Porcelain Pearl Lamps from Williams-Sonoma Home

How to Use them: I love this new glazed porcelain lamp from WS Home (check out the acrylic base, too!). I wish they also offered it in butter yellow (my favorite color), or, better yet- Orange (everyone knows I'm going through an orange phase). This would make a great bedside lamp for a monochromatic room that needs a subtle shot of color. Equally lovely options would include placement in the Living Room, Family Room or Foyer.
How to get them: Williams-Sonoma Home
Retail Price: $495

Marquetry Tray by Williams Sonoma Home

How to use it: Use a tray as both an accessory and an organizational tool just about anywhere. Read this post for ideas. (As a side note, marquetry is a decorative veneer made up of shaped pieces of wood in different colors that are pieced together to form a pattern or picture. ) This tray is made of mahogany, maple and cherry wood- gorgeous!

Williams-Sonoma Home Lyre Side Table

How to use it:
-As pictured, this side table is perfect for just that- a side table! Position next to a sofa or a cozy reading chair.
-As an alternative to a traditional nightstand with drawers, this could serve as a bedside table- possibly in a guest bedroom where there is less to store by the bedside.
-This table could also be used as an elegant telephone message center or a side table for personal photos and a lovely flower arrangement in the boudoir.
How to get it: This table is from Williams-Sonoma Home as an internet/catalog exclusive (order online or through catalog)
Retail Price: $950

Williams-Sonoma Home Crystal Accent Lamps

How to use it: These lamps are so classic and versatile- they can literally be used anywhere in the house! I would love to see a crystal lamp in the living room, study, on the entry table, in the boudoir or even in a nursery. This would be a great statement lamp for a desk in the corner office, too. Tip: get a colored lampshade (I especially love black!) or have a plain shade covered with a textile to match or compliment drapery or wall covering.
How to get it: Shop Williams-Sonoma Home online or via catalog. Call select retail locations for in store availability.
Retail Price:$795/set of three. $275 each. Shade not included.
