Without further ado, here's Tina with the things she's been lovin' lately.
When Sarah asked me to participate in her guest blog series I was thrilled. She has fabulous taste, is wonderfully talented (have you checked out her DIYs?), and I actually know her in real life. It is so inspiring to live within driving distance of someone who shares similar interests, and perspectives. I so hope we have the opportunity to meet up on a frequent basis. She posed the sometimes confounding question, “What have you been loving, lately?”
I love a multitude of things, but when I’m put on the spot, I find it difficult to actually commit. I get bogged down trying to determine if said item is actually “list worthy”. But I have assembled a grouping of seven items that are in my opinion drool worthy, and would work beautifully in my home.

First is this amazing white pendant light, the Can Can, a brand new release by Flos (if you’ve read my blog you know my obsession with Flos lighting) and designed by Marcel Wanders. The clear scrolls I can imagine leave a brilliant shadow, and if you’re brave enough you can even choose them in hot pink.
I cannot get enough of the Horse Head Bookends by Spisani. I love lucite as if it were my fourth child, and the addition of the bold tortoise horses is beyond amazing. Check out the others available, as there are a multitude of different animals available and they are all divine.
Jonathan Adler, every time you release a new piece of furniture I want to order it immediately. Case in point the Ulu Concave Table in polished brass. Yes please. I have no idea where I would put it, but I know that I indeed love it.
Obviously I’m having a fixation on everything gold and brass, as evidenced by this grouping of items. These brass pot stands by the Japanese company Futagami have been on my wish list for a very long time. Perhaps it is because I only own two trivets presently. One, the last remaining of a pack of three cork trivets from Ikea that I believe cost five dollars when I purchased them at least fifteen years ago. The other a lovely specimen from the 1970’s that we unearthed from a drawer in our old house (left by the previous owners). Obviously, I desperately need these gorgeous brass trivets.
I actually own a Cire Trudon candle, and I’m crazy for it. I’ve burnt it halfway down and now I refuse to light it, so it won’t run out. The scent is Carmelite which in all honestly smells like an old, damp, mossy church. Weird, but entirely fabulous. A few more of these in a variety of scents are at the top of my Christmas wishlist.
A Madeline Weinrib box in an ikat print, really there is not much more to say. Other than, can you send along a rug with it as well. Seriously though, I want to start collecting boxes and I believe this would be a wonderful start to my collection.
Last but not least this gorgeous skull tapestry cushion by Alexander McQueen for the Rug Company. I’m not a morbid type but his skull print just resonates with me. McQueen’s brilliance will long be remembered.
