Home Candle Scents August 16th, 2011 By Staci Diane
We love shopping for home candle scents because there is always a new fragrance to discover. When choosing a scented candle for your home, consider which room you will be using the candle, and the mood you want to set. Our favorites lean towards bold floral scents to the crisp aroma of citrus. Remember to keep wicks trimmed to about 1/4″ to keep it from smoking (unsightly black cloud) and for maximum burn.

The Nesting Spot: Pretty Mirrors March 12th, 2010 By Jasmine
Having recently moved into a new apartment, I’ve been on the prowl for some pretty things to decorate the living room. Mirrors have always been a necessity for me when it comes to decor. Whether you’re trying to make a small space appear larger or trying to add an elegant decorative touch to a hallway, a mirror is the perfect solution. Doing a quick search under the home decor section on beso.com gave me more than 3,000 results on mirrors! Here are a few of my favorite mirrors from beso:
If you love the mid-century/retro look, this Sunlight Mirror from Horchow is a great statement piece. It even has a built in light so you can brighten up any dark walls with a bit of sunshine.
How cute is this next mirror? It’s the Antiqued Birdcage Mirror from Ballard Designs. This is a great piece to add a bit of that rustic, vintage feel to any home. Plus, I can’t resist the little birds resting on the metal birdcage.
This Shell Mirror from Country Curtains has me thinking about shabby chic, beach-house decor. I love the scalloped edges; they remind me of a dainty white doily.
Mirrors can also make a bold statement piece, like this Edward Floor Mirror from Neiman Marcus. It’s oversized antique frame gives it an elegant finish, and it’d be perfect near the front door so you can take a quick, full length look at yourself before you’re out the door.
The Nesting Spot: Jonathan Adler January 21st, 2010 By Arianna
I’ve been a big fan of Jonathan Adler and his colorful, chic, retro designs for years, so I’m uber excited to find him on beso. Adler developed a love for pottery at a young age and after dabbling in the movie business for a few years back in the early ’90s, found his way back to designing amazing home décor. Shop his collections of everything from pottery and pillows to furniture and fun little handcrafted tchotchkes.
I’m personally obsessed with Adler’s groovy Ojai dinnerware collection. Each piece is adorned with a Japanese reactive glaze that results in an intoxicating depth of color and richness. Of course, the available colors just happen to be my favorite scheme: orange, yellow, and green. I’m the type that prefers to mix and match pieces so that each of my guests’ place settings include a variety of bold color. Did I mention that the entire collection is on sale for up to 60% off?! Snag your very own complete set or maybe accent your existing table service with a fun serving tray for just $19.20.
I was ecstatic when Johnathan Adler was chosen to design the real-life Barbie Malibu Dream House last year, but oh so disappointed that the house wasn’t available for public viewing. Good thing his collections are widely available so I can create my own dream house. I’m loving the ‘design your own’ feature and can’t wait to see those fabulous throw pillows on my couch. Unleash your inner Adler and create your own custom pillows and rugs from a variety of his designs and color palettes.
In my opinion, no home is complete without at least one irreverent tchotchke. Add a touch of humor to any room with a banana bud vase, squirrel candleholder, or adorable dachshund bookends. Of course, if you prefer a more sophisticated style, Adler’s Versailles collection might be a little more suitable for your home. Regardless, with the variety of pieces available from this incredibly talented designer, you’re sure to find something for everyone.
