A suitable substitute? And a couple lust-worthy pieces...

I am in LOVE, LOVE, LOVE with these:


However, at $150 Each, they're way more than I'm willing to spend at the moment (although I've been lusting over aluminum side tables like these for about a year now). I recently found these on Ebay, and I think they might be a reasonable replacement:


The picture is kinda craptastic, but I like that I get a similar shape, but with a bit of a Morroccan feel. Another bonus: Only $130 for the pair. Thoughts?

Now on to some little beauties:

Lust me! This little beauty is a steal (as long as no one drives up the price), and would look amazing sitting on top of a stack of books, on a console table, as a centerpiece...

Lust me! I see this painted orange, hung on my turquoise wall. I'm talking BRIGHT orange.

I think I'm in lust...

Lust me!

This first item might be a bit of an aquired taste, but I find myself obsessed with all things lucite at the moment...lucite tables, lucite lamps, lucite chairs, lucite couches...

Lust me!

For our next drool-worthy piece, we have a wonderful lime green side table/magazine holder. Functional, colorful, and fun. What more could a girl want?

Lust me!

Credit for my craving for this beauty must go to http://www.isuwanee.com/ for posting a similar find. I can see this against my turquoise wall, placed asymmetrically over a desk, as a focal point for my bird wall...

Lust me!

Reminiscent of all things Anthropologie, how could I not fall instantly, irrevocably in lust?? I think I need it - I'll buy it, and find somewhere for it in my parents' house, and then one day, when I have my own ginormous house, I'll place it in a spotlight of honor.

Lust me!



Oh, beautiful blue Hollywood Regency bench, how you tease me so! I can picture you sitting prettily against my wall, peering coquettishly at me with those deep blue dimples.
