Leather in white

I confess: I often dream of living in a white home with white walls, white furniture trimmed with chrome and wood. Maybe you have these dreams too- a modern fantasy that is all about clean, spartan space. There’s a certain efficiency and an air of cool, calm and collected that comes in white environment.

I love leather and I love it on everything, so if I had a white home I would have more than a few white leather pieces like these:

Lanterns for November

Perfect for every season and occasion: white lanterns, $15 at Pier 1

I was a little sad this week boxing up my Halloween lanterns and I thought what better way to say goodbye to orange glowing pumpkin lights than with a replacement: pristine white lanterns, anyone?

There’s something about white lanterns that feels at once festive and comforting. It will also be a nice touch in your living room as the days shorten and these small orbs glow softly into the November evening.

Go garland or try a few medium-sized battery-operated paper lanterns (below). These will work like magic (and we especially love that there will be no trace of an electric cord).
