Over the holidays, I was in Colorado and despite the snowstorms, I was able to make it to Composition. This is a great modern design store in the newish Belmar shopping district, just west of Denver...

From yesterday's House Tour: Giulia's 'Fantasy Girl' Formula, here's the Cosco Chair with Step Stool as seen in Guilia's kitchen. This one's in a soft, buttery yellow, but you'll also see them in whi...
Serve and be served. This Wine Carafe With Glass by Claudio Colucci is a wine carafe and glass in one. It's all handblown from a single piece of glass, and no two of these are alike. We love the "sh...

They range from rustic to industrial to exotic. When we were searching recently for a farmhouse dining table, we turned to Country Home and Comfort on W22nd. Though they don't have a website, the st...
