When scouting for a client, I always try to look in unexpected places. Recently I was searching for bedding and I stumbled upon two great finds, both on linen/bedding sites. Isn’t it fun when you find a gem in an unexpected place?

I love The Company Store, their sheets are fabulous and always in really fun colors. Wait one minute, what do I see as I am flipping through their catalog pages? These absolutely fabulous Urbino ottomans!! They are so fun, I especially like the turquoise option. The embroidered medallion on top creates a unique accent. I see this ottoman as a lovely addition in a bedroom, perhaps next to a vanity, or as spare seating for guests in a Living Room! They have a very distinct Moroccan feel, which we’re seeing all over the magazines right now.

This next find is one of my favorites. The sleek Metropolitan Table gives a great retro feel to an otherwise ordinary table! It has an ebony finished glass top which seems to just jump off the surface, and the double nickel legs compliment the octagon shape nicely. All this from Linen Source? Who knew!!

Do you look at certain stores for items other than the ones they advertise? Do you have a secret catalog or website with great finds? It’s always the hidden treasures that get the most compliments, after all!
