By now we assume that West Elm is a staple store in your never-ending quest to create the perfect nest. We too are consistently impressed with their one of a kind products and felt their latest collaboration with the local NYC design team, Patch NYC, deserved a shout-out.

Together they created a wonderfully witty collection of pillows, ceramic tableware, and prints that have a homemade charm and sophistication you don’t normally associate with big box retail. I personally love the metallic letterpress renderings and pure white ceramic plates adorned with flowers, birds, butterflies and turtles! Hang the prints where your guests will see them and then give them a feast for their eyes as well as their bellies on the ceramic service-ware.

We also recommend checking out the designers own website patchnyc.com for a cool collection of scarves, pillows, and jewelry.  We had never heard of them until now but we are so glad to add them to our collection of resources for all things fabulous and fun!

Inspired by the glittering votives of one of the oldest cathedrals in Verona, Italy, the Illuminare collection (pictured below) was my first Rosanna purchase. Twelve of them, in varying sizes, are scattered on a large Moroccan tray in the middle of my dining room table and, as promised, they look absolutely enchanting. In fact, everything on the site has a magical quality and with new collections added each season, there is never a lack of options.

That being said, and probably inspired by (read: jealous of) Lo’s recent trip to Paris, I’ve become obsessed with the Dauphine Candlesticks. Who wouldn’t want to invoke the infamous style of Marie Antoinette in their own home? The “Initially Yours” collection is also something I am hoping to add to my own collection. If this were 3 years ago, I would have put this site and 12 of these beautifully initialed, oversized mugs on my wedding registry. Good news for any of the newly engaged ladies reading…Rosanna Inc. has a gift registry! Yet another website that I wish I knew about before I got married!
