While I LOVE designers like Jonathan Adler and Ruthie Sommers, I also love getting a great bargain. We bought a sofa, 2 low stools and two fireplace ceramic dogs this weekend at a great local store - Dwell Floor Five in Studio City.

These ceramic whippets flank our fireplace. I think our real dog is slightly concerned he's been replaced.

We also bought 2 of these ceramic black stools with a fab caning pattern. They will live under our entry console table and come out when we need extra seating in the living room.
The sofa is being made custom with a lux velvety pewter fabric - when it comes in 2 short weeks I'll post the pictures!
The house is coming together, slowly but surely :)
