When we moved into our current apartment four years ago, we had no semblance of home styling. It truly was a hodge-podge of furniture from post-college and singledom. Admittedly, I should have invested more time in our decor, but other things took precedence. My intention is to redeem myself in our new home--starting with a few touches of lucite {the hard clear acrylic material which makes the goodness below possible!}.

{cv} isn't biting for something like a lucite coffee table, but I might be able to convince him I need the vapor chair for my home office. Time will tell ;) The good news is that I can incorporate this rockin' material without investing a true arm and a leg. The honest truth is that I want something more on the timeless end of design, so picking something much more modern may not feel right in the long run.
Have you taken the clear plunge? If you've fallen in love with lucite, share your stories here!
Though it does have a certain modern flair, I love how it can act as the perfect bridge from old to new. For more of the inspiration behind this post, take a peek at my virtual apartment inspiration board or my latest Houzz ideabook! Have a marvelous Wednesday, friends! xoxo {av}
I may never get over the lucite trend. It's too gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI've been dreaming of having a lucite chair for forever now, they are just so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love those bracelet/jewelry storage pieces! I'm thinking I need them for my upcoming move!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that makes me apprehensive about the chairs is I always wonder what it looks like when someone is sitting in them (someone being me.) If I'm sitting at my computer and someone walks up behind be, is the first thing they're seeing my butt weirdly squished in this plastic chair? These are the important questions that come to me. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the tissue holder! I have a lucite white wine chiller/holder. Put a chilled bottle of white wine in and it stays chilled for hours. Great for picnics, traveling, or just a fancy dinner party!!
ReplyDeleteWe have lucite dining chairs from Ikea (and love them), but I've been pining for the CB2 coffee table for a while now... especially because I love our rug and I feel as though our current $20 Ikea coffee table obscures it too much. So fun to be decorating a new apartment!
ReplyDeletei like lucite but i'm not sure i could do a big piece in it. i'm thinking i might need a stapler or tape dispenser for my office though.
ReplyDeletethe lucite bracelet holders are great! the whole lucite look is a little more modern than my usual taste but I think little bits of lucite can be incorporated into any style really!

ReplyDeleteOne of us has two of the lucite bracelet stands from The Container Store... they are life-changing for any fellow OCD-lover and accessory enthusiast!
ReplyDeleteI haven't bought a piece for my house yet, but I am loving the look!
