- On Wednesday, I went to the grand opening of West Elm {Pottery Barn’s more modern and slightly less-expensive sister} in Emeryville {next to Ikea}. It was totally worth the trip, because the store was beautiful! Every piece was modern-but-comfortable, and had touches of fun: glass butterflies hanging from the ceiling, suspended candles, and herb gardens spanning an entire dining table. It was definitely a place for inspiration. Upon entering the store, I hardly made it two feet before I fell in love with their Walton Sectional Sofa. It was comfortable and modern {I have no tolerance for ‘puckered’ couches or rounded arms}. Until Sunday, they are drawing names to win $500 gift cards, and since you have to believe to win - I’ll be getting my phone call sometime this afternoon.
Here are the pieces I enjoyed the most:
Walton Sectional sofa { Straight lines AND comfortable. }
Ceramic Solstice Hurricanes { I don’t normally like using candles in decorating, but these are a fun way to add texture. }
Parsons Desk with Drawers {Laquered is ‘in’… }
bond desk, small { I’m a sucker for mid-century furniture. I love the angles of this piece. }
poufs { I love it when ‘cool’ is comfy! }
curved upholstered chair { The softness of the fabric on these chairs is unreal. If I had to do my dining room all over… }
spine wood bookcase { I don’t have many ‘pretty’ books, but some wrapped in paper would look great on this shelf. Sometimes bookshelves look ’stuffy’ to me, but this one is definitely not. }

That store looks like so much fun! From your description it reminds me of Crate and Barrel’s store, C2. Next time you want to head out there, let me know and I’ll come with you. I hope you win the gift card, you would use it well!
