And since the zebra print is a safer choices compared to other animal prints, here are two choices for an eye-catching pillow cover that will add a touch of african wilderness to your living room!

You Didn't Know You Needed: The Phantomenal III Lamp
I've always been fascinated by ghost stories; in fact, when I was younger I kept looking for ghost signs all around my house... And if, back then, I had found the Phantomental III Lamp somewhere in the living room I would have been convinced about their existence. The Phantomental defies the laws of physics and appears to be floating in midair. Created by the French design studio Guesner, it gives the illusion that it is
being held by some eerie spirit, but in reality, a metal stand that looks like a cord is responsible for its floating appearance! It can be yours for 499 euros from the company's online store! I'm already saving up for the white version!

Aerin Lauder's Manhattan Offices
posted on: Friday, 11 May 2012
Aerin Lauder, the style and image director of Estee Lauder, is moving beyond the family brand into her own product line, a variety of home and
fashion accessories, as well as beauty products. Though her new brand, Aerin, will be launching its first collection in a few weeks, Lauder’s offices are an urbane
expression of what the brand's style will be. Her offices in Mahnattan occupy a former eight-room art gallery and will eventually house about a dozen employee. In order to create a chic and beautiful working environment Lauder invited her favorite designer, Jacques Grange, to give to the space "an underlying
structure that’s clean and inviting...with colors
and fabrics and textures to make it look very personal, warm, and
elegant.” The result as you can see from the pages of Architectural Digest magazine is just that!
