Home Decorators Side Tables

Home Decorators collections is knocking it out of the park with their side tables these days.



I first spotted this new drum table over at Aesthetic Oiseau, and when I went to check things out, I was pleased by a few other choices.

Macau table in Pumpkin




Lavello table in yellow





Pawn accent table in Brown





The Piao Stool




I'm reminded of a number of classics (and "new" classics), but at a fraction of the price.  Observe:

Eames Walnut stool,  $800 and change


dwr.com

Brigitte Oval Table, Bungalow 5, $400 plus



available here

Moroccan Key Table, $371



And Spool Stool, $305


House Eclectic

Pawn Stool by Gus Modern, $395



here

Ah, well, you get the idea.  While the Home Decorator's drum table is $229, the others are all under $200, with most at $129.  Not a bad deal!  And they all come in lots of colors.  Go check them all out (and more), right here.

Home Decorators knocks off DWR

Just got the April catalog from Home Decorators Collection, and man are they knocking off DWR! Of course, I have no idea what the quality is like, but here are three seemingly excellent deals.

Bertoia chrome side chair with black seat pad (shown here in green and white): $648

Home Decorators James Wire Seating Side Chair: $99

Phillipe Starck for Emeco Kong Chair: $1275 side, $1385 arm

HDC Samantha: $99 side, $129 arm (for some reason, this one is in the catalog, but not online, hence the crappy scan.)

Emeco 1006 Navy Side Chair- brushed aluminum: $440

HDC Sandra Side Chair: $119

So if you're in the market for some chrome or aluminum design classics, now might be the time!

Sliding Scale: Galvanized Garden Chairs

I remember first falling in love with the "1934" chair many years ago, in the Sundance catalog (which I inexplicably received at frequent intervals). Over the years, they seemed to pop up now and again, and while I never actually had a place to use them, I felt awfully tempted when they showed up in a Home Decorators Collection catalog for just $99 each. Now, they're officially everywhere: all the major retailers seem to offer their own version. I thought I'd round 'em up, just in case you're interested. (Plus, I think they'd look awesome in my aunt's kitchen; this way, she doesn't need to do the research.)

From most expensive to least:

Design Within Reach, Marais Chair, $250

Sundance, 1934 Chair, $245

Pottery Barn Tolix Cafe Chair, $225 (currently on special for $199)

Crate and Barrel Lyle Chair, $199

Home Decorator's Collection Garden Side Chair, $99

Overstock.com, Silver Tabouret Stacking Chair, $197.99 for a set of 4 (today's price!)

Some of these come in other fun colors, but I still love the classic aluminum. So. Did I miss any? I bet there are more out there....And I'm still partial to the original Sundance version. What's your favorite?
