After seeing photos hung along a stairway in last week's The Way We Live, a reader requested more examples of this win/win decorating trend. Take a look at these 7 images and get ideas on creating your own stairway to family 'haven'.
Do you have a photo wall? If yes, my readers and I would love to see it. Send your images to debra@cocoonhome.com. Many thanks!!
Pom poms seem to be popping up on everything from bedspreads to lampshades. I must confess I'm liking it. If the whimsical detailing is not overdone, pom poms can add a playful touch to any room. Take a look at few of my favorite 'pom pommed' items:

Our kids have become enamored with the Polaroid camera that recently resurfaced as a result of our move. As my husband and I showed our children how to use it, we were reminded of many past Polaroid moments we treasured as a family. I love that our children will get to experience the excitement and anticipation of taking a Polaroid picture. Nowadays, with photographs rarely printed and images often photoshopped to unattainable perfection, the graininess of a Polaroid photo is a visual treat reflecting a brief moment in time.
I wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving replete with many unforgettable Polaroid moments!
Ever since I placed an agate ashtray that's been in my husband's family for years on our coffee table (as a decorative object), I've been mildly obsessed with the stone. Its beautifully variegated colors and patterns are known to attract strength, protect from stress and ward off bad dreams. Take a look at some of the ways you can adorn your home and yourself with this beautiful gemstone.
I can't seem to get these items off my mind and for good reason. Take a look:
1. Sesame noodles for this weekend's menu.
2. A cozy vintage Moroccan runner (on our house wish list).
2. Anthropologie's suede moccasin wedges; this Fall's go-to shoe.
4. A sexy club chair (another item on the wish list).
5. An all beige room . It works because of the mix of textures in neutral shades.
6. An ice bucket for our new bar.
Are you obsessing over anything at the moment?
