Pottery Barn Purchase

When I get a new Pottery Barn catalog, I love to see what's new.  But, somehow, I always want the items that aren't for sale.  See that big bowl with the hurricane inside?  The hurricane is for sale, but not the fabulous big bowl.  I need to do more large impact accessorizing.  
I LOVE the wonderful stack of old suitcases!  I have two.  It's going to take awhile. 
I found a fabulous big wine bottle not too long ago.  But a Mercury Glass wine bottle?  LOVE IT! Does anybody ever look at mirrors in photographs to see if all the photography equipment shows up?  I know, I'm strange.  They usually to a great job of cleaning up the photo.  They've obviously thought of that.  
You can see this much better in the catalog, but on the mantle is a HUGE platter.  At least that's what it looks like.  Where do they find these things?

What a fantastic idea this chalkboard globe is.  I suppose someone just painted a globe with chalkboard paint and then drew on the continents.  Very fun!
Today I went looking for a new table lamp and came home with this lovely one.  Unfortunately, you can't see the base.  I bought the lampshade below which looks much better than the one they show it with.  
Pottery Barn, you make my day.

  2. I love Pottery Barn too! And, yes, I always look for reflections of the camera equipment too. lol I love that hurricane in the pottery. I may have to do that! I love the lampshade choice you made. I imagine it looks a lot better than the white one. So many cool things! I'm always finding things in stores and catalogs like that...stuff I want that's not for sale!

  5. this is so awesome, i love the chalkboard globe. i chalkboard-painted a small globe...but it take so much to make a room that fantabulous; i also only have two suitcases for my collection so far. And I ALSO wonder how photogrpahers edit out the reflection of their photo in mirrors etc....(but only as it occurs to me)
    the lamp shades do indeed rock.
