I've become a little obsessed with the Life archives, which were recently added to Google Images. If you're not careful, you too could be pulled into hours of poring over images from America's past. This image, of Joan Wilson whipping up something yummy in her stylish circle skirt, was taken in 1950.

Holidays are on my mind lately, as is the perfect table setting. I love seeing family and friends gathered around a gorgeous table; nothing says "holiday" to me the way that a perfectly set table does.
So, for the latest
What You're Wanting, I want to know how you'd furnish, accessorize, and style a holiday table.

For the latest what you're wanting, I asked you how you'd furnish, accessorize, and style an outdoor dining room for Adrian Brody and Spanish girlfriend Elsa Pataky's stone castle-like house in upstate New York. The house is stunning, so I'm sure a basic picnic in the grass would still be glamorous, but
AudreyStar really took the challenge and ran with it. So she wins the Sugar swag of her choice as a reward!

As I recently
shared with you, Adrian Brody and Spanish girlfriend Elsa Pataky are putting down roots in a stone castle-like house in upstate New York. The photos, which were splashed across the pages of Hello!, are pretty over the top with the lovey-dovey behavior between the two, but the building itself is fascinating.
While
Giorgio Armani apparently designed the interiors, I figure that no castle is truly complete without a fit-for-a-king outdoor dining area.

I love Peggy Olsen, the junior copywriter on
Mad Men. She's tough as nails, fascinatingly complex, and a genuinely good person. While I have some hope for her personal fashion changing a bit since she's been hanging out with openly gay and Euro copywriter Kurt (he made a vast improvement to her hair), I'm not so sure if I'm so hopeful for her apartment.

When the LA Times recently ran pictures of the Pickfair Mansion, which was often frequented by luminaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joan Crawford, Albert Einstein, and Amelia Earhart, I was particularly taken with the grandeur of the foyer. So, for this latest
What You're Wanting, I asked how you'd decorate this glamorous entry.

The LA Times recently ran pictures of the Pickfair Estate, which was originally owned by silent film actors Mary Pickford and her husband Douglas Fairbanks. This grand estate used to host parties frequented by luminaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Joan Crawford, Albert Einstein, and Amelia Earhart.

When
Danny Seo gave us a peek into his new home, I was taken with this flea-market art find. So, for this latest
What You're Wanting, I asked you to decorate a room to complement this elephant art.
This week, you provided me with lots of inspiration for how to use art in unexpected places — including in the bathroom.

When
Danny Seo gave us a peek into his new home, I was taken with this flea market art find. Who doesn't love elephants? As you can see, Danny hadn't gotten around to hanging this print.
