Lucite Lust for Less

After my Lovely Lucite post from yesterday, I thought I'd follow up with a Lust for Less on the topic. I don't know if you've ever come accross Iomoi, but you are definitely missing out if you haven't!
I have wanted one of their Lucite trays for the longest time.



 I would love this pattern (perhaps I'm drawn to the Auburn colors??...):



Do you see how BOTH sides are decorated?! I love that!
It's so hard to pick just one! I also like these patterns:

Sure you can get a Lucite tray that won't break the bank but these are handmade and come in the most delicious patterns. There are 3 sizes to choose from and you can pick clear lucite or tortoise lucite. Prices range from $100 up to $995.

Good thing there is this Dabney Lee tray!

Although there are not nearly as many patterns to select from, you can customize your tray and there are mutliple styles of monograms and name plates to choose from.
The tray measures 11"x17" (the middle Iomoi size) for just $130 and is available all over.
Try The Well Appointed House or Rock Paper Scissors

UPDATE:
PS - If you just want the tray without the pretty design at the bottom, try CB2 for only $34.95!

Lovely Lucite

If I had to describe my personal style I would say it is: Mostly classic. Traditional with a touch of contemporary. A little galmour. Sophisticated. Trendy but also timeless. Clean Lines. Coordinated but not matchy-matchy. Somewhat unexpected. Whatever terms I use to describe my style, I wouldn't ever call it "modern". BUT, I do like to throw in a modern piece of furniture or accent here and there. One thing that does the trick is LUCITE and it has hit the design world full force.

Who doesn't love a Ghost chair (or two)??

I was introduced to Ghost chairs years ago in the wedding business. Everyone either has ghost chairs or chivari chairs at their events these days, but what I'd really love to do at an event is the Lucite Chivari chairs - the best of both worlds! Can you imagine how good these chairs would look in a color-washed room?

When it comes to home decorating, here are just a few of my favorite uses of this lovely lucite:

This lucite coffee table is an unexpected addition to this otherwise contemporary traditional sitting room.

 This version, the peekaboo coffee table, is available at CB2 for a reasonable $249

I love Lonny and I love this trunk used here as a coffee table.

I always love to have coffee table books on display but they take up so much space!

What a great (but expensive) solution - (nearly $3000!)

Luckily, Plexi-Craft has a very close alternative for $377.

 

This desk is gorgeous:

And I have to say these barstools are pure genius.

They are a feature in the room but don't take away from the beauty of the kitchen.

PS - I definitely want these Capiz drum shades (from Oly Studio) too!

So, now you know what I think of Lucite...any thoughts from the peanut gallery?
