Faux Croc Everywhere

We're crazy for "Croc." From table lamps and rugs, to picture frames and handbags, the stamped leather look is hot this season. Our top pick? Bungalow 5's new Cayman Table Lamp, which is made of textured porcelain in a chocolate finish. We love the matching brown trimmed silk shade. $445








Arteriors introduces its unusually shaped Digby "Croc" Lamp, also made of textured porcelain, but this one features a black finish. $380


A wool and silk rug in chocolate and cream features an over-sized faux croc motif, $860 for 5"x8"


Espresso faux crocodile leather frames by Oly Studio. $65-$95


And who could resist a faux gator bag! The Scarlett handbag by Oly is $495

Hot Market Finds

We're back from New York Market, and can't wait to share some fresh, new finds in home fashion...like the Bubbles Mirror from Oly Studio (Above: $1750).

The Julian linen sofa from Bobo Intriguing Objects is made of 100% recycled materials and upholstered in soft and luxurious eco friendly Belgian linen. (Below: $5,500). It's super comfy, too!!



Pair it with "Bull," an oil painting on canvas, also from Bobo, or "Magnolia," a series of 3 panels, brand new from Longstreet Collection.





Bungalow 5's Lara Tea Table in smoke mirror is stunning in person; also available as a side table. Very glamorous.





A gray bone chest ($2,275), with an acid washed metallic cowhide ($695) adds real pizazz!





This reasonably priced horse art is great for a study or child's room. ($450 per)







And "Just Net," is a cool, rustic, low key ceiling light that's priced right at $325. Contact sales@tonichome.com for details on all items listed above.

Quick and easy design. Keep it simple with a punch of color. It works every time!

Splash into Summer!

From modern to traditional...there's nothing like a "cool" pool to jump start the summer season. Here are a few that make us want to dive right in...












After a long, cold winter, we could all use a few lazy days by the pool to lift our spirits. Below is mine, and where you'll find me most afternoons.


In honor of the season, check out "Pools," a hardcover book, which looks great on the coffee table and makes a great gift. Originally $75, now $55. Contact sales@tonichome.com to purchase.
