GiggleSugar recently traveled to Laos, where she snapped a ton of gorgeous photos of her hotel, surrounding homes, Buddhist temples, and bountiful gardens. Take a look at this slideshow of her pictures from Luang Prabong, named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. To take this tour, in GiggleSugar's own words, check out the slideshow.

The robin's egg blue of this China Blue Stool ($495) from Jayson Home and Garden has me thinking of Spring. It would be a colorful update to any room in your house, and a pair of these would look great as bedside tables in a chinoisierie -inspired bedroom. I'm imagining some DwellStudio bedding, a cool wall panel, and the Anthropologie chinoiserie bed in white.

Today marks the launch of the Jayson Home & Garden European Flea Market online. Thanks to the keen eyes over at Jayson, these rare finds — a mix of timeless European furniture and lighting, antique prints and oil paintings, gilded mirrors, hotel silverware, and more —have made their way from Europe and beyond to Chicago’s Lincoln Park. The market has been running locally there since April 18th, but that's no fun for non-Illinois folk, so I’m ecstatic to see it all just a click away in my browser.

It may be Love Shack Month, but I'd delight in gazing at this Jayson Home & Garden Echeveria Heart ($100) year round. Truth be told, if my valentine wanted to pick this sweet heart up for me this year, I would be happy to have it. Echeveria is a type of succulent which does well as a house plant.

Just a week after the fold of Metropolitan Home, I've got my hands on another city-centric design volume: Sue Hostetler's new book Majestic Metropolitan Living: Visionary Homes in the Heart of Cities. The shelter and design editor for magazines like Gotham, Hamptons, and LA Confidential, and the host of Plum Homes With Sue Hostetler on Plum TV (which "targets the most active, influential, and educated audience in the world"), Hostetler has tapped her cronies for tours of their unique and luxe urban dwellings.
The American dream of retiring to the pool and tennis courts in your countryside home is squashed by this book, which showcases a range of sprawling, real-life city homes.

Home gardens are all the rage, and if you have friends who grow their own produce, you probably end up eating a lot of it too. One downside to getting down and dirty in the garden is that you often have way too much of one thing (kale, anyone?) and not enough of another. Enter VeggieTrader, a new website that wants to help gardeners swap their surplus fruits and veggies for crops that might not have come up so well.
