Chalkcloth Runner: Love It or Hate It?
When I first saw this chalkcloth runner ($24-38) in the latest NapaStyle catalog, I immediately wanted one.

Love It or Hate It? Bold Stair Runner
I just watched the 1966 Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole film How to Steal a Million, which is chock-full of talking points when it comes to interior design. But the one thing that truly blew me away (aside from the armoire that leads to a secret staircase) was the purple staircase and banister in Hepburn's character's foyer.
