Alex's Style Pick: Lucite for All Budgets

The Coolest Plastic Around (Besides Your AmEx)

I'm obsessed with today's style pick because it's one of the most versatile I've chosen yet. Perhaps a bit ahead of its time, Lucite (aka: Plexiglas) was an acrylic resin first exhibited at the 1939 World's Fair. Like all trends, the material came in and out of fashion throughout the years, but it's now chicer than ever. And the trend is here to stay. Past and present designers who ... Read More

I've tried to keep the price point down ... in fact ... Read More

Although a lot of you want real estate news, some of you also want the latest in fashion and home décor so I thought this was a fun way to incorporate everyday style into Bungalux. My second first is this: My style this week is influenced by my nail polish. I ... Read More

Katerina Tana

Textiles, Tile, and More

Every once in a while I stumble upon something that’s good for the environment and for the house. Last year it was the Fisker Karma car (I just saw one yesterday on the street in Los Angeles and am as obsessed as I was then), the West Elm baskets, and many et ceteras. My latest wonderful find are Katerina Tana's textiles and, now, tile. I was introduced to Katerina through a Bungalux reader ... Read More

Trend from Runway to Home: Splashes of Bright Color

Technicolor Real Estate

In honor of the recent Fashion Weeks, we’re bringing you our latest installment of Runway to Home. In perusing Fashion Week photos there were a few resounding themes, but one of our favorites was bright colors. We touched on this a couple weeks ago with our article on Mark and Ali Pincus’s house, but we had quite a few people say they were intimidated by “all that color,” so we thought we’d ... Read More

Surf's Up (On Your Wall)

Vintage Surfboards as Decor

There’s nothing sexier than a surfer. That tan. Those muscles. That sun-kissed blond hair. That … Wait, we’ve digressed. What were we supposed to be talking about? Oh, that’s right: The surfboard. If your days of sex wax are behind you, if you upgraded boards, or if you plain never surfed to begin with but want people to think you did, we have the perfect way for you to show off that longboard ...
