Designers Guild is an eye-popping bevy of furniture, linens, wallpaper, and drapery. It's really worth a visit just to see how marvelously creative people can be when given carte blanche to so. Everything on offer here is so, so, *so* finely-detailed and well-made and beautiful - it's design execution at its pinnacle. They carry the likes of Ralph Lauren Home and Jasper Conran - some designs of which are exclusive to the store. And they just recently launched their own line of fabrics and wallpapers under the name of "The Royal Collection." This line has supposedly been inspired by interiors found in the residences of the Royals - my goodness, it makes me want to see them!!!

The rug we chose was a glow in the dark space/planet kids rug and when it arrived it was true to the design and colour. It was perfect for his room and coordinated with everything very well!

No one can deny that Habitat is a place of good taste. You might deny it if you were a sultan or…read moresomething or one of those weird shirking consumer good types, but most people would agree Habitat rocks. I like this store because it has beautiful bedding and faux fur throws. I like this store because it doesn't abuse colour and has nice terra cotta robes. I like this store because it has two floors and sells a multicoloured owl (for 35.00?!). I like this store for the glasses, for the laid out rooms with lime paint ( and I hate Lime but it works here). I like Habitat for it's naff prints for your wall. I like it for rugs and bumpy sofas that are comfortable yet slightly ill fitting. Yes, I'll be richer one day and shop at Habitat. I'll live in West Hempstead and be raw and bleached regularly. Hope is alive.
