cb2 newbies

1

my new cb2 catalog came in the mail yesterday and i was loving some of the new pieces. always modern, fun and clean, cb2’s selection stays true to crate and barrel’s look, but with a more contemporary twist.

2

i’m always drawn to smaller, accessory-style pieces, but i was really pleased with their new “true low dresser” ($450) in shiny white lacquer. it’s the kind of piece i’ve been looking for, although slighly above my budget. with four drawers and one cabinet compartment for extras, it’s a great place to stash clothes or other accessories like shoes and delicates.

5

the smart side table in bright orange stole my heart immediately. ac will tell you- i’m a sucker for bright orange. something about that cute little table in such a bright, happy color is too, too perfect. they’re $100 a pop right here.

4

if something stylish and inexpensive if what you’re looking for, check out these adorable pebble salt and pepper shakers- an instant hit. oh! and the lumiere candle holders combine fun shapes with a very do-able pricepoint. $4-$5 a piece!

3

last but not least, don’t miss the white bed tray for $29.95- perfect for sunday mornings spent in bed…you can browse cb2’s new pieces and entire existing collection right here. enjoy- there’s a lot to see!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the candleholders page. I am opening a store in Montreal this spring and have been looking for an innovative way to display jewelry and accessories. That little glass hanging votive holder will be perfect for a small hanging grouping! Lit properly with beautiful jewelry inside, it will make an AMAZING display.

I’m loving that little orange table as well. It is such a nice little burst of color and happiness!! I also really like that line of white glossy dressers, I’m thinking the bedside table is the perfect shape and size. The salt and pepper shakers are drool-worthy, plus super affordable!

Is inhabit doing a special line for CB2 or did they just blatanly rip inhabit off?

That is the very reason I will not but anything from West Elm. They ripp off too many designers and try to pass that stuff off as their own. >(

I had those pebble salt and pepper shakers in ‘pebble’ color on a recent Cathay Pacific flight and I actually did a double take because I didn’t see the holes. I couldn’t figure out why they put these two “pebbles” on my table… Fortunately I resisted the urge to pocket them! How gauche would that have been??

no the design in the catlog is by inhabit. cb2 has the catalog exclusive.
