The Hollywood Regency design trend has been back with us for a minute, spearheaded by the likes of Jonathan Adler and Kelly Wearstler.  It is a luxurious look that features high shine and glam details.  While the original offshoot of Art Deco style worked around a palatte of blacks and creams, this recent revamp injects bright color.  One landing spot for this color is on faux bamboo pieces, such as the Jonathan Adler etagere shown here.

Last week I had a meeting in the Flatiron district and decided to check out Restoration Hardware while I was in the area.  In addition to having a store full of pieces that seemed totally out of scale to the surrouding dwellings (100"+ sofas?  In Manhattan?  Really?), I found several pieces of what I call "mass marketed antiques."  According to the catalogue, they are genuine salvaged items--iron weights, eyeglass molds, architectural items, etc.--which is why I refer to them as mass marketed and not mass produced.
