Olivia Gregory's Lollypop furniture line is available from Le Tramac in London. Her Louis XV furniture is covered in mod, madcap, colorful PVC high-gloss upholstery. Handy; you can hose everything down after a wild party.

Modern Mural is a complete custom art source for your home or office. Browse for art in their huge online database, choose your style (the one pictured above is three 12 x 40 inch rectangles), create a portfolio of options (great if you're a designer who needs to show a particular client a number of options), then finalize. Reasonably priced, and everything's shipped to you ready to hang.

It's Independence Day, July 4th weekend, and we have some red, white, and blue favorites to share with you. First up, Patricia Urquiola's fab Fjord Relax Armchair from Moroso Spa (below) is an industrial triumph.  Also check out our tribute to Ms. Urquiola in the Designer We Love column.

The Heartland Classic Cooking Center (below) is a real corker. And, yes, it comes in other colors.
