I'm warning you — if you've never clicked over to CuffHome to check out the shop's offerings, your Pinterest board is about to get a workout.  A fluffy ottoman with tiny gold feet peeking out, a 70s-inspired channel chair, a chain-wrapped ball lamp, a sleek blue velvet sofa, a rope-wrapped chandelier... although these glamorous yet organic, sensuous yet industrial pieces are rooted in a vintage aesthetic, they're completely modern.

What I Love About My Small Home:

Winters make the place a cozy little cave, and summers without AC give us a reason to spend more time outdoors. Plus, we never have to walk further than three steps to find what we need!

Branch chandelier by Lindsey Adelman for The Future Perfect. 

Velvet (and gold!) chair by Jonathan Adler. 

The elegant new stereo console by Symbol Audio connects to a record player or Bluetooth-enabled device. Plus there's a place to store your records!

A midcentury-inspired chair, with a little twist. By UK designer Yinka Ilori. 

Spotted at the Wilsonart booth: this chair by University of Oregon student Katie Lee, covered with tiny pieces of laminate attached to canvas.
