We’ve written about theseHook & Loomrugs in the past but hadn’t seen them in person — and were especially interested in how the colorful solid and striped versions might look in a living-room context. After ordering some samples (thered and yellow stripe, theblue and gray stripe, and the cushyloom-hooked style in orange), we think they’re basically the best option out there if you don’t want to spend \\$10,000,000 on something ancient and handwoven. Also, the undyed wool ones come in the mostappealingLauren Manoogian–style colorways and seem like superior sisal alternatives. We’re buying runners and living-room rugs both over here.\xa0

Senior editor Winnie Yang was, in her words, “looking for a little while for a console table to serve as a divider in our living room to create two separate seating areas” when she came across this one fromTeak. She’s very pleased with it, especially its ability to function as both console and desk. And “when fully extended to its dining configuration, it can seat six to eight extra people for dinner or brunch or whatever,” she says. Looks sort of like a folding version of our favorite dining-room table fromLichen.\xa0

A few months ago, Katy was looking for some oval Meg Ryan-in-the-’90s-ish glasses and couldn’t find a single pair. Then these fromMiu Miucame out and we started seeing them everywhere. (They’re half-priced now too). Of course, a conspicuouslysimilar pair has come out at Warby Parker, closing the loop.\xa0
