The Age of McLuxury - a story untold by Edith Wharton


The spectrum of luxury absolutely runs the gamut from A to Z. For some a bed would be considered luxury, to others only this Tree Bed designed by Shawn Lovell would suffice.

Luxury is, as defined by Merriam-Webster, something adding to pleasure or comfort but not absolutely necessary. Here are a just a few items that I'd consider a luxury:


The Cocoon lamp by McGuire


Practically perfect equestrian decanter by Steuben



The only chair that I'd ever sit in! 18th century bergere by Sulpice Brizard, offered through the great 1stdibs



And, the Pagoda Etagere, which I've been drooling over for years! Made by Baker
