From Janet:
Wisteria’s Woven Wire Nesting Trays would work well as holiday-gift vessels, filled with fruit or cookies, for instance; $24.48 for the pair at Wisteria (down from $34).

From Julie & Janet:
One of our favorite countertop surfaces is CaesarStone, comprised of 93 percent quartz and possessing superior stain, scratch, and heat resistant properties. We especially like Blizzard White with a honed surface (rather than polished), which requires a bit more upkeep but offers a more natural sheen. Available in a range of colors, in two finishes (honed or polished), and a choice of edge configurations; go to CaesarStone for dealer information.

From Sarah:
We love Washington, DC-based designer Darryl Carter’s work; in particular, his own 19th-century Virginia farmhouse, which is a perfectly restrained mix of simple, clean-lined elements with period American antiques. Carter is a genius at juxtaposing the rough with the refined. Photos via pointclickhome
