I’m Paige Wassel. WAS the Newsletter is your weekly dose of design inspiration, where my opinion SOMETIMES matters.

I asked, you delivered. And then I delivered back.

You all sent me items, things, furniture, decor you’re thinking of buying for your home, and here I am, to tell you what to do. Sometimes you just need someone to make the decision for you, ya know? You don’t have time for these decisions! I mean, well, neither do I…but here we are.

I do love a modular sofa, however, this feels like it should have one more back piece to it. So unless you have a small space and this fits perfectly. Otherwise, I would pass. 

Yes! Love this piece and could be used really anywhere. Entry, bedroom, hallway, etc. 

I vote no. Again, unless you have a very specific space that this needs to fit in, I do think the wood might be cheap. Photography feels Wayfair…which means, not great quality. 

I would vote no. The wood feels reclaimed. Very farmhouse. A no for me. 

While this table is unique and the red wood is fun, I am not a huge fan of the shape. Feels like Rugrats…idk why but it dooooo.

Yes! You can never go wrong with teak. It never goes out of style. 

This chair is so close to being good. I think the tufting throws me off. 

I’m kinda into this lamp. Idk if I would personally have in my home, but I would definitely be giving you a compliment if it was in yours. 

I do love Ikea but there are definitely better shelving units available from here. Again, the wood feels a bit cheap to me. I would pass and maybe find something in acrylic if you are sticking with Ikea. I try to avoid wood from Ikea in general. 

While I am into an aesthetic trash bin. I really don’t love having to take the lid off. I do prefer a little step peddle to open it. There are cute ones on the market with that feature too. 

I love that this is aged brass and not cheap gold. This is a classic faucet. I do prefer chrome in kitchen and bathrooms as it is never a trend, its a staple. I also don't love 2 knobs to adjust cold and hot. It's a bit annoying…IMO!!! 

No thank you! Slanted legs and arms are ehhhh. Also, feels a bit cheap.

I like!! You can never go wrong with a little lamp like this. 

INTO THIS. The plaid. The shape. Feels good for guests. Snag it! 

Will end here. This thing is SWEET. Idk where I would put it in my house but you should get it!

xx,

Paige
