nice house
Settling in for the winter and spending more time at home means realizing those blinding halogen lamps and mass-produced eyesores must go the way of discarded gift-wrappings and dried-out pine trees. With the space cleared, it's time to pay a visit to Michael Doneff's tiny West Village treasure trove, Nice House. It offers a mix of vintage and modern pick-me-ups that are guaranteed to warm your abode with more personality than particle board.

This former publicist has an eye for the up-and-coming as well as an appreciation for all things antique. His 1940s glass boudoir lamps mingle with pleated cumulus lights that give off a cloud-like glow. Then again, you can accessorize with crafty telephone wire bowls from Zimbabwe or a stunning turqouise makeup tray that would turn Holly Golightly green.
