It was a little bit darker than usual this morning, so I turned on my Hammered Silver Table Lamp that sits on the Chocolate Walnut Cube Table next to my bed. I stepped onto my oh-so-soft Wool Felt Rug and wrapped myself up in my Big Wool Knit Blanket and headed downstairs. Excited to spend some time transitioning my home from summer to autumn today, I grabbed a cup of coffee, picked up my laptop and headed to the dining room table where all my creative endeavors take place. Logging into pfeiferstudio.com, I prepare myself for a most unique online shopping trip around the globe.

Pfeifer Studio Shopping List:
- Russian Olive Stump Table
- Solid Wood Cache Box
- Orlando Wool Throw
- Kantha Quilt
- Goat Hide Footstool
- Sheepskin Pillows

Since the time we spend outside is much more limited during the cold season, I thought it would be a nice touch to bring the outdoors in. First stop, Pfeifer’s home page where I spot the Russian Olive Stump Table I can’t live without. Raw with burls and an eco-friendly non-toxic topcoat finish, each Russian Olive Stump Table is completely unique from the other and full of character. This will be a perfect side table in the sunroom where we face our wooded back yard.

Next stop, “New Arrivals” where I spot the Solid Wood Cache Box. An organic storage box created from a solid slice of teak wood, the lid twists off to reveal a hidden storage space within. I love this for our music room, where I’ll trade out my Chinese red wedding bowl for the Cache Box to keep our keys, guitar picks, and miscellaneous change in.

OK, now for some color. Though autumn brings shorter days and cooler weather, it offers beautiful colored trees and crisp sunny days…and great opportunity for fabulous wool throws. Clicking on the “Blankets and Throws” category, I am immediately drawn to the Orlando Wool Throw, a luxurious wool throw in red, burgundy and gold with 5 inch fringe, woven in New Zealand from natural 'Stansborough Grey' wool. This will definitely join the Russian Olive Stump Table in the sunroom. Remembering a blog posting about these one-of-a-kind kantha quilts from India that just arrived into the shop, I call Customer Support at 1-866-804-1909 to inquire about purchasing a quilt. AJ, the owner, offers to email me pictures of various kanthas from the shop…oh I can’t wait!

Last stop, I visit “PFEIFER TRENDS” and the “Animal Instinct” category. I love mixing fashion trends with home, and no fall transition could be complete without something animal-related. So, I choose two things that are a must for my home, the ever-so-popular Goat Hide Footstool, perfect for the music room sitting area, and a pair of Sheepskin Pillows, one in jet black and the other in chestnut brown to throw on the entryway settee.

With just a couple of clicks my order is on its way to Pfeifer Studio. With free shipping, I’m so excited for my goods to arrive. Transitioning from summer to autumn is going to be a breeze, and I can’t believe I made it from Chicago, to India, to New Zealand, New Mexico, and back home again from the comfort of my dining room table with a steamy cup of coffee.
