[The Dappered Space]( is a series designed to help guys apply the sense of personal style they’ve developed to the space they inhabit. Watch for articles on furniture and decor sales & picks, advice on how to style a room or work space, and tackling creating a space that reflects your own (and perhaps a significant other’s) personal tastes. We’ll suggest items that can be sourced online, but always keep in mind that deals can be found at consignment and thrift stores, local stores with floor models, discount stores, and even yard sales. You know what’s nice sometimes? Finding everything you need in one place. In this series we’re going to create thoughtfully curated rooms that reflect the styles you find on this site, but each time we’re going to try to stick to just one store. Why? So if you really want to do a full room makeover, you’ll hopefully receive all items around the same time, and even better, qualify for free shipping. Plus, returns will be easier. For this O.R.O.S., we’re focusing on the Stone & Beam in-house brand from Uncle Jeff’s Internet Emporium, a.k.a. Amazon. Stone and Beam is definitely priced above what you’d find at Target, but priced below what you’d find at West Elm. Considering reviews, it sounds like Amazon has a little bit of work to do perfecting their furniture game, but there are still plenty of items that customers are happy with. And unless you’re willing to spend A LOT of money on custom, high-end furniture, there might always be something small to complain about. [Dappered Space one room one store stone and beam] The Bed: [Prudence Tufted Queen Bed in Lagoon – $899](. As of writing this, the queen size of this bed in the Lagoon color is $899, the king size is… $3,164.94. I do believe the emporium is having an algorithm error, especially since all other colors are priced at $999 for the king. Those darn robots can go rogue with their pricing formulas sometimes. A tufted backboard is a classic, refined look. If you prefer something more rustic, there’s [this](, or even [this](. The Bedding: [Waffle Texture Duvet Set in Navy – $126.81]( & [Tencel Sheet Set in White – $72.15](. I’d recommend keeping your bedding simple, and adding pillows, art, even a cool rug to spice things up. If you keep the large things neutral, they can always act as a canvas, or backdrop, to build a particular look around. The Pillows: [Woven Nook Decorative Throw Pillow Covers (set of 4) – $29.95]( & [4 Pack of Inserts – $27.99](. I’m not recommending any Amazon house brand pillows, simply because you can get a lot more bang for your buck just buying covers and inserts. One house brand pillow is between $30-$40. And while dropping cash on a really nice, well constructed unique pillow isn’t a bad thing, I think it should be [a pillow you really love](, and that’s totally subjective. The Dresser & Nightstands: [Rivet West Dark Oak Dresser – $799]( & [Nightstand – $249](. I switched house brands here. Why? Because the Stone and Beam dresser that would work in this room I’m putting together got annihilated in the reviews. There is a common refrain in the reviews on furniture pieces with drawers: Amazon still has work to do. But these particular pieces from house brand Rivet, by and large, have positive reviews. The Rug: [8′ x 10′ Casual Plaid Area Rug – $240.90](. If your bedroom has a hard floor, and you want to add something that’ll be softer to step on, and warmer once cold temperatures eventually role back around, a rug will do just that. This one has a plaid pattern with subdued splashes of color. If plaid isn’t your style, [you have options](. The Lamp(s): [Round Ceramic Table Lamp in Burnt Orange – $63.04](. Since we’ve got some orange in the rug, why not have a little fun and reflect it in your nightstand lamps as well? If orange is not your thing, the lamp comes in two other colors that will still work here, although they’re a bit more expensive. The Wall Decor: [Round Mesh Hanging Shelf – $83.78]( & [Wood Quadrant Hanging Mirror – $40.50]( & [Be Silly Word Art – $39.43](. A grouping on a wall is always a safe bet. It can create balance and fill out awkward blank space. These three things will work well together. And the word art is a good reminder of what a lot of us could use more of right now. The Armchair: [Leila Tufted Velvet Oversized Accent Chair in Hunter Green – $699](. If you have the space in your bedroom for a corner chair, it’s a nice addition for putting on shoes, reading, or meditating. Plus the green on this chair makes a great decorative statement.

Got a tip on something that deserves to end up in the monthly Most Wanted? Send those in to joe@dappered.com [Seiko 5 Sports Automatic – $200ish]( Yes, the old SKX line is more robust. No this one doesn’t have a screw down crown. But it hacks, it hand winds, that script “Automatic” looks terrific, and the bracelet is allegedly the real deal. They really nailed all the style points for a robust looking dive style watch. [Full review here.]( Could be a terrific summer companion. Usually goes for around $200 at Macy’s with their various codes and promos. [Nordstrom 1901 Chambray Sport Coat – $149]( Looks like it’d be perfect for the heat. Wear with white jeans or chinos with a white dress shirt for a bright summertime super simple look, or throw it over a polo with some saturated chinos for something easier but still contemporary. [Campari & Soda](  Speaking of the heat. Campari is kinda the perfect summertime booze. It’s super flavorful, and relatively low alcohol, so simply by adding soda water to it (I prefer mine on the rocks) you’re in business… without getting blotto. And then there’s [the Americano]( or [Negroni](. For those who want to skip booze completely? [Lyre’s Italian Orange Non-Alcoholic spirit]( is a weirdly faithful ethanol free version of Campari. It is really good. [Keysmart CleanKey – Antimicrobial Hand Tool + Door Opener – $25]( Well, here we are. Alternatively you could carry a stick with you. Or just not worry that much. This seems like a good option for those that do worry, and don’t want to carry a stick with them. Designed for opening doors, punching in numbers on a keypad, elevators, etc. Copper Alloy is antimicrobial AND it looks cool. Kapow! Self checkout again! [Spier and Mackay Suede Wingtips – $248]( Summer suede. Funny thing about suede shoes, they look awesome in the summer… but they also look great in the fall with dark denim, textured sweaters, and sportcoats. True oxford wingtip here. Goodyear welted. Made in Portugal. A serious shoe that can’t be taken too seriously because they’re suede. Seriously. BONUS [The Chiffon Trenches: A Memoir by André Leon Talley]( “My story is a fairytale of excess, and in every fairytale there is evil and darkness, but you overcome it with light. I want every person I come across – the stranger on the street, the church member in the pew next to me – to feel love.” – [Andre Leon Talley, as told to The Guardian](. The man has more wattage than [Ma Bell](. With half a century in the fashion industry, Andre Leon Talley is one of the world’s foremost practitioners of the (sometimes martial) art of high fashion, and veteran of all that comes with covering it. Maybe you don’t have much in common with the long time editor-at-large of Anna Wintour’s Vogue. Or maybe you do. Seems like everyone will be utterly gripped by his story. And that’s proof of his magic.

Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head [here]( to learn more. What are you going to wear? Sometimes it’s good to look at a few suggestions then add your own tweaks and ideas. That’s what these are for. One day it’s spring, the next day it’s the Sahara or a steamy swamp. So goes the unpredictability of early Summer. Here’s one way to avoid a forgettable shorts and t-shirt look, all while keeping it comfortable and loose when it heats up. [Style Scenario 06120 Hot Weather] The Shirt: [Banana Republic Slim-Fit Luxe Poplin Shirt – $41.70]( ($69.50). Shark shirt. Or, whatever well fitting short sleeve poplin you happen to prefer. Maybe [it’s Goodthreads](. Or maybe it’s Bonobos, who also happens to have a… [SHARK SHIRT.]( The Watch: [Seiko 007 – $299](//www.jomashop.com/seiko-watch-skx007j1.html). Too spendy? There’s always [the Casio diver](. But the Seiko 007 [is a tough classic]( plenty swear by. The Sunglasses: [Sunski Topekas – $68]( I know. Sunski again. No, we don’t have some sort of sponsorship deal with them. The truth is I’m lucky enough to own Persols and Ray-bans… and I keep reaching for the Sunskis. When it’s uncomfortable out, their lightweight frames and non-slip nose pads really come in handy. They’re unobtrusive, they’re relatively affordable compared to the designer names, and they look good. The Pants: [Goodfellow & Co. Tech Chino Pants in Blue – $29.99](. Tech or lightweight chinos, in the heat, are far better than heavy cotton cargo shorts any day. Come to think of it, just about anything is better than heavy cotton cargo shorts any day. [But more power to ’em](. The Shoes: [Banana Republic Marden Double Monk – $72]( ($158). All but sold out now, because that’ll happen once they drop under sixty like they did last week. Kinda a perfect smart casual summer shoe. Classic court sneakers would work here too. [As would desert boots](. The Socks:[Smartwool Diamond Jim Sock – $15.36]( ($22.95). Lightweight and breathable. You want socks in summer… as long as they’re the right socks. Cotton soaks up and holds onto sweat. Wool breathes, wicks, and keeps your feet comfortable. Yes it seems counter-intuitive to the newbies just finding our site, but it’s true. Wear lightweight wool socks in the heat. You’ll be glad you did. The Belt: [TheTieBar Dark Brown Suede Belt – $30](//www.thetiebar.com/product/BLT-3643-0005). A dark brown suede belt is hugely versatile. And no, it doesn’t have to match the lighter brown shoes here. You can very much wear them together. The Water Bottle: [S’well Stainless Steel Water Bottle in Blue Granite – $45](. Stay hydrated my friends. This water bottle is frankly a silly splurge that’s stupid expensive. But hey, if it actually gets someone who doesn’t drink that much water, to drink more water? So be it. For those on a budget and who don’t give a hoot about the pretty “blue granite” exterior, [these are dynamite](. Currently drinking out of one of those as I type this. ff/Dappered?a=7eUB6vE_c7o:nknmQ6IBDdc:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=7eUB6vE_c7o:nknmQ6IBDdc:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=7eUB6vE_c7o:nknmQ6IBDdc:gIN9vFwOqvQ You are subscribed to email updates from [Dappered Style Mail]().
