What Is Style Divas – Best of the Web? It’s about bringing attention to and highlighting the very best and most fabulous design and style blogs/websites that make their home in this large, boundary-less world called cyberspace.

The criteria is simple – We look for value to the reader, engaging content, originality and creativity. Each week we will select the most outstanding posts or articles from sites we find or that are submitted to us for review. You can submit your design and style nominations to styledivasbestoftheweb@thedecoratingdiva.com.

Spanish product designer Hector Serrano creates an amazing example of decor as fine modern art. Hector created the aptly named “Top Secret” lamp (pictured below) from acetate that had been passed through a shredding machine which had been used to destroy confidential documents, hence the name, “Top Secret”. Clever and beautiful.

A little taste of what awaits you at 1stDibs is the “Crystal Snowflake Chandelier” (pictured below) made in Italy circa the swinging ’60s. This beauty is made of crystal, nickel and finished with polished nickel hardware.
One little warning before we send you off, 1stDibs is addictive (in a good way). Crystal Snowflake Chandelier - 1stDibs.com
