A Bonita furniture find, shabby chic on Sanibel, and a LuLu of a gift boutique in Naples.

The additional display space has encouraged the Gatehouse owner to take on a line of distressed iron beds made for the store in California. Painted an antique white, the beds have a beguiling, romantic Old World look. They come in all sizes and can be semi-customized for someone who wants a higher headboard. Available in several designs, these beds retail from $1,870 to $3,400. Sue has a twin size all made up near the front of the store, and it truly is something special. Of course, she carries the line of bed linens she used, too.
Over on the other side of the store, some small chandeliers sport a combination of clear and colored prisms with ropes of glass beads. What's so appealing about these light fixtures is the size. They are petite enough for a nursery or powder room or small condo guest bedroom. At just $180, these white, metal chandeliers make genuine bargain-buys. I think you should dangle one over a dainty claw-foot bathtub in a beach cottage. Light a battalion of aromatherapy candles, turn on some music, fill the tub with bubbles, slip into the hot water and congratulate yourself on some world-class shopping.
