I Have Classic Style—Here's How I'm Decorating My Space Right Now

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 25 must-haves or current wish-list items.

Three years ago, my husband and I embarked on an ambitious house hunt exclusively for a project home. TBH, we didn’t want anything built after 1940. Many of our friends started questioning our decision-making skills, but for us, it was important that we found a home with character, rich history, and enough space for us to let our creativity take over and make the house our home.

We finally found our perfect contender—one built in 1938 that checked the curb-appeal box and was in the neighborhood we had our eye on. Sure, a few window screens were falling off and the front door was a shade of red that made me want to cry, but it was ours, and we were ready to roll up our sleeves to get to work. We’ve made some progress over the years, but I’m still always looking for the best items to add to my home that match my classic style. Here are 25 décor and homeware pieces I have in my cart, from living-room accents to what I'm stocking in my kitchen cabinets.

The baby-blue shade of this vase lends perfectly to my favorite flowers.
I'm fully aware that I have a toddler and a white couch, so these natural-hued linen pillows add a nice contrast to my living room (and double as props to cover fun stains).
I’ve been more excited to decorate my built-in bookshelves with these vases that act as pieces of art more than anything else… even books.
Sorry, it doesn't get more chic than a leather tissue box.
I love the alabaster base on this lamp—it looks more expensive than it actually is, and when bought as a pair, they can be the perfect bedside accents.
My husband and I are Armenian, meaning backgammon a staple in our culture. A girl can dream of owning this elevated set.
This was on my list for Mother's Day last year, and I can say it's one of my favorites in the house.
Every Friday night after our daughter has gone to sleep, we emerge as fun adults and have our best friends over for dinner. I like to “dress up” the table, even if we’re just having some pizza.
I love a good linen and white combo.
… and a touch of pink.
Though I’m not a huge natural-wood person, I do love touches of it throughout the house.
I’ve had my glass French press for close to five years now, so it’s time for a new one.
A nice alternative to a traditional sponge that harbors so much bacteria.
Can’t wait to make coq au vin in this.
Classics that deserve a special spot in my kitchen.
Another purposeful home item that doubles as a piece of art.
Checkered prints are a major fashion trend, but I’ve had my eye on this blue-and-white teapot to make a statement in the kitchen.
Though this brand's candles are on every home-décor list, I have a special affinity for this lily scent, which isn’t as popular as the rest of the collection.
We recently changed said red door for one with a deep-brown color, so I’ve been looking for a natural wreath to hang on the new one. This combo teleports me to the French countryside, and I’m here for it.
For entertaining purposes.
For linens, I always gravitate toward crisp white options.
Ask anyone who knows me, and they’ll tell you how little of a plant person I am, but I aspire to keep something like this alive.
Big fan of only including neutrals in the living room.
I usually opt for black books for my living room to add contrast against the bevvy of neutrals I have going on in there.
Neutrals just win in my book.

Up next, the 25 items I want from Nordstrom simply because they're that cute.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
