While out shopping this past weekend, I came across the most beautiful geode bookends at Mitchell + Gold. I didn't have my camera with me and I couldn't stop thinking about them on the drive home. The rich and brilliant turquoise color of the geodes would be perfect in our dining room and their unique and organic quality is something our house desperately needs! One thing lead to another and before I knew it, I was trying to find a geode something for every room in the house. These naturally occurring rocks are an easy way to add interest and depth to your home - be it on your bookshelf, mantel, coffee table or maybe even your wall. Here are some of my favorite incarnations.

Ooh, I love geodes. I stumbled into the gem and mineral gift shop at the Natural History museum in DC last summer by accident and thought I'd died and gone to heaven. (http://www.mnh.si.edu/visit/shops.htm) It was like geode-overload.
And can we just agree that "Price upon request" means "You cannot afford it so we're saving you the heart attack of sticker shock"? Can't believe those ebay bookends are so cheap! I love them.
I love that Kelly Wearstler wall and only Kelly could get me to use agate. She makes all those hard, rock, severe surfaces look spectacular! Teri
@celeste - LOVE that jewelry! Speaking of jewelry, I found TONS of great geode jewelry on etsy for the story, but ended up deciding to just do home stuff this time around. I'll send you some links:)
@Erin - I'll def check out that shop! Totally agree on the "price upon request" - I actually requested a price a few months back and boy did it blow my mind:)
@Terri - K.W. is my favorite interior designer of all time. Hands down, insanely creative and gorgeous every single time!
