Interior designers are always shopping. For them, it seems, life is one gorgeous quest. Of course, most of the time, these talented tastemakers are on the hunt for furnishings and decorative elements for someone else’s home. What if they could choose something they wanted for their very own? We asked ten of our favorite designers from around the country to do just that. Each revealed one item from their personal lists for Santa. Take a look at their amazing finds. We are very tempted to snap up a couple of these treasures for ourselves.
