Just a reminder that some of the spring sales are ending tomorrow.

Hmm, what in the world could this small, ramp-like item be? It's made from natural cork and is about the size of a medium sized notepad (for lack of a better comparison). Any guesses?

It will keep your...Read more

Nowadays there are more lighting options than ever- you don't have to buy from the big box stores, as there are many designers/makers doing their own selection of ceiling pendants and lamps. This Brass T fixture from Allied Maker is just about as simple as you can get, and was inspired by 19th century gas lanterns that used to illuminate old saloons.

You're probably thinking that those are stone tiles above, but, surprise, those tiles are made from recycled and reclaimed sources of paper-laminate. Paper-laminate? Yep, you read it right.

If you still find yourself (or your guests) placing their drinks on the floor, guess what? You need a couple more side tables.

This Plus Side Table from CB2 is hand-carved from a solid stump of sustainable acacia wood,...Read more

Over the past several months, I've slowly been won over by Pinterest. Snobbery initially led me to believe that Pinterest was purely for the 'crafty' set, and, as a result, I turned up my nose and pledged my allegiance to Tumblr, thinking I'd never need any more inspiration than what turned up there. Silly me. I've come to learn that Pinterest, as with many other things in life, is what...Read more

The CH24. The Wishbone. Whatever name you prefer, it's a classic. And, unlike back in 1944 when Hans Wegner created the Wishbone, it's now available in 15 different color lacquers as well as in natural oak or walnut.
