Cork Umbrella -- $ 162.00| Buy it here
Yes, an umbrella made from cork. Really. Cork is naturally water-resistant and eco-friendly (as it is a sustainable resource), so it’ll keep you dry and happy.

Cottier/Barber Home | View it here | [via The Selby]
Take a look at this gem of a bathroom. The wood floor of the shower extends into the outside patio, and with that huge pivoting door, the indoor/outdoor divide is blurred nicely.
(Here’s a previous post on pivoting doors, with these two resources listed for hinges:
ePivots and Rixson)

Green Boy -- $ 10.00| Buy it here
Cute. While Green Boy does a great job of organizing that jangling mess of keys you have, to me, it seems like he’s being quite assertive and telling me to remember to keep work and home life separate. Funny how a piece of green plastic could have so much emotion.
Designer: Vadim Kibardi

Ooma Bowl -- $ 25.00| Buy it here
Yeah, how much do you want this? Because this is the sort of thing that once you have, you’ll wonder how you managed without it, unless you always-always-always sit at a table to eat, of course (in which case, this might change your life). The double chambers allow two types of food to be balanced ‘ergonomically’ while eating without a table. What part of that isn’t great? Less mess fumbling around with your food is always a good thing, no doubt about it.

| Buy it here
Do you remember the Do-lo-rez Modular Sofa? Well, here’s a carpet to match. Normally I’d say stay away from anything too ‘matchy-matchy’, but I think we all know in this case it’s entirely permissible (if not advisable?).

Natural Solutions Cleaning Kit -- $ 34.95| Buy it here
Just add elbow grease. If your place is a pigsty and you’re short on the basics, this kit would be a convenient thing to get.
