Small, unassuming, well-designed. Acrylic keys and requires a 1.5V battery.

Hmm. It’s a letter holder and I like it.

Table, container, and magazine rack, all in one. How much do we love the Bouroullec brothers? Let us count the ways…

So pleasantly nice to see the pet furniture category expanding…and, hey, even if you don’t have cats, these perhaps could be used as accent pieces, maybe a small side table?

The whole silicone bracelet movement has really reached its peak of annoyance but somehow this one doesn’t really bother me.

Nicely done rectangular nickel vases…

Polished nickel finish over brass is water tight.
Each size is sold separately.

Absolutely lovely. Clean lines and a precise silhouette make this bench a great buy.

“The Botanist series combines the precision of minimal honest design with the beauty of nature. Each piece starts with a single piece of aluminum, which is precisely cut, bent, and faced with either a high impact powder coat or an epoxy coated real wood veneer.

This set of four sturdy bags can be used for recycling containers or for reusable shopping bags.

“The bags are made of industrial-strength tarpaulin-a heavy double-warp fabric that is plastic-coated- the bags are waterproof and can be quickly washed out in the sink or outside with a garden hose. Each bag is color coded to provide easy visual cues when separating cans from bottles from papers. A fourth bag can function as a compost holder. Velcro tabs enable the bags to be ganged together in a row; handles make for easy carrying. Four interchangeable printed labels are included for use in the plastic window on the front of each bag.”

Hurray for recycled vase covers that are particularly pretty- packed flat, they arrive ready for you to unfold and arrange. Do I need to point out that these would also make lovely gifts?

“Designer Tord Boontje has a history of taking recycled industrial materials and turning them into something functional. With his Thinking of You Vase Cover, an ordinary bottle is transformed into a centerpiece. The Vase Cover arrives packed flat, and is easily assembled around your found object. Choose from three designs or group all three for a festive, sparkling display. The Vase Covers feature delicate flowers, butterflies and nature-inspired shapes on arching tendrils that bounce and twist.”

Tall Vase Cover: H 12″ Diameter 6″

This outdoor seating is so nice that I’d almost want to bring it indoors.

Well, look at this. I just might have to buy one and have ‘bltd’ inscribed upon it. You should do the same (but only if you want to).

It’s quite hard to find an unobtrusive ceiling fan, so that’s why it’s so nice to see this particular one. Ceiling fans are key in saving money on energy bills, so if you’re not utilizing fans in your main living areas, you might want to look into the idea. Several different finishes are available.

Downrods available in several different lengths to accomodate ceiling heights.

The new trend of vinyl wall adhesives may be a testament to the fickle nature of design or possibly just the desire to see an immediate change in your surroundings. The Flora and Fauna wall graphic uses the saccharine-sweet designs of Tado.
