EcoSmart Fire

EcoSmart Fire is an enviromentally friendly open fireplace.
It's fueled by renewable modern energy and burns clean.

I do not have words for how much I love all of their products.

Modern Shed

I wish I could talk my husband into this shed for our backyard.

My perfect coat rack

I've been looking for a cool coat rack for awhile. I want something by my backdoor, but I don't want it to be just any ol' hook.
Today I found just the thing!

This Victoria Butler Coatrack is perfect. It's modern, it's cool & it's totally practical!

Reversible Side Tables

I love these Reversible Side Tables from West Elm. They can interlock and create a larger table if needed.

Great design makes me so happy!

Great art for $20. Seriously.

I'm not the first, and I won't be the last talking about 20 x 200.
They put up two new pieces of art a week: one photo and one work on paper.

This is the best way to start your art collection. Hands down. Don't buy the ugly piece for your wall at the local furniture outlet. Buy something beautiful that you love! It doesn't have to break the bank.

Choosing organic

At our house we try to buy organic. I would say we buy about 50%, sometimes less. That's not a lot. The key word is try.
A lot of times organic is not available. Sometimes organic is just too expensive!
I know that some fruits & vegetables are more important to buy organic than others. My rule of thumb has always been if we eat the skin (strawberries, apples) than I try to buy it organic. If we don't (pineapples, bananas) then I don't worry about it as much.
Well, I just found a handy, dandy guide on Environmental Working Group's website. Go to there and sign up and you can get an iPhone App or a Download of the Guide of What to Buy Organic.
I just downloaded & printed it and I'm going to hang it on my fridge!

Bringing the outside in

I love these Boards by Joel. They sell them as trivets & coasters. I think I would just use it as a decoration. They are beautiful!

Whiskey Stones

One of my day jobs is in the stone business. I have a ridiculous love of stone.
I mainly deal with countertops, but when I see stone used other ways I really geek out about it.
I don't really drink whisky but I TOTALLY want these soapstone Whiskey Stones from Teroforma.

Buttered Up

I find this butter dish to be near perfection.
White ceramic + a sense of humor + cheap (only $12!).
Yes, near perfection indeed.

Want, want, want

That's what I feel like. I am always want, want, wanting.



So speaking of always wanting.....
I really would love to own I.M. Pei: Complete Works.
