If you have limited space outdoors and want to grill on the weekends without reverting to a tiny weber, the table grill would not offend the eye whilst tempting the palette.

“the table grill by eva solo. a smaller version of the popular barrel grill, the table grill is portable and, well, looks pretty nice on a table for a hibachi-style cookfest. teak base for heat protection. not suggested for use on plastic or easily heat-damaged materials.”

6.3″ h x 11.8″ dia.

Quite an interesting-looking lamp…

“Brazilian Maurício Klabin designed the Eclipse Lamp in 1982 as part of a series of objects he called “cocoons,” due to their rounded form, internal volumes and capacity to change. With the same kind of coiled delicacy you find in a soft-shelled nautilus, the Eclipse is a model of simplicity and ingenuity. Fabricated from a single strip of polypropylene attached to a steel frame, the Eclipse can be opened or closed to varying degrees. This allows the shape of the fixture to be altered to expand or reduce the amount of direct light or change the angle of illumination.”

Steel base; translucent polypropylene diffuser; black cord.

This table seems to fit function and beauty equally within its design.

“With spare clean lines and no decorative excess, Matthew Hilton’s Cross Extension Table pairs the elegance and warmth of classic English furniture with the simple beauty of 21st-century modernism…The table top expands with a simple pull, allowing up to two leaves to be inserted, extending the table’s length from a minimum of 78.75″ to 116″. After the guests depart, the leaves store neatly in a compartment on the table’s underside. And because of the leg’s darting design, as many as 10 can sit comfortably at the Cross Table without discomfort or squeezing.”

Solid oak base; veneered oak top with solid oak supports.

Occasionally I’ll run across a better picture of a product that we’ve posted from long ago (in this case, March of ’06), and it’s only right to update the post so that you as a reader have a better idea of what’s available in today’s market. Most often the price will be a far cry from the original, but happily, this console is still available from one retailer for the same price of $300, while another has it priced at $620. I guess it pays to shop around, huh?

Three-legged console table, inspired by the rock and roll antics of the legendary Mr. Keith Moon. For all wall types. Solid oak finished with a clear matte lacquer.

Dimensions: 28 x 28 x 11.5 inches

$300.00, Buy it here.

What do you get the person who has everything? Well, duh. You get them a set of 10 crystal color cube paperweights. Hand cut and polished crystal, these cubes would be oh so pretty upon any surface all spread out or stacked or any which way. I would snap them up myself if I had some money to burn. I wish they were available individually.

(design year: 1929!)

each one a different color (clear, alexandrite, amethyst, aquamarine, beryl, cobalt, eldor, rosalin, smoke, and topaz)

2.33″ cubed

For $30, this barstool might just fit your budget as well as your counter/bar.

Do you think if I added this to my wishlist somehow it would appear in my home around the holiday gift-giving time of year? I’ll have a kernel of hope that it would be so, but maybe I’ll start another savings/money pile for it just in case. Hand knotted with 100% New Zealand wool (11mm pile height).

Also available in green.

It’s a sleeper sofa! It’s refreshing to see a truly modern sofa hide the practicality of a sleeper so well.

(Also, right now DWR is having their Upholstery Sale and there is free standard shipping for a limited time.)

“Offering the island-like sanctuary of a large chaise lounge, the versatility of a sofa bed, and the storage of a cupboard, the Havana Sofa readily adapts to the complex demands of modern living… Expanded completely, it is ready to serve as a full-sized daybed or bed in which, with a turn of the body, armrests become the foot- and headboards. The seat base doubles as a full storage compartment (accessible when the sofa is upright), the perfect hideaway for bedding or extra seat cushions.”

And, if that’s not enough, the upholstery is bouclé blend. I heart bouclé.

The Chair One looks like something made in the 80’s intended to look like it was made in 2020. Whatever decade it was actually made in, I love this chair. It’s weather-proofed so it would look equally great indoors or outdoors.

an exceptionally versatile indoor/outdoor seating system, the chair is one of the most original and important seating designs to come along in years. chair legs are polished anodized aluminum and seats are die-cast aluminum, cataphoretically-treated and painted in red, white or anthracite polyester powder. a concrete base version is available as well as swivel and public seating variations. the concrete base is painted transparent clear.

Designer: Konstantin Grcic

I saw this chair what seems forever ago in some bad picture of some furniture show, don’t remember which. But, man, I love it. I really might have to save up my money for it (for real). It’s stellar.

“The Prince Chair was originally designed for an invite only competition to give form to a chair for His Royal Highness The Crown Prince of Denmark. Made from powder coated laser cut steel with wool covered rubber seat and back.”

Designed by Louise Campbell.

As far as doormats go, I think this is a nice alternative to most of the rather humdrum options.

For me, the ah-ha! moment was the christmas light photo. And, thinking of how it must be twice as strong and sturdy than a regular ol’ tack…I have a habit of layering papers on my bulletin board at work and it’d be nice to have something up to the task.

To be perfectly honest, when I first saw this, I thought, ” why would anybody need a floating-ish shoe rack?” (notice I said need and not want). Then the other night I came very close to tripping over a couple of silly shoes beside the front door. So, now I understand.

Available in two sizes; one that holds 6 pairs of shoes and also comes with a moveable mirror, or one that holds 3 pairs. Wall mounted, stainless steel.

“There’s a giant matchstick leaning against your wall!” is what you’ll hear everytime somebody new comes to visit. Impress and amaze with this funny lamp made of a wooden stand and a red or white plastic tip (both come with the base).

I am super excited about this, but I have to warn you, it’s not yet available in the U.S. It’s in the works though, so I’ll post again once it’s a done deal. I can’t wait.

“Outdoor Wallpaper is available in a variety of sizes, designs, materials and finishes – including stainless steel (satin and mirror finish), aluminium, powder-coated steel (in virtually any colour), acrylic and wood – all appropriate for outdoor use.”

Wood! Stainless Steel! All sorts of colors! I am tempted to use an expletive because I’m so overwhelmed.
