These planters have a great look with a not-so-bad price. You can opt for the stand or not, it’s up to you. Choose from orange, red, yellow, white, sea green, or brown.

Each planter is hand spun from aluminum and powder coated–making them durable for outdoors. The steel stands are fitted with rubber, shock-absorbing pads at both ends to protect the planter and floor surface–making them ideal for indoors. Two planter styles, two stand heights and six color options yield countless configurations to customize a single planter or grouping according to your site.

Goodness gracious, these pockets are just about the best idea in gardening indoors and out. The gigantic installations shown on larger walls (not shown) are pretty amazing, but I think I’d be happy with one of the smaller Woolly Wallies (lower left) just to get some greenery indoors in a novel (and leak-proof) way. All Woolly Pockets are modular, so get one and add to it as your garden grows.

Woolly Pockets are handmade in the U.S.A. from recycled plastic bottles.

This rug is spectacular with its rhombic shape and pink/blue/purple/grey color scheme.

In reference to the Japanese wrapping technique, that protects objects for transport, the Furoshiki seams like a folded cloth. The rug’s pattern combines 6 different colours and is produced by hand in 100% wool from New Zealand.

Whoa, talk about being serious about your sound system, this mother of all grandaddy home theatres will house your speakers (don’t worry, that includes a subwoofer), iPod dock, CD player, and AM/FM radio, plus there’s room to add in your DVD player and other components. It doesn’t look too bad either. (more…)

Two sizes in one plus a handful of fun colors to choose from…

This is a trivet for small pots and for large pots in one! All you need to do is turn it inside out and you’ll flip it from the small one to the big one. Made out of silicone, it is not just very durable; it also keeps the color perfectly and adds just the right flexibility to make the flipping an easy task. The diameter of the inside version is 7″ or 18 cm and the outside diameter is 9.4″ or 23,7 cm, so just the right difference.

Colors: Blue, Gray, Olive, Raspberry

Who needs numbers to tell the time? Certainly not anyone who has this word clock.

The clock consists of two adjacent rolls, contained in a clear acrylic tube. A red mark indicates the line that should be read to tell the time. The left roll spells out five minute increments of time. The right roll contains the numbers one to twelve, spelled out. The gearing is such that as the minutes turn to “twenty-five minutes to,” the hour roll advances.

Designer: Hans Muller and Hans van Dongen
Materials: Acrylic, plastic.

I’m not quite sure what this is made from (wool? felt? maybe even wood??), but it’s pretty cute for the price. And call me crazy, but I wouldn’t say it’s just for kids…if it had ABCs or something then yeah, I’d say for kids, but adults can like animal silhouettes too.

Blue. Measures approximately 38.5″.
