product love // wood

It's 2 o'clock and I'm thinking about happy hour already (is that bad?). If I were to stay home for that cocktail, I want to drink my martinis in these! Please tell me you agree...

I am in need of a cover for my phone and this one is top on my list. You know how I'm a sucker for a good pattern, so I love this tribal pattern. You can't go wrong with their other simple wood covers though. So good. And made in the USA!

in your home

There are so many great options out there in the world of eco-friendly furnishings and finishes. I have a few to share that have officially been added to my list when I have somewhere to put a new piece!

I'm sort of in love with this company I recently learned about. Wonk NYC, based in Brooklyn, uses environmentally friendly materials and finishes to produce modern home and office furnishings. I really love the fact that you can choose your own finishes and hardware to create a one of a kind piece.

SOBU, owned by some serious talent in Oakland California, allows the natural character and variation in wood to be the highlight of each piece and use fabrics with natural fibers. They also use recycled aluminum and steel when they can find it. I just want to curl up on the Indigo lounge with my cocktail sitting on the Otto side table by my side. Anyone with me?

Joya Rocker

Hand crafted in Canada, Monte Design has the most beautiful + simple rocker. I'm most definitely recommending this to all my friends decorating a nursery.

Finishing everything by hand, Duverre has created unique design-driven collections of knobs and pulls manufactured entirely from recycled aluminum. I just love the idea of 'purposeful' imperfections. I hope you turn to amazing companies like these using materials with environmentally friendly choices.

a play by play... Atlanta Gift Show

I have gotten back from the Atlanta Gift Show, am packing orders, and wanted to share the process of the whole event! Take a behind the scenes look at how the booth came together. Thank goodness for good friends who step in as the most amazing set-up team, and another wonderful friend to help work the booth. Hope you enjoy the play by play...
