When furniture designers found themselves gloomy, questioning the purpose of their inane creations, they may have thought throwing lights into their projects would lull them out of their depression. Whether or not that worked, the glowing couches and tables are a treat for consumers. Like moths, we freak out over anything that lights up >>>...
Next time you think about throwing a luau, forget the grass skirt and grab some grass furniture instead.
This furniture merges the home with a grassy meadow. Even with potted plants, the home ensemble just isn’t green enough >>>...
If you follow our blog, you know that we're "green" at heart. I, personally, don't hug a lot of trees, but I do admire them and walk out of my way to pass houses with beautiful landscaping. Usually that means a flowering fruit tree or maybe a bush pruned to look like a giraffe >>>...
How many times have you been warned not to throw rocks at a glass house, and how many times has that advice come in handy? Well, brave architects are planning to build a glass house showroom this year. They won't have any trouble filling it, either, with the glass furniture, glass tile, glass accents, and glass everything else that's already available. They'll have to work around birds trying to fly in and people looking up ladies' skirts, but the design itself will be no problem >>>...

It's like the pieces you find at a thrift shot, flea market, or just on the side of the road come pre-installed with a heaping helping of personality and potential.

Rustic decor is great on its own for a cabin feel or to remind you of Grandma's farmhouse. It also mixes surprisingly well into almost any other home decor. Unless, of course, your pad is space age or hardcore industrial, at which point I make no promises >>>...
I'm sold on rustic decor and its use of sustainable reclaimed wood furniture. If you aren't yet, take my word for it until you see the photos below or get up to speed with my first post in the series. The short story is that adding country-inspired furniture and accents is a fun new trend, reclaimed wood is eco friendly, and it lets you keep family heirlooms without going for totally country decor >>>...
The problem: scratched furniture, scratched humans, unhappy kitties.
My two offenders. Don't they look innocent?
Cute kitties >>>...
I always dreamed of a patio. Okay, for the first few years I was looking for apartments, I really wanted a patio. That's similar, right? Then I got one but barely used it because it was too cold >>>...
Get ready for a conquest in mastering outdoor dining. Preparing for that summer barbecue is an exciting process. Grilling outdoors reminds us of summer as a kid, enjoying no homework, pool parties and eating as many hamburgers and hot dogs as we could >>>...
