Large Vertical Garden - Smith & Hawken

7 people recommended this item

Description

I previously recommended a planting panel for vertical garden - this one has the frame already built. Plus it includes a water catching tray so you can water your plants indoors without worry. I wish I could convert this to a closet door. How fabulous would that be? Maybe I can... Just need to think creatively!

Theatre Armchair

First to recommend

Description

A classic that is timeless... I love this Ted Boerner's chair. If I didn't have two giant dogs that destroy everything they touch... I would save up for this and the matching sofa.

Stingray Rocking Chair

First to recommend

Description

My God, I LOVE this chair. At $4,400, I may need to sell my dogs in order to possess such luxury. Hmmmm. Dogs are not happy right now.

Bose iPod Portable Docking Station

3 people recommended this item

Description

Finally, and damn it! I own the docking station from three years ago, when they first introduced it. I LOVE it, and so do all my friends, including my DJ friends. Impressive sound from a single speaker unit that is pretty minimal in design.

What I'm not happy about is mine does not come cordless. What I'm psyched about is the new model has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and a handle (important). So one can now tote this to the beach if needed, which I needed and will need.

I think I have to swallow paying for the old model and upgrade to the new. I don't think I have a choice, do I?

Modular Light Screen

First to recommend

Description

Oh, too many great lighting options, too little money. These light panels can be connected, up to five panels at a time. It'll cost you $7,000 though, which is not bad considering the amount of territory this covers. I would love to have a single panel for a space I created during the remodel, but it's 9" thick, which does not work with the fixture I have in mind. I need a 4" thick light wall (which I'm creating myself with fabric panels and led string lights... when I get to it, that is.).

I'm sure I'll find a reason to get this one day.

Description

A flat, flexible light bulb. Seems like more fun to play with than actually useful, but that counts too.

Reclaimed Lumber Benches

First to recommend

Description

I've been wanting a bench like this for as long as I can remember. I've always loved this style, but I've never had a place big enough. Funny how it turns out they're the perfect design style for creating sustainable furniture.

In order to achieve the best sustainable outcome for these gorgeous benches, BWC created each bench 20ft in length, keeping the material mostly in its found state (long huge planks of reclaimed wood).

I always feel inspired when I witness a natural cycle of 'need' becoming 'desire.'

Inglas Laminated Glass

First to recommend

Description

The one item that is holding up finishing my kitchen remodel is the counter. With delicate and expensive custom cabinets already in place, it was extremely important for me to find the 'right' match.

The most current decision was to go with micro tiles (a pain, by the way). However, if Inglas glass were readily available, I would have pursued this option. They make gorgeous laminated glass mixed with different objects and materials to create decorative surfaces that can be applied indoors or outdoors for furniture, counters, walls, railings, windows, more.

In order to save myself from another six-month delay, I did not research further how to buy this glass. For sure, my project manager (aka boyfriend) would have a heart attack. We're not talking about the bankrupt-me-budget either. Let's put it this way, it took him 3 months to get me to agree to a tile color. (via Core77)
