OXO Good Grips 9-Piece Essential Home Kit

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Before I bought this tool kit, we had a open canvas bag with a bunch of random tools in it. I was terrified that someone might knock themselves out if the tools tumbled down from the top shelf of the closet. I was so thrilled to finally have a full set of tools that matched. Several pieces have multiple uses. I gave away my mismatched set. The bag has room for your favorite tools that you can't live without. There are also pockets on the side to hold nails and hooks. The bag is compact and neatly unzips to reveal all of the treasures inside. I must have used my tools three or four times the first weekend I had it. Well worth it!

FLOR Modular Tiles carpet tiles and area rugs for Do-It-Yourself ease

4 people recommended this item

Description

We need a rug for our second bedroom. I like the idea of the versatitily and the eco-friendly design. When I explained to Henry that we could simply stack up the carpet tiles instead of trying roll up and store a rug, he was sold. Now which color am I going to choose? There are so many.

Griffin Technology: RoadTrip - FM Transmitter and Car Charger

First to recommend

Description

The RoadTrip was so easy to use. I just plugged into my car charger and it was ready. We also discovered that you can plug it into your iMac at home and it will transmit iTunes to all of the radios in your apartment. I was surprised at how easy and life-changing it was.

Wedgwood White Fine Bone China

First to recommend

Description

We have the Wedgwood White China, which we selected for our fine china. When we moved into our much smaller apartment in DC, we brought this with us instead of our everyday china. It is so versatile and easy to use. I love it and highly recommend it to everyone. You can also easily dress it up or down or make it more festive by intermingling with other plates. There is no metallic trim, so we can put it in the dishwasher or microwave it.

I saw this wallpaper in the new Anthropologie catalog yesterday and fell in love. I love the graphic nature of the print. I want to use it to cover a folding wooden screen.
