Genesis Pendant lamp - another gorgeous exposed bulb design

First to recommend

Description

This one too... Again, the word "covet"...

Simple, classy, won't go out of style. $78... that price surely won't go out of style!!!

Do note you will need special bulbs for this pendant. I'll do some research and see if I can post some on here. There are AMAZING new bulbs out there!

Meridian Pendant Lamp/lighting With Hardwire Kit-I adore this open style

First to recommend

Description

I want it, I need it. I will have it.

I absolutely love the shape, style, and design of this one.
It's going in my spanish style kitchen as we renovate it... picture three of these hanging from the ceiling over my eat in island... They are part rustic, obviously new, but the exposed bulb and the shape and coloring make me want it so badly I could eat it....

Things like this are so subtle, but add SUCH a feeling of age, comfort, and class to a kitchen that is surrounded by the newest and shiniest...
It will help our remodel not stick out like a sore thumb with the rest of the 1920's charm...

Large Stackable vintage Chicken Coop style storage shelving

First to recommend

Description

OK... A bit more rustic, but I also love this knock off of chicken coop style storage.

Have a shoeless house? this is perfect for shoe storage and keeping mess out of your home. A shoeless house improves incredibly the amount of debris, dirt, germs, bugs, etc that you track into your home. You can offer guests spa style slippers to wear around the house for comfort, and they would fit great into these compartments as well.

At $175, this is a great find. You could use this as a recycling bin, shoe storage, bulk grocery storage, kids' room storage, sports' equipment or gym storage, bookshelves in an office... (etc)

or even wine bottle storage!!!

I like the shape too, the angles add visual interest. :)

Wright's Peak Wire Tall Storage - All your stuff would look so great stored here...

First to recommend

Description

Love, love, love the vertical version of this too.

Distressed iron bookcase/storage that are modeled after original milk bottle storage. These are so great because they are subtle and don't take up a lot of visual energy in your room... they let your "stuff" speak for itself.

Works in a traditional setting or a more sleek spot too. Again, consider painting behind it (maybe even a few different colors in different compartments??? oooh.. love that idea) to add some visual interest to a storage area...

Plus, at $375, this is really well priced.

Wire Wall Storage With Hooks- inexpensive and artsy way to use your wall!

First to recommend

Description

The price on this is fantastic. $195. Using this you can create storage, as well as serious visual interest on a wall. If you hang it a bit lower, you can also use the top to stand things on, or... you could hang 4 pictures directly over this unit to create a true art wall... plus your dresses, shirts, (whatever) can hang from underneath this -- keeping frequently used items right at hand!

Also... consider painting the space directly behind the storage rack to add a pop of color!

Ever unplug something accidentally while you were crawling around under a desk? These small stickers show an image of what the cord is connected to: a computer, radio, printer, etc.
