Outdoor In

This time of year...the light is slowly creeping back...but I'm not too eager for spring. I haven't skiied nearly enough or watched my handsome husband shovel the snow with his big muscles, or seen my sweet little girl master ice skating...so I'm enjoying the season's pleasures...slowing down to enjoy the exposed and barren landscape, the empty canvas of white snow eager to make tracks...

I thought the up close and personal version would show unsightly cords and wires. It's simplicity is a marvel-wow.

another clever little coat rack-perfect for the weekend cabin, a typical Colorado mudroom, the ironically themed New york City apartment, a little boy's room-oooh I see it now WPA National Park posters super sized on the walls, boy scout manual on the bedside table, a big faux bois rug, lumberjack sheets and a big flannel throw....

I Felt the Light! I heard the eco*

Great price, great design! 2Modern is having a fantastic sample sale right now! Have I told you lately how much I love a good bargain?

Felt lighting people! On sale too...you could do these MIO capsules for a while and then pass them on if grow tired of them... or you could buy more and cluster them for a really amazing effect.

My only issue- and it's a minor one, is that they are hung by a white cord. White cords can be clean, modern, whimsical; but more often than not, they look like college or post college home furnishings (obviously cheap). Can you believe I'm complaining at this price though? I mean HONESTLY!

I've saved the best for last. As all of the above these are eco products! Go green...or am I not allowed to say that in '09? Green is still good but I think the buzz word police have banned the term and are opting for simply "sustainable."

The Hightower Gallery Stool is truly brilliant. I'd love to have four. I'd drag them in and outside, stack them like sculpture and even let sticky hands touch them...nothing a quick swipe of zen cleaner can't fix!

Pretty aren't they?
