Sometimes you're lucky enough to find that color of paint which you love so much you can't stand to cover it with wall decorations. Yet the dilemma arises: without a clock, how will you ever be on time to anything again? Well, this bamboo wall clock could be the solution to your problems. There is no clock face, but simply a center…
This glass bowl in the shape of a wide-open Ziploc baggie sits flat and holds about 10 ounces worth of jelly beans, Skittles, peanuts, or just plain water in case you want to use it as a home for your pet goldfish.
Instead of collecting your used wine bottle corks in a jar, why not turn them into toy animal decorations instead? Or, next time you take a bottle of wine to a dinner party, bring along a Bunny Corker with it.

I keep a short beard. Or, to be more specific, a permanent 5 o'clock shadow. And so I've always shaved with a guardless beard trimmer. The problem is that the cut hairs escape all over the sink. Anyone who trims their beard knows exactly what I'm talking about. Well, earlier this week I picked up the Norelco Qt4070 — it's a beard…
The truth is, I am somewhat of a sucker for non-standard-issue lamps. The Old Faithful shop is full of such lamps, and this glass cylinder pendant lamp is no exception. On the end of a 15-foot cord is a bronzed metal frame that holds the glass cylinder which measures 5.5 inches in diameter and 7.7 inches tall.
These are not the sort of girly-girl tealight candle holders you buy at Pier 1 Imports. No sir. These Tealight Tree Torches are made with cast iron and heat-resistant glass. They incorporate a 6-inch spike so you can pound them into a tree trunk, dead log, door frame, wall, or anywhere else you want them mounted. They work indoors and out. So…
Made from solid steel and finished in hammered black, what better way to prop up all the books you've bought from A Book Apart?* If you prefer geek rather than nerd, fear not, they've got that too. * These bookends will hold non-nerdy books, too.
Heath Ceramics partnered with House Industries to bring Neutraface, a classy and clean typeface, to your home. Literally. Neutraface was originally designed as a headline typeface, based on the architecture and design savvy of Richard Neutra, and it looks fantastic on these 3x6 tiles.
This gummy bear is bigger than a football. It weighs 5 pounds and comes in cherry, blue raspberry, and green apple flavors. You could fit 1,000 regular gummy bears in just one of these bad boys.
The lamp and the computer monitor are two of the most important pieces on my desk. I like lamps that can be adjusted and which have a lot of personality. This work lamp from the Old Faithful Shop has both. It's rustic, vintage, and industrial — all words which can do wonders to inspire creative work and productivity.
The Nest is a learning thermostat with equal parts beautiful design and intelligent software. It's as easy to use as your old-school dial thermostat, but as you use Nest it learns your temperature preferences and living patters and begins setting itself accordingly. Moreover, it connects to your home's local Wi-Fi and so you can connect to your Nest from anywhere in the…
A double-walled porcelain coffee mug with its own drip filter holder so you can make a single cup of pour over coffee using the mug itself? This may be the most perfect travel mug I have ever seen.
I don't travel that often, but how many times has Anna or I pulled a shirt or pair of slacks or dress out from our closet only to find that they are in need of ironing? I can't even answer my own question because it seems like this happens all the time (especially when we are running late for a wedding). A…
This sampler set is packed in a reclaimed cigar box and filled with smaller selections of some of Portland General Store's wash items for men. Shampoo and conditioner, shaving soap, aftershave, and more — PGS carries some manly items. This sampler box would be a great gift for that dude you're not sure what to give or else a way to get…
It doesn't matter if we're with my family or my wife's family, when we get together we play board games. The Settlers of Catan is a favorite on my side, and Ticket to Ride is the favorite on Anna's side. (A new favorite that hasn't been introduced to the in-laws just yet is Power Grid.) Ticket to Ride takes about 2 hours…
These log bowls are handmade from reclaimed Canadian wood by the Loyal Loot Collective in Alberta, Canada. What a fine way to display and hold stuff (Like candy. Hello!) this fall. Sizes and colors vary.
The first thing I do every day is make a cup of coffee. But before I make that AM trek to the kitchen I put on my UGGs. And, since I work from home, I often wear the UGGs all day. UGG slippers are known for their quality and longevity as well as their comfyness. (Is comfyness even a word?) Right now…
