Beautiful Relaxation & Light

February 6th, 2008

Do I ever have a garden set for you. Greenergrassdesign offers so many amazing items that it’s a little overwhelming - in a nice breath taking sort of way. They have many options if you’re looking for some outdoor living items come spring. My two favorites…

The Smile by David Trubridge for relaxation:

outdoor seating

Trubridge’s work is created in New Zealand, using natural materials. This Smile would fit nicely on your porch or in the grass. Available in untreated ash or teak with a stainless steel base. Also, available as an add-on option is a full size futon. Now, if you’d like to relax at twilight or in the evening you’ll need the perfect light to go with this. Greenergrassdesign has that perfect lighting - the Sun Jar by Suck UK.

The Sun Jar is made with an old fashioned frosted Mason jar. Inside the jar is a solar cell, rechargeable battery and some low energy LED lamps. You charge the light during the day in the sun, and when evening comes, the light diffuses through the jar to light up your world. Warm LED lights are use to create a soothing, natural light. Plus they’re automatic. When it gets dark they glow. As a bonus they’re perfectly suitable for the outdoors - water-tight and safe. I love this idea for the garden. The Sun Jar would also make a great night light for a child or guest bath. You could even line many up on a picnic table for late summer dinners.

Really flawless living - can you imagine yourself lounging around in the warm spring and summer evenings. This seating and light, maybe some wine. Nice and peaceful.

Greenergrassdesign is worth a long good look. I’m particularly in love with their lighting options, especially their Milk Bottle Lights, but they also offer textiles, baby items (to die for), kitchen ware, jewelry, and so much more.

My Dream Bathroom

January 31st, 2008

If this was my bathroom; I would never leave it. Ever.

Diamond Spas offers custom steel and copper dream tubs, such as the Japanese Soaking Tub you see above - that’s my future bath by the way. Just beautiful. And if you need more than the sheer bliss that is the look of this tub, it’s also earth-friendly. The entire Diamond Spas line is created with recycled sheet metal. According to Diamond Spas,

“The recyclable percentage for stainless steel sheet metal lies between 60% and 80%. The copper sheet used in DSI fabrication is produced from 90% to 95% recycled copper. These numbers vary depending upon the amount of available recycled material and the mill manufacturing the metal. DSI’s stainless steel and copper vessel shells are 100% recyclable.”

Are you drooling yet?

Maybe rectangular is more your style.

I’m not sure of the logistics yet; but I absolutely must have one! One day… you’ll see.
