I’m so impressed with The Beargrass Cube – not only is it a unique and vivid piece for your home, but sustainable to boot.

The Beargrass Cube (seen on the left) has a center door panel made of eco-resin inlaid beargrass – the movement of the grass simulating the grain of the wood and shares the signature Cube Furniture (seen on the right) corner detailing and exposed veneer lines along the edges. You could use this as a great end table or in your bedroom or even as a cool piece in an office. The piece also would look great paired with the basic Cube.

New glittery dishware from French Bull! French Bull + glitter is a very good thing indeed. This new Glitter Bowl Set is a pretty BPA free delight that’s also shatterproof. As if glittery bowls of cereal aren’t enough, check out the coordinating goblets….

Granted, sustainable salt and pepper shakers are a small step, but every step counts.
The Wood Salt + Pepper Shakers above are available at Branch and way too slick. The salt shaker is made from reclaimed poplar wood, while the pepper shaker is made from reclaimed walnut wood. The white of the salt shaker is low-VOC milk paint (I LOVE milk paint). Both shakers feature a natural cork stopper and come in a recycled-paper gift box. Sleek and pretty – who knew the basic shaker could be so darn attractive?

I have a bad, bad Scrapile table obsession. I’ve posted that obsession elsewhere before (not sure why I haven’t here). In any case I adore their tables but was blind to the fact that yes, they actually have other nifty products. For example these lights above which were off my radar. Now they’re sort of up at the website, but when you click on them you get an error (or my click alone has issues). Hopefully they’re still making these very hip light fixtures though, because they’re dreamy and would look great in almost any house.

Honestly, if you’re having an elegant Valentine’s Day party, I’d really like to think that you’re using real dishes and cloth napkins. However, I know not everyone does, so if you’re going the paper disposable route, you may as well snag an eco-friendly and lovely set of party gear.

I LOVE Beehive Kitchenware. I have an unruly obsession with pretty little pewter items, and that’s exactly what Beehive creates – to an excess. Honestly, I could show just about anything they make, but being that you’re likely looking for home items, I tried to pick three handy household pieces. Starting with the beautiful little Meadow Drawing Hooks above. Like all Beehive Kitchenware items, these hooks are hand cast in lead free pewter. You can use them in the bath, bedroom, or kitchen. Really anywhere you want a splash of pretty and need to hang something.
Other pretty little items:
