$100-500

I’ve been so out of it since my daughter started kindergarten that you’d think I was the one who had to go to school every day. Now that she’s in school, I’m trying to get back into the swing of things, and that has proven harder than expected. Part of the reason I haven’t been posting regularly is that I’ve had quite a bit of graphic design work, but it’s also been because of sheer exhaustion. While I screw my head back on straight, I do have some great handmade products to share with you:

A few weeks ago, I sent out a tweet about one of my favorite catalogs:

ikeatweet

I know that many design enthusiasts eagerly anticipate when stores like IKEA and Pottery Barn release their catalogs and new products. And while I like to ogle these catalogs and can appreciate the fabulous design, I’m much more excited when companies like Viva Terra debut new products. Why? Because I know they have been sustainably made and I can feel good about buying anything I discover that I can’t live without :)

companystore-sheets

I will completely admit that I have a hard time decorating with traditional neutrals: white, off white, beige, ecru…whatever you want to call it. I’ve seen so many homes and rooms with almost-white walls and very light, neutral furnishings that I love. But I have a hard time creating that kind of look myself. What I’ve learned is to make neutrals work, you have to add texture and elements of interest, even if they aren’t colorful. This bedding is a great example of a neutral textile that is still very interesting.

straydog-birdlamp

I swear, writing for this blog, I fall in love every single day. One day, I’ll think I’ve found the ultimate piece that completely defines my style and would make me happy for the rest of my life (much like the Trees nightstand and dresser by Iannone Design that I posted yesterday). Then, I’ll go on about my business and, by accident, bump into something else that I feel like I can’t live without. Enter the Sort Sol Lamp, by Stray Dog Designs for Anthropologie. As obsessed as I am with bird motifs, it’s been a long time since I’ve found one that uses birds in a new and different way. This lamp just makes me happy.

litterrobot1

It’s been a long while since I’ve featured a product for pets, and when I saw this one, I knew it was time. The Litter Robot is precisely what it sounds like: It is a contraption that automatically separates messes from kitty litter so you never again have to scoop cat poop manually.

Now, I am not a cat owner, and although I’m actually really fond of cats, my dislike for the litter box might stop me from ever owning one. I have lived with a cat, and although I had no problem feeding her and even rubbing her down for “baths,” I HATED clearing the litter box. It was always a stomach-churning task for me, and I generally have a pretty strong stomach.
