Tired of randomly throwing your jacket and umbrella in the closet or, even worse, on the first chair you see? Well get your house in order and finally get something you’ve all always needed: a coat rack. This rustic Scroll Hall Tree is crafted of solid iron and steel and has a spot for your coat, your umbrella, and your Mack – if you’re feeling extra dandy these days. Great for any entrance, home or office, this coat rack is better than any closet… or chair.
This Temperature Sensitive LED Shower Light is a brilliant idea. When the water temperature increases, the blue light changes to red, ensuring you never have to step into a cold shower again. Very simple to install, and pretty cool-looking, too. So cool, in fact, you may just start showering in the dark (at your own risk, of course).
A must for any proper kitchen is a good quality wooden cutting board – both for style and functionality. It’s best to have at least two of different sizes in order to avoid cross contamination between items like poultry and beef and fruits and vegetables, but if you can only afford one for the time being then I’d go with a larger size. One of the best boards you can get is this Maple Board with stainless steel feet by award-winning BoosBlock . This version is 18” by 12” and also comes in American Black Walnut and American Cherry, just in case the standard Maple is not to your liking. A hard-finish and solid craftsmanship mean this board might be something you hand down to the grandkids. If they’re lucky, that is….
Like me, you’ve probably lamented the lack of storage space available within your dining tables. Well, lament no more, friends, for the designers at Brave Space have created the Hollow Dining Table to finally address the problem of over-burgeoning cutlery, and, I suppose, napkins. It’s crafted from a blend of Amber and Natural Bamboo which gives it its distinct cross-grain appearance. The storage units underneath the table surface are a bonus, really; if the table didn’t look this good it wouldn’t be worth the price-tag.
This series of prints by Sean Finnocchio from 33stewartavenue comes with all 6 from the series. The prints are all original photographs of apartments from the Los Angeles area, digitally manipulated and printed on quality archival heavyweight matte paper. Each piece is handmade and signed by the artist. Art in the abode is a sure-fire way to impress, so take note and start covering those bare walls with a little class. Order quick cause this series has a limited edition of only one hundred issues.
There comes a time in the life of most men when they realize they have to bite the bullet and invest in some cookware. Another trip to the dollarstore, right? Wrong. While it may be O.K. to grab the occasional piece of cheap silverware, cheap cookware is just not kosher. It will burn and thin and degrade, as will anything you cook on its surface. So if you’ve got the dough, I recommend something from All-Clad. One of the giants of the cooking apparel game, All-Clad make some of the best copper cookware around and are a favourite among professional chefs the world over (copper has 10x better conductivity than stainless-steel, allowing it to heat up and cool down faster than any other material). Included in this set are the basic items to get your collection started: a 10’ frying pan, sauté pan, sauce pan, and casserole pot with lid, all crafted in the U S of A and with a lifetime warranty. It sounds hokey, but you’ll honestly never need to buy any of these items ever again.
I really like these bowls by Kim Westad, a ceramics artist from Brooklyn, New York. They’re simple yet unique and, as the artist herself says, "adds an element of fun to your morning cereal." Each ceramic bowl is handcrafted, covered in a food-safe glaze, and available in a variety of whirl-colours. It’s not too flashy, but it might make your morning hangover just a little brighter.
Who doesn’t like wine? Uncouth brigands, that’s who! Ensure they stay clear of your abode and pick up this handy, not to mention environmentally friendly, wine rack. Made from 100% wool felt by Etcetera Media, the 6 Pack holds – yep – six bottles and collapses easily for storage if needed. Kinda rustic, kinda urban – a solid choice.
Black leather and cherry, this Eames lounge chair and ottoman is as classy as it gets. This artistically handcrafted design features 6-inch thick urethane foam and soft, supple leather upholstery. All pieces are hand crafted and assembled. The wood is seven-ply cherry, the braces and back are die-cast aluminum, and there is a swivel mechanism so you can swivel and challenge anybody behind you with a cutting remark. Just think: if the Eames is good enough for Frasier Crane’s pretentious buttocks, your ass will fit in it fine.
