Books as Art
October 29th, 2008 § 3 Comments
I’m not sure about you, but I’m an avid reader and am constantly trying to come up with creative ways to store all the books I absolutely can’t part with. Then I recently found the “Concealed Shelf” from the european boutique Pure Deco. As you can see above, not only do these shelves help with storage, but they are an inexpensive way to feature your books as art, just as they should be!

D.L. & Co. Candles
October 28th, 2008 § 1 Comment
I’d seen D.L. & Co. products online, but it wasn’t until a couple days ago at Gump’s that I actually got to smell them. I’m a total sucker for home fragrance and perfumes and the D.L. & Co. candles did not disappoint. My two favorite scents were Tasmanian Boronia and Absinthe (although in all honestly, while this fragrance was intriguing I’m not sure I’d want my apartment to smell this way)
When I got home, I looked up the D.L. & Co. site (dlcompany.com), which has a sort ”lux goth” feel and does make you pause to think a bit about the art of alchemy.
On the site, I learned about the L.A. based company who also does custom fragrance (by appointment only) and the founder Mr. Douglas Little who (according to his bio) “aspires to turn leaden monotony into golden bliss”. I think that might be expecting a lot from one candle, but I can say they smell delicious and will make your home smell divine.

Take 5

In an attempt to be green, reusable shopping bags are becoming an everyday necessity. Not that there’s anything wrong with the ones sold at Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s, but being green doesn’t mean you can’t also be fashionable, which is the great thing about the “Take 5 Tote” from Fishy’s Eddy. For just $5.95 have fun being green and pay homage to the 5 Boroughs all at once! If you don’t live in Manhattan, you can purchase it online at www.fishseddy.com
