Cool Tool Boxes

I just love these toolboxes by Alice Supply Co. Maria & Raili thought it would be great to take typically mudane household tools and give them a dose of color and pattern. The two started the company that is based out of Chino, CA and decided to give the name a nostalgic nod to the Brady's Bunch's witty housekeeper, Alice. How could one not want to clean with these fabulous looking tools.

Amy Butler Rugs

How gorgeous are these new rugs by Amy Butler. I just love her style. She has 19 new designs. The rugs are made from 100% New Zealand Wool, they are hand made and semi-sustainable using no harsh chemical washes, the industries safest chrome dyes and natural latex adhesive. You can purchase them online through her web site.

Oh Deer!

Since I have a deer theme going how interesting is this needlepoint deer head by Frédérique Morrel. You can see her other unique creations on her web site. Made from polyurethane taxidermy molds, covered in vintage needlework and finished with real antlers, each piece is unique and made by hand. Morrel came up with the idea to work with vintage needlework after her grandmother died and her grandmother's needlework was unceremoniously tossed out.

Truely wonderful.

Antler Chandelier by Nicole Davis

My good friend Niki Davis made this Ultra-hip chandelier. The chandelier was recently featured in Mountain Living Magazine. Niki and her husband Jared have a very hip glass studio in Crawford, Colorado called North Rim Glass Studio. Both Niki and Jared are amazing artists. Niki has a great eye for creative design. This fixture is a modern twist on a mountain living classic. I love this ultra chic light.
