Theme Of The Week: Eco-Friendly Finds.

I'm happy to announce that eco-friendly is the new black. And rest assured, it's a water-based, low-VOC black too!

Reusable, "To Go" Mason jars, from Poppy and Pearl.

Whether it's salvaged, recycled, repurposed or reusable, we're loving the momentous consumer shift towards eco-friendly goods.

Ecobag "Circles" tote, from Pawling.

And while we're on the subject, we think this may be the perfect time to change the stigma behind re-gifting.

Organic, vegan soap samples, from Prunella's Soap.

After all, just because a gift doesn't jive with your taste, doesn't mean it should end up in the storage closet.

Recycled billboard banner storage bin, from Notty Pooch.

This week, we're bringing you our favorite eco-friendly finds. So grab your pencil and paper (just grab a sheet from your recycle bin) and get ready for a week filled with earth-friendly gift ideas!

Gifts For The Industrial Dad.

Vintage stool, from VintageSeventyFive.

Vintage radio dial belt drawer, $39.

Vintage gas station number, $24.

Vintage cast iron train, from VintageSeventyFive.

Let's just go ahead and admit it, we have absolutely no idea what our dad really likes. Sure, he graciously accepts the generic tie or dress shirt. And he smiles with glee whenever bags of pistachios are presented (surely this isn't just my dad, right?). But we think the dads of this world deserve something uniquely special this year, wouldn't you agree?

And we've found just the thing--vintage! More specifically, industrial vintage from VintageSeventyFive's Etsy shop. And by the way, we absolutely love this shop! Honestly, what's not to love about these potential Father's Day gems: vintage scales, numbers, trophies, storage containers, and one of our personal faves, vintage cash register flags.

Do yourself (and your dad) a favor and pay a visit to VintageSeventyFive. It's time to end the generic gift-giving cycle. Trust us, your dad will thank you!

Theme Of The Week: Spring Cleaning.

Spring cleaning is more than a yearly dusting of the blinds or the recycling of old magazines, it's a chance to redesign not only your space, but your life.

We start with one of my favorite Etsy shops, Old New Again. They make new look old and then new again, if you catch my drift.

Hand-painted wooden house (with secret stash compartment).

"Chez Moi" hand-cut wooden sign.

This week, we'll be spotlighting our favorite "Spring Cleaning" finds to help you get your space (and life) in order:  organizational/storage solutions, design upgrades, artwork makeovers, vintage renewal and more! So go get started on that closet of yours--just be sure to drop by this week and check us out. Have a great week!
