| ARTISAN / ECOSALON HOME Aug 25, 2008 at 5:00 am by Tina McCarthy Fill Your Flask With… Flowers? The truth is that you’ve never been intrigued by the obvious, and things that aren’t quite what they appear to be are much more stimulating in your book. So, why not apply this philosophy to your décor collection? Though it resembles a flask, the Small Beside Curve vase instead contains three embedded glass vials that are perfect for holding a single stem of your favorite flowers. Handcrafted by a group of artisans in Thailand who are dedicated to sustainability, this sleek piece is made from bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource that flourishes in their village. Perfect for an understated tabletop, the natural hue of this unique vase will make vibrant buds pop. (Available at Hip and Zen for $34.50.) Related Posts ↓ |

| DECOR / ECOSALON HOME Jul 25, 2008 at 6:00 am by Kim Derby Lay Your Laptop on This At home I work at a vintage architect’s desk that’s big enough for my laptop, a printer, colored pencils, pens and a small army of accessories and implements.
