The title of this high quality lithograph is Moonlight Bear by artist Jay Zinn. The Green Shaker frame is made using state of the art framing equipment. The picture includes an acid free card board backing,  hanger, and picture frame grade glass. It comes with appropriate hardware and ready to hang, right out of the box!

Note the depth of view effected by the artist’s technique. This picture makes you feel like you are looking out a window, and that you have plenty of space. This is a good trick for making small rooms feel bigger.

Here’s my favorite bath mat. It won’t slip because it has 12 rubber feet for a safe grip on the floor. It’s rounded to keep you from banging into sharp corners. The shape is pretty and enables such harmonious decor designs.  The slots allow for drainage and evaporation, which will keep your feet out of the puddles, and then keep your floor from harboring germs and fungi like a regular bathmat would.

It’s made from strong durable bamboo wood, which is resistant to water, splitting, and mold. Bamboo is a renewable resource. It is quick growing and farmed, so you can feel good about supporting sustainable wood production. It is also gorgeous, and makes your bathroom feel like a finish spa or a Japanese traditional bath house. This will look great with the other accessories shown in previous posts and with those below.

How does this sound? You come home from a long day at work. You finally get the kids in bed.  Now you can take some time for your self. Fill the bath with hot water and slip in. Your aches melt away. Lie back and read your favorite book without getting it wet, sip a glass of sparkling apple juice with out spilling it or having to get out of the tub to reach it, munch on your favorite snacks without getting soap on them, or keep your soap handy where you can find it and it wont dissolve. With this Caddy, you won’t want to get out of the tub at all!

Waiting for a call, but don’t want to have to jump out of the water in a panic to reach the phone in time? Need to have your shampoo where you can get at it without looking or straining because you’ve got one arm around a wriggling toddler? Do you need your flea killing agents where you can reach them while trying to pin down a pet with Houdini-like abilities?

This Luciano Lorenzatti designed bathtub caddy is made of tough and beautiful bamboo and has expandable chrome arms that fit a variety of tub widths, and then slide in for easy storage. Bamboo resists cracking and mold, so it’s perfect for wet environments. Even better, bamboo is a sustainable eco-friendly crop.

The book support is included and even folds away when not in use. How convenient is that? These caddies make great gifts. For a very special occasion, gift wrap one with a lovely smelling and safe, non-toxic soap, like Tom’s Natural Moisturizing Bar Soap – Lavandin

or a pretty wine glass, like Cristal D’Arques Longchamp 5-3/4-Ounce Goblet,

or a great book, like Buffalo Gals and Other Animal Presences (Hardcover) by Ursula K. Le Guin.

This Bathtub Caddy is the perfect way to tell someone you love that they deserve a rest.

You could put a couple of these by your outdoor hot tub or jacuzzi to keep your feet clean while getting in and out. I like using them in the kitchen, because they don’t get as nasty as other mats when you drop food on them. They are easier to clean too.

How convenient! These 14 X 18 towels compress down to the size of a cookie. Get them damp to make them expand. They are packaged in stacks of 10 that are so easy to carry.  I’m taking a couple of these backpacking, popping one in my purse, jacket pocket, and bike basket. The antibacterial quick drying properties of bamboo make this towel perfect for mopping up sweat after a work out, or even just when I’m stressed at the office. These towels are also great for cleaning up spills and food mess in the kitchen. I love their softness and the way they stay lint free, characteristics that make them great for wiping smudges off glasses or crystal. Use these towels to rub oil into your wooden furniture or your wok. Put them in your kid’s school bags. Handy for cleaning up after pets.

Completely made from sustainably grown bamboo, these towels are unbleached and perfume free. This is an environmentally friendly product that’s tough enough to rinse and reuse . They are 100% biodegradable, so you can through them on the compost pile.

Don’t you love it when going green is this convenient? Where will stash yours? The beach bag? The glove compartment? The diaper bag? Your make up kit? Your back stage dressing room?

Christian? Why not have an eco-friendly baptism towel? Jewish? How about an eco-friendly towel for your Mikve? Wiccan? You’ll find these convenient if your familiar spills the water element on your alter. Amimist? Earth thanks you for chosing products that don’t destroy Her.

What a pretty carpet. The understated colors are elegant and tasteful with a whimsical natural motif that avoids the monotony of absolute symmetry. This carpet would look good over stained wood or stone floors and walls. Doesn’t this carpet remind you of a Japanese floral arrangement, with its long lines and changes of plane and direction? Why not add a few Japanese style accessories to complete the room decor? This would look lovely with a display of Japanese Cast Iron Tea Pot Tea Set /Pine Copper

or the Dragon Red, both by Kafu, or the Rosseto Japanese Style Cast Iron Tea Pots Gold Gray 18.6 Ounces.

The Glazed Ceramic 3 Pcs Japanese Sake Set In Gift Box would add just the right touch on display near this carpet too.

Bamboo accessories would also look great with this carpet.

Try the Lewis Hyman 0108106 Natural Laguna Bamboo Roll-Up Blind. 60″ W x 72″ L

Natural Bamboo Roman Shade – 52×72

This carpet is 100% Olefinm, a synthetic which  is resistant to abrasion, mildew, moisture, and static electricity. Olefinm is easy to clean. The fibers are colorfast because the dyes are mixed with the polypropylene during the production process. The carpet features Action Back Backing and Machine-Woven Loop Pile Weave.

Cream colored upholstery and wood furniture (unfinished or stained) with brown leather accessories will change the flavor of the decor to a more western style, while still maintaining the understated elegance and good taste this carpet inspires.

The Saddle Leather Wall Clock – Brown

and the 

Oxford Brown Leather Triple Time Zone Clock by PhotoFramesPlus

would be great for that purpose, as would be a hope chest made of sustainably grown wood and brown leather straps.

In 2 Green Baby Eco Herringbone offers soft neutral toned blankets,

and

Park B. Smith Agra Recycled Cotton 18 by 18 Decorative Pillow, Natural

is just the right sofa pillow to blend with the natural tones of the Mohawk Home Asian Woven Rug (coconut).

You just can’t go wrong with a gorgeous Persian style carpet. This one has the best color combo you could ask for, in a traditional design that has a timeless beauty. It’s a design element around which to base a room’s decor, and looks great with both unfinished and stained wood furniture. The sage green, wine, cream and peach accents give you several tasteful options for drapes and upholstery.  Lay this Area Rug over hard wood floors, earth tone colored ceramic tile, and cream colored wall to wall carpets for elegant visual harmony.

The rug is made of polypropylene fibers, so it can withstand the wear and tear of daily foot traffic and spills. However, the Home Dynamix Royalty Traditional Area Rug is so pretty, you may want to hang it on your wall with tall twin potted plants on either side of it, or a  chaise-longue underneath it.  It makes an excellent receding horizon at the end of a hall way or at the top of a stair landing, because of its layered design depth. If your room has structural arches or arched windows, this rug is a must-have. Add a few West Asian copper accesories, like a Morrocan style round table (or this Glass-Top Console Table – Copper)

, and the Turkish Coffee Set for Two

,or a tall traditional Arab tea pot/server like the one in this poster, which would look great framed on an adjacent wall.:

Old Arabian Coffee Pot and Jars, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Middle East Photographic Poster Print by Amanda Hall, 24×32.

For romantic lighting try the 2 Arabian Palace Amber Candle Holder lanterns

For the final touch, add an Aladin style lamp ( check out the 5″ Brass Aladdin Incense Lamp, Embossed)

Burn exotic incense to complete the ambiance, and you’ll feel like you’re in a West Asian palace.

It all starts with the right rug.
