There’s a good reason that this mirror is a best seller. It combines all of the practical features you wish other mirrors had. The double sided feature allows you to see your self at normal size, or flip the mirror and magnify the part of your face you need to see in fine detail. Since you can mount it on the wall at which ever height you prefer, you’ll never have to stoop or stand on tip toes to get a glimpse of yourself.
The double jointed design with 360 degree movement around two axes allows you to position the mirror anywhere you want in space relative to your head. This means you can get a good look at the back, top, sides, (or even the view looking up from below ) of your head, if you mount this mirror near a regular wall mirror. You won’t have to hold it, so your hands will be free for other duties. The chrome is easy to clean and resistant to rust. This mirror is a most popular bathroom accessory, because it allows for grooming that’s harder to accomplish with a regular mirror.
This mirror has been time tested, and is sturdy. No wonder it gets such consistantly good reviews.

Here are some tips that will help you with designing any room in your home -
To change one’s perception of a room’s size, alter the scale of the objects within it.
One of the oldest tricks used to make a small room feel bigger, is to introduce a few overscaled objects. This tricks the eye into seeing the whole space as bigger than it really is. An example would be to add huge pots, vases or bowls, or a tall floor-to-ceiling door to a small room.
It is important to mix objects of different sizes, one large and one small, rather than sticking to medium sized d?cor items. When using objects of different sizes, there needs to be a visual link between them. This continuity is achieved using the same color and/or texture.
Oversized decor items help to make a large room feel less cavernous; they help the space to feel more intimate. If your room feels too large, buy the biggest items you can.
Small scale objects will make large rooms feel enormous, but paradoxically, these undersized d?cor items make moderate sized rooms feel smaller.
Large windows and large mirrors make rooms feel bigger. Sliding glass doors and French doors are very much like windows in this regard and can make the room feel much larger than it actually is. Just be sure that the view from these windows and glass doors is beautiful and has depth of field. If you are in a city, you can use planter boxes, window boxes, and hanging pots to create rows of plants at different heights. This helps the eye to interpret your balcony, patio, or the space between your building and the next one, as having more room to move around in than it really does. Looking through glass doors and windows at this natural beauty will give the room an open feeling, and you’ll experience the room as more spacious than it is.
Look at this handsome cabinet; what a great Decor item! Made from previously-used white oak wine barrels, this Full Barrel Cabinet on Casters features a stationary storage shelf and removable maple serving tray. The cabinet measures 38″H X 26″ in diameter, and will turn any room decor into a success. Whether your design theme is rustic country, sophisticated elegance, European wine tasting chateau, antique nostalgia, or pirate chic, this is the cabinet for you.
A great storage option that actually enhances rather than distracts from the room’s beauty, you’ll brag to all your friends about how you did the environment a favor by reusing wood rather than cutting down forests. This eco friendly alternative is also a good way to improve your room’s Feng Shui. The circular shape will guide chi effortlessly around the room without presenting sharp corners in any direction. Your shins will thank you for the consideration. Order two, and place them at intervals on opposite sides of a long hallway to cause Chi to flow like a meandering river towards the bedrooms and offices. Verry auspicious!
This design offers platforms for potted plants, and hiding places to stash your secrets. Just turn the cabinet door to the wall, and no one will know it’s there or think to check; after all, it’s clearly a wine barrel (wink). Theives and pirates will never discover your treasures without a map!

The Chinese consider a three legged toad to be a good luck symbol likely to bring good fortune and help you to make money, something we could all use a bit of help with these days. This frog is therefor a good part of a Feng Shui design for the kitchen, which is the symbolic room of abundance and wealth. If you have a bathroom, laundry room, or pantry room with no window, the Feng Shui masters suggest adding a red decor item. This little red frogy is just right for the job.
Children will love this bright and happy little frog. He helps turn any room into a jungle. A hanger on the back makes it easy to wall mount this pretty fella.

100% Bamboo fibers have moisture-wicking qualities and is naturally antibacterial. Bamboo fibers breathe and are softer than the finest cotton, especially after repeated washing .
A Consumer Reports article published in October 2006 reports that bamboo towels are, “25 percent softer after laundering, on average, than their all-cotton counterparts”.
These towels are fast drying and highly absorbent because of the structure of the individual bamboo fibers (long hollow tubes). Bamboo towels dry twice as fast and absorbs three times the water as cotton towels of a similar weight.
This set consists of a (1) washcloth, (1) hand towel, and (1) full size bath towel.
What a terrific gift idea. These are perfect for house warming presents and kids going off to college for the first time.
