The Bush Stanford Computer Desk brings an antique touch, blended with the deepest contemporary natural wood colors of Cherry into the home with a gentle and simple design. The lower front drawer allows the stack to be hidden while the elegant and rich cherrywood top hosts the keyboard and screen itself.

Elegant, simple yet still nice to look at, this computer desk allows functionality to blend with beauty. There are few things which can be quite as jarring as the ultimate messes which a rangy tangle of wires and computer paraphernalia can present to a room. This unit gives the possibility of containing the mess in a tidy yet still-attractive fashion. With drawers for storage and retrieval of paper work and additional accouterments of computing, the essence of a neat and reasonably tidy home can be heightened and even accented by a beautiful computer desk. In this case, the rich wood texture and the deep black coloring of the desk itself combine to make a very sensible remark all on their own.

How’s this for fantasy decor? Your kids will have so much fun playing in this Disney Princess Play hut! Designed to slip between standard twin sized mattress and box spring, this free standing play hut creates a fantasy princess canopy that will thrill your child.

Patented EZ twist technology allows for easy set up and fold away storage. The Princess Play Hut measures 42 inches long by 54 inches wide by 42 inches high.

The filmy drapes are also useful against mosquitoes so your child may sleep better and wake up with less itching. During play time, this Princess canopy becomes a place to hide and play. Four small tykes can sit inside and tell secrets, cast enchantments, and fantasize about their adventures. Stimulating to your child’s imagination, this canopy provides hours of fun. The structure also provides a barrier to afford your child a bit of privacy. This may help when kids share a room, yet need their own space. It is also easier to fall asleep at nap time, when there is less visual distraction.

The pretty colors and pictures of splendid royalty will delight your child. Familiar princess characters from Disney movies adorn the sides and surface on many sides, so your child may feel as if protected by guardian angels and their associated magic properties.

The Princess Play Hut makes a great gift!

Here’s the perfect decor item for an aspiring young fire fighter. Your child will love the versatility of this chair that folds out to become a mat. Not only is this Fire Truck sofa soft and comfortable, it looks cool and lets them imagine that they are responding to emergencies –heroes come to save the day!

The soft, plush cover is removable and washable. The inside is durable foam. Wide enough for two preschool aged kids to sit on together, and long enough to sleep on when folded out, this sofa bed is a very practical addition to your child’s room. You can have sleep over parties, story book time, a soft place to wrestle, and a place to fantasize about heroic adventures, all in one convenient piece of furniture.

If you practice Feng Shui, the red color and fire theme would be a perfect addition to the south side of the room, according to the traditional Compass School. If you are using the Western School orientation of the Bagua, you’d want this decor item against the wall opposite from the the wall containing the door through which you enter the room, which is the fame and reputation zone.

This sofa makes a great gift!

Four different chairs can feel like a set if [...]]]> Are you going bankrupt trying to buy a matching dining room set? There’s no need! By mixing and adapting disparate designs, we can create a cohesive and attractive dining room decor scheme that you adore. It just requires a bit of thought and a few tools.

Four different chairs can feel like a set if painted the same color, and stenciled with the same designs. Use the same stencil to ring the edge of the table with a border design, and viola! You have a matching set of chairs and table (even if you got each piece at a separate garage sale). This can also be done with rubber stamp art. Painting the furniture all the same color and then using ink or paint in a contrasting color to stamp the same design on each piece of furniture will unify the decor theme.

Using the same fabric to cover or upholster the chairs, and then using that fabric as a border on the table cloth and runners for the china cabinet will create a consistent theme as well. The eye will be drawn to the commonality of the color and texture, rather than the difference in the shape of each chair.

Remember that your dining room is where you eat and converse with friends and family, so dining room decor should not impede easy access, cleaning, or comfort. It is more important to have each chair be user friendly, than to have them match perfectly.

You’ll feel like a Raja in this meditation chair. This one also provides the perfect place to practice the art of baby massage, on or between your outstretched legs.

You’ll feel like a Raja in this meditation chair. This one also provides the perfect place to practice the art of baby massage, on or between your outstretched legs. Several other uses for this comfortable extended throne come to mind, but you’ll have to use your own imagination. If you have a baby, you must have figured it out at some point (wink).

Responsible use of forest products and finishes for woods is advocated by “Harmony In Design” . Towards this goal, they have created an entirely new line of meditation products made out of Mango wood and other sustainable resources. After 20 years the mango tree stops bearing fruit, and can then be harvested for timber. Since mango trees can be plantation grown, they prevent the clear cut practice that is damaging rain forests. Multiple uses of the Mango tree, make it a win win crop, providing the delicious and nutritious mango fruit that so many enjoy.

Look at the beautiful rose carved into the wood. The Raja boasts elegant craftsmanship from every angle, and yet has a tastefully rustic quality that makes it easy to incorporate into your room decor.

There is only one certified organic baby hammock you can buy, the Kanoe baby hammock . Its superior materials, versatility, and contemporary design set it apart.  From birth to about two years of age, the unique canoe shape safely cradles and comforts your baby.  The hammock bounces and sways, mimicking the sensation of being held and rocked by a parent. A specialized weight-calibrated hanging assembly enables this motion.  When bounced and rocked by hand, the Kanoe is especially effective at soothing and calming restless babies. The Kanoes are constructed from the finest quality certified organic cotton canvas,  and dyed with low impact, non toxic dyes. KANOE LLC is committed to providing the safest product to nurture your child. To accommodate different ceiling heights, all the Kanoe’s straps are adjustable. The adjustable straps also allow you to set the hammock at a tilt for babies with colic or reflux.

These straps attach to the bottom ring of the specialized spring assembly, which then attaches to an eye lag. The eye lag can be screwed into any solid structure, such as a beam, ceiling joist, or tree limb, allowing for a wide range of motion. The Kanoe hammock can be moved to anywhere around the home; just unhook the hammock from one eye lag, and then hook it to another. The more eye lags you install, the more places you can hang the hammock. The Kanoe is easy and quick to transport. It rolls up into a beautiful bag made of the same organic cotton canvas fabric. The Kanoe comes with 2 eye lags for ceiling mount, a carrying bag, the instructions, and its strap/spreader bar assembly, custom spring calibrated for infants up to 35 pounds.

This is an ideal gift for a baby shower!

This solid-wood platform bed is simple yet stylish,  made of sustainably grown, premium, southern yellow pine, grown and manufactured in the USA. The platform bed sits 15″ high off the floor, providing 10 1/2″ of space beneath for storage and for ventilation. Feng Shui principles recommend allowing free space beneath your bed to allow chi to circulate. This bed is perfect for a single mattress or futon. The unfinished solid wood is safe because there are no toxic chemicals emitted. Leave the bed unfinished, or you can easily add a non toxic finish or stain to match any decor. The bed comes in 2 compact boxes for easy transportation and ready-to-assemble (which makes finishing very simple). As allen wrenches are included, there are no tools required for you to have . If you want underbed drawers, they are sold separately (shown below).

If you think that safe, eco-friendly wood furniture is to be taken for granted, think again! Most wood furniture companies do not use wood from sustainably managed forests and plantations, and then they make it even worse by preserving it or constructing it with toxic adhesives and carcinogenic chemicals like formaldehyde that invade your body with toxic emissions. They then add insult to injury by adding poisonous paint and stains. When you find a company like Room Doctor, take advantage of their ethical standards and protect your family with Room Doctor unfinished solid wood furniture.

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!

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.

The KidKraft Boat Bed is just what you need to make your toddler think that going to bed is fun!

Who wouldn’t want to drift off to sleep floating over imaginary seas? This bed has decorative rails to keep toddlers from rolling off in their sleep, but the bed is low enough for them to climb in and out by them selves. This is a good transitional bed for little tikes who have out grown their cribs, but need an incentive to stay in their own bed instead of hiding in yours. Since their bed is much more glamorous, they’ll be proud to sleep in it. They can make believe they are sailing, fishing, scuba diving, and having adventures with pirates.

The rubber wood construction makes use of agriculturally grown trees that would have been destroyed after their latex production season anyway, so by using rubber-wood, you spare the ecosystem from deforestation. This wood should be kept indoors, and never put in real water, but it sure is fun pretending to be out on the high seas, or gently rocking in the marina. String colored lights for the marina effect, or play soothing recordings of waves and hump back whale songs for ambiance. Sea Shanties make good lullaby.

The bed has a convenient storage compartment, fits most crib mattresses (not included), and measures:

72.5″ x 32″ x 20.25″

Soft music, a glass of wine, a cool Summer, Spring or Fall evening out on the patio deck and a warming fire emanating from this gorgeous and very sturdy little dining table’s very entrails makes this elegant metal piece of patio furniture far more than one could even imagine. Completely versatile – the center can also be used as an ice tray – it has the gorgeous and textured appearance of fine metal. The mesh dome, congruent with the rest of the design provides a spark arrestor, keeping things safe year round and helping provide an ambiance that is awfully hard to come by. The sheer versatility of this cute item alone makes the investment in fine outdoor living worthwhile.

Made of recast aluminum and therefore holding its durable finish forever, the elegant design would sell the piece, even without its other benefits. 42 inches across, 22 inches high, it makes a fabulous leg rest as well, or so we hear. The inner tray is not small, I hasten to add. Fully 7 inches deep and 22 inches in diameter, it can hold some good size fire material and last a while.

Decorating a la [...]]]> Santa Fe style, also known as American Southwest, has a unique and very trendy look and feel to it. Think about it. This decorating style combines Native American and Spanish influences with the original American colonial style. So much history enveloped in this one sentence. So much variety in this one style.

Decorating a la Santa Fe can be a challenge. Characterized by bright colors, Native American patterns and designs and rough-hewn furniture, this style can be daunting to attempt at home without the help of a professional.

What you could do is start with a single item like this one:

A good idea would be to start with a piece like this recliner, then gradually add more Santa Fe touches around it. Think Navajo rugs and some bright fabrics and decor items, and you’ll be heading in the right direction: Southwest.
