Truly unusual, triangular clock bringing the Retro back to any room. Great for a retro kitchen design, or a high modern living room design. This clock retails for $29.99 at Wrapables, a great price for a truly unique item.

Modern Gears Wall Clock

This clock was just too cool to leave off of the list. All of the exposed gears make it really unusual, and it would be a great gift for an engineer or mechanic who likes to see how things work. I love this unique, interesting clock, and would make a great gift for anyone. Retails for $93.95.

Pillows I adore...

I love Inhabit designs, a cross between nature and simplicity with some asian theme brings a modern sophisticated sense to interior design.  While somewhat pricy, Inhabit designs are classic and will last you making them worthwhile the investment.  I'm featuring some of my favorite pillows from Inhabit, but if you like the style, you have to go to the website to explore all of their designs.

Beautiful Environmental Tote Bags

Tote bags are the new fad in environmentally sound, green living. Instead of wasting paper and plastic bags, tote bags are the recommended way to do your shopping. Conveniently, they are a unique, fun way to express yourself while helping the environment. There are tons of tote bags on the market, and I've just chosen a selection of a few of my favorites.


This is on the high end of totes, but it remains one of my favorite as it is made of neoprene, which insulates and protects groceries so it is perfect for supermarket shopping. It retails for $39.95.


I love this tote bag. It is organic printed with vegetable based inks, and the design is simple and classic. It retails for $29.95.

Two Gorgeous Lamps, Simple but Chic

Looking for lighting for my living room decor, I was inspired by several simple but incredibly chic lamps that I found which I personally considered as lights for my own room.  In this collection, I was really interested in shapes and geometry, and I went for modern lamps that would make the average room look sleek and sophisticated.

This would make a beautiful lamp replacement for the standard table lamp.  The symmetry is gorgeous, and the materials make it a contemporary lamp while keeping it natural and earthy.  Price $109.95

This lamp while simple has a very strong presence and would perfectly accessorize any formal, modern room.  The lamp black and white as it is would be perfect to complement any color scheme  and and it would work in both a living room and dining environment.  $96.95

Vases

Vase Search
Today I have gone on a search to find the most gorgeous vases on the internet and to bring them here to you.  A vase can easily serve as the focal point of your room, or it can serve as a backdrop to flowers.  I've found vases for every purpose.  Some affordable, some impossible to afford but all beautiful and unique.

The Ideal Bud Vase

I am obsessed with the dramatic shape of this vase.  While simple, it is extraordinarily chic and makes a strong, modern statement.  Affordable at only $39.95

This is an outstandingly simple vase.  Not only is the design fantastic, but I think the two textures juxtaposed against each other brings out the softness of the base. $59.99

So the word of the day seems to be simplicity. This is another beautiful vase that exemplifies how just a little bit of color can bring out wonders in the natural curve of a vase. This is a bargain at only $21.99.

This is a shout out to my modern side. I will eternally have a soft spot for contemporary colored glass, and I think this vase is fabulously delicate while maintaing the distance of a more modern piece.  This is entering the pricey realm at $158.00.

I simply had to include this because of it's unusual shape. While for me, the color could be more ideal, I think that the neck and the shape are really unusual. It's also fairly affordable at $44.95.

This gorgeous vase collection is perfect to display simple stems. It goes great in an asian decor environment or with just the simple contemporary style. Typically runs $59.95 but it's on sale for $49.99.

This vase speaks for itself and is extremely affordable. This is a phenomenally unique item available to the average person. Gorgeous. $13.95 on sale for $9.95.

The Larger Vase

This gorgeous vase fits perfectly into a shabby chick interior design. I love it because of the unusual flower accents and it's currently on sale for only $47.96.

So this definitely strays from my typically modern tastes, but I think that this piece makes such an elegant statement, and unlike many of the other vases which have been beautiful in their own right and maybe a little distracting, I think this vase makes a dramatic honor to the flowers you place inside it. It costs $33.95.

Homage to Jonathan Adler!

This collection would not have been complete without a touch of color and happy from Jonathan Adler's collection. I love how these vases make fabulous design accessible, and these sets will definitely make style pop in your apartment or home. They are very affordable at $52.95 and have adorned the sets of The Today Show, Will and Grace, and Sex in the City.

The Fringe Collection

This is my absolute favorite collection of affordable housewares, but it has to fall into your taste.  For me, the collage of colors and the antique contrast with the contemporary feel are exactly what I look for in my decor.  Decide for yourself, but I highly recommend them.I believe they are the epitome of "Beautiful Objects."
