Square, Metal, Knit, & Modern:
Anything But Traditional Wreaths

For those of you who don't want your front door looking like the White House or a Department Store, how about trying a wreath that isn't the traditional pine with poinsettias?

For those less adventurous, how about a square wreath or a snowflake-shaped wreath?
And for those who want anything but traditional, try a metal op-art wreath or recycled street sign wreath.

Below are some cool wreaths, that are anything but traditional, available this season.

Finally, A Truly Luxe Bean Bag Chair: The Cowch



Goodbye Fatboy, Hello Cowch!

Awhile back I wrote a post about Fatboy products. And it wasn't the most flattering. Why?
Because I saw FatBoy as the New Millenium version of the 70's bean bag chair. And very overpriced.

But now I've spotted the Cowch (no pun intended). And this, in my humble opinion, is a bean bag chair worth buying. (by the way, these are not the "cowches' that are made to look like real stuffed animal toys, that's a different company)

Not only does it look incredibly comfortable, but it looks expensive ---and it is-- and as though it won't end up in rec rooms and flea markets in several years.



Above: Each one is unique and large enough for two people.





Cowches measure 140cm x 170 cm and are made with real cow skins on the upper side, Bisonyl on the under side. They have quality four time stitching and are filled with 100% recycled polystyrene.


You can choose from multiple real skin options:
