Check out these neat and innovative products I stumbled upon at uncommongoods.com. This online marketplace offers fun designs from chairs made out of retired athletic equipment to table lamps made from old instruments!
Not only does uncommongoods.com offer creative and exciting merchandise they also produce products in a socially and environmentally responsible manner featuring sustainable and recycled components. If that wasn’t enough, they also offer a Better to Give Program which donates a dollar from every order to a non-profit organization of your choice!

MTH Woodworks is to thank for these beautiful pieces! Design duo Michael Host and Tanja Hinder from Vancouver combine salvaged tree stumps and branches with organic resin, creating truly one-of-a-kind furniture pieces. MTH Woodworks’ mission is, “to connect people with BC’s beautiful surroundings by fusing together raw natural elements with organic resin.”
I love that each piece is unique and have their own beautiful characteristics. What a bummer that currently there are no LA distributor but hopefully there will be soon – my fingers are crossed!!

While perusing one of my favorite blogs, Coco Kelley, I came across this magical image that I wanted to share! The symmetry is charming, the mirrored surfaces add elegance, and the unicorns are simply stunning!
To create your own elegantly flanked equine entry, try mounting a pair of iron horse heads , such as these which are available at Rummage, for the same effect! Not quite the same, but not bad don’t you think?!

Say hello to my new favorite chair! Or should I say cradle? Designer Richard Clarkson in collaboration with Grace Emmanual, Brodie Campbell, Jeremy Broker, Eamon Moore, Kahlivia Russell and Joya Boerrigter have created this wonderful cradle for adults.
According to the project developers, “Cradle is about creating a safe, comfortable and relaxing environment in which the user can dissipate the over-stimulation of their senses. The design was heavily directed by a synthesis of research into Autism and children with Rhythmic Movement Disorder (RMD), as well as saftey, sustainability, function and aesthetics.”
This Cradle screams maximum relaxation!
