Home Goodies...


Happy Monday! 


My weekend was packed with family, food and festivity...not too much time for relaxing, but sometimes that's a good thing! On the home front, however, I did manage to stumble upon a few goodies to share with you. First, how genius is this refrigerator in an armoire! The Meneghini La Cambusa unit would be perfect in a studio apartment...or in a pool house, perhaps. For a mere $41,500 you could have one, too!






The price point may be a bit of a stretch for most, but it is a pretty smart idea for a small space.




The new Zara Home Collection has finally launched in the US and it's getting a lot of attention from the blogosphere and beyond. As with their clothing collections, the categories are packed with style at a ridiculously affordable price point. I will say, however, if copying is the highest form of flattery, Zara has done some mighty fine flattering. The collection is "inspired," but there are a few stand-outs. My favorite pieces are...


the Cube Tumbler...



the Nilo Night set would be much nicer than the plastic Volvic water bottle sitting on my nightstand...





these linen throw pillows look hand painted...






Lawrence Dinnerware... I love a mix and match table setting and these would be fun for every day use or to dress up a festive table.









And...how about a sexy fire extinguisher? The old classic has been reinvented and renamed by DNC Tag, a Belgian company. Now called the SAFE-T, there's no need to hide these babies in your broom closet. I think they'd make a clever house warming gift. I am SO getting one of these!! 




a leather version, for the guy who has everything... 



I'm thinking of the gold one for me...
