A Sprouting Idea

It's been a while since I've featured goodies for our furry friends, so I thought this sleek nest for your pets will be a good reason to do so. Besides being a cozy niche for your dog or cat, the Kokon, by Creative Push, also doubles as a planter for your favorite perennials. Its contemporary design will blend in seamlessly with most decor, making a fabulous statement in any corner of your home or terrace. The Kokon also comes with a small plushy pillow so your precious little ones can curl up and enjoy a nice nap. By the way, it can also be used as a litter box by simply inserting a plastic tray through the back access door. If you don't own a pet but enjoy the company of tweety birds, they also have Zozio, a cool birdhouse with a planter on top. Double the fun!! Have a super duper weekend.

Green Jewels

Terrariums often allow the most novice of gardener to show off a green thumb, especially those who love greenery in their pads but lack the time or space for a full-grown garden. There is a wide variety of terrariums in the market, but to find one that will go with a more contemporary decor is not an easy task. These slick miniature greenhouses, by Score + Solder, are beautifully designed to allow you to showcase your plants like little jewels. “A traveling gypsy, Matthew Cleland makes his beautiful pieces by hand, skills passed down through ten generations and continued by this magician. With a flask in one hand and a soldering iron in the other, he brings you one-of-a-kind pieces of art”. Happy Friday!

Save It From A Rainy Day

As we get ready to enjoy our outdoor spaces and take care of our plants and blooms, it's important to be conscious about water conservation. To help us in this effort, young Dutch designer Bas van der Veer has created a rainwater collection system that plugs right into your downspouts, providing a watering can that fills up automatically when it rains. The Raindrop Mini, inspired by a drop of water, was designed specifically to be used on balconies and in small gardens. We all know recycling rainwater is a simple way of reducing household water consumption, so this genius system makes it easy for city dwellers to store and reuse rainwater in urban environments.

Elevate Your Plants

I'm so looking forward to the arrival of Spring next week, and I bet some of you are feeling the same way. It's been a long and dreary Winter. So in order for us to get in a Spring state-of-mind, I found these slick and colorful planters for your home. Made out of powder coated spun aluminum, the Walter planters feature five small holes for drainage making them ideal for any outdoor environment. Whether hung on a wall, from a tree or even standing tall among your beautiful perennials, the Walter planters give your green thumb an array of options to display this season's blooms. They're great for small delicate succulents, cactus, herbs, or lettuces. Are you loving them as much as I am? Ah, remember Daylight Saving Time resumes this weekend, so don't forget to set your clocks one hour ahead before going to bed tonight.
