Marimekko

I love Marimekko fabrics. The patterns are very cool and they are great as large wall hangings. All of these fabrics can be ordered from Textile Arts . Most fabrics have additional color choices, just visit the website to see more. Here are my favorites...

Garden Products: Woolly Pocket

I've been seeing advertisements for these things in Dwell for a while now but just recently checked them out. They are felt (actually made from recycled plastic bottles) pockets that you can plant, well plants, in. I'm a little obsessed. These are perfect to fill large wall space, indoor or out. Actually, they're perfect to fill any wall space.

starts at $39 for one hanging pocket from Woolly Pocket

Soap Dispensers

I recently redid my kitchen and have been on the look-out for a dish soap dispenser. This was surprisingly more difficult than I thought! Here are a few good ones....

$22 from Pottery Barn


I like the vintage, french feel. It would be a nice counterpoint to my modern kitchen.

$38 from Unica Home


On the more expensive side, but it's so cute! It's also very functional, another plus.

$19.99 from Bed, Bath and Beyond

Clean and simple with the added bonus of the sponge holder.
