Freestanding Indoor Waterfalls

Here’s a great idea for adding the soothing sound of water and a little privacy to a bathroom without blocking out light.

This new Bellaqua Series waterfalls from Harmonic Environments are free standing making them ideal for an apartment dwelling where you don’t want a permanent installation. This waterfall series requires no external plumbing and pricing begins around $12,000.

If you closely follow the practice of feng shui you may want to place this fountain in your home office or use it to add balance to the architecture of your home. In feng shui, water represents wealth and a well-placed water feature in one’s home or office is believed to bring good luck, health and prosperity to the people and places near where they are placed.

Tord Boontje 2009 Collection for Bizassa

I’m a huge Tord Boontje fan and was very excited to find pictures of furniture pieces he designed for Bizassa Home.

The Digital Memories Collection contains three new pieces inspired by the shapes and colors of nature. The tile patterns are named Summer Trees, Dark Waters and Night Vision.

The mosaic pattern on the Night Vision commode (right) echoes an amplified image of a pixelated black and white photograph. “We use digital images from cameras and video to capture moments of life, these become our memories. The collection…is based on the idea [that] images…trigger memories when you look at them” says Boontje.

Mirrors with Modern Glamour

A mirror is one of the most important accessory pieces for a bathroom. Mirrors can serve to bounce light and make a windowless bath brighter. Mirrors are a Home Stager’s favorite trick for making small bathrooms appear larger. Mirrors can also add instant color, whimsy or grandeur to what would otherwise be a vanilla space.

I recently found a company that believes mirrors should take center stage. Made Goods creates unique mirror designs with innovative materials such as coral, shells and hammered brass. Whether you want something that is bold, feminine or globally influenced, they have it all.

Coral is still a very hot trend right now and I love that the Giselle Mirror offers the look of natural coral without the harvesting of the earth’s natural coral reefs.

The new HD® Sinks, available in two colors and five styles, provide more options for homeowners who are looking for affordable luxury in a tight economy.
