Paper Bag Vase
August 29th 2008 | Home & Garden
No, those aren't real paper bags, but they do bear a rather canny resemblance - in fact, some could call it uncanny. Handmade in Canada, these vases are designed by Michel Harvey to look remarkably like real paper bags, though unlike their likenesses, they're ceramic and perfect for flowers. Go ahead and water them all you want - these accents can handle any liquid refreshment.

A Bed For Your Dog
August 13th 2008 | Home & Garden
Furniture isn't just for people: dogs like to be stylish and comfortable too. The Doggy Boy from Fat Boy is an easy, attractive alternative to poofy, frumpy, design-indifferent dog beds. It comes in two sizes (to accommodate anything from a Yorkie to a pair of Rottweilers) and, best of all, cleans up with a wipe of a damp cloth.
