So, I was searching the web looking for a fun bookshelf for the kids' playroom and came across this little guy, the Pack of Dogs Aguayo Freestanding Bookshelf by Pro Teak. My boys love dogs, so this was perfect. Plenty of room for a few of their favorite books. The only problem is sometimes they want to play with it like its a toy when they should be reading! :)

Parents Magazine

Check out this Rolling Room Divider by Bridgewater Gallery that is featured in the September 2010 issue of Parents Magazine. The feature 'Creative Ways to Share a Bedroom' shows parents inexpensive ideas on how children who share a room can still be unique and individual.

It's the middle of November but it feels more like September. This weekend, I took the dog for a long walk and of course, half way out the door I realized that I was wearing way too many layers. So, off went my hat and jacket. We've had something of a warm spell but all of that is about to change. The weather man is predicting a cold front and I wish I was prepared! It's bad enough waking up in the morning and getting out of bed but, exiting the shower when you are cold and wet is a lousy wake-up call. Amba Towel Warmers are the answer to my dreams. Amba makes showering in the winter bearable. Not only can I warm my towel before use, I can also make sure that my towel isdry by the next use. Next, on my wish list...Heated Floors!

Dual Purpose Kitchen Island

Products that are versatile and have dual-purpose always win my vote! I found this well-built kitchen island that doubles as a breakfast bar. The kitchen island is available in three stylish finishes: Cottage Oak, Ebony, and White. One of my favorite features of this island is the open and enclosed storage space so, clutter can be hidden and prized possessions displayed for show. All you need are the stools and viola- enjoy quick and casual dining.

Glass Top Computer Desk

Having my own workspace at home is essential. I used to have an ultra-traditional antique desk, but since my little home office is in the basement, I thought I might break my rules a little bit, and look towards a computer desk with modern sensibilities. I love the styling and the openness of the Mission Glass Top Computer Desk by OSP. The classic mission design has a contemporary look with a glass top and a slide-out keyboard drawer. There is a bit of storage space in between the glass top and the keyboard tray for smaller items, like office supplies. Now all I need is a filing cabinet, especially one on wheels, to make my home office complete. Lawn service Louisiana

Mobile Serving Cart

Spring is finally here--according to the calendar--and after a long and snowy winter, I am looking forward to getting outside. Once the weather warms up, we will spend countless hours outside working in the yard, having meals and just enjoying the sunshine. The Achla Mobile Serving Cart is so versatile it can go from the kitchen to the garden, and to the patio too. I can use the cart to help me get my new plantings where they need to go in the yard, or I can serve food fresh from the grill to my family and friends, indoors or out. The top tray is removable, which makes it great for passing hors d'oeuvres or carrying lunch outside to the deck. The bottom shelf has holes to fit three pots. The serving cart is available in Antique White and Eucalyptus finishes and folds up for easy storage.

Composter

I've been thinking about composting. It really wouldn't be that difficult to do if I had the right tools, and it would be so beneficial to the environment. Yard cleanup would be so much easier too. The Achla Designs Spinning Composter is made of recycled plastic and has a capacity of 7 cubic feet. Mixing blades break up the larger clumps. The composter features a sliding door that allows easy access but also prevents animals from getting in. Composting saves money on fertilizer, because you're making your own, but also lessens the amount of waste dumped into the landfill, which is a great idea.

Revolving Wine Rack

I am always looking for the perfect wine rack to hold a smaller wine collection. I never have more than half a dozen bottles of wine on hand at any one time. Counter space isn't plentiful in my kitchen, so that means the wine rack I choose needs to work on the floor. The Heritage Revolving Wine Rack from Butler is compact in size, but displays wine bottles beautifully. The small table top is a great place to put a plant or a sculpture or some other item for display. The wine rack revolves on the base, so I can reach any bottle without any trouble. Made of solid woods, rattan and metal, this wine rack holds eight bottles of my favorite wine.

Baker's Rack

My kitchen isn't large enough for a baker's rack, but I think I might have room just inside the dining room. The style of the Parsley Baker's Rack from Powell would fit right in with my Southwestern-style farmhouse furniture. I like the open feeling and all the storage options. The baker's rack is made of steel and has three tempered glass shelves, a 6-bottle wine rack, four stemware holders and one grillwork shelf. The lower shelf would be ideal for a plant or a decorative floral arrangement. The storage and design possibilities are endless--I can already imagine several different ways I can use this baker's rack in my home.

Mounted Garage Vacuum

If I had this Surface Mounted GarageVac from InterVac, I wouldn't worry so much about all the pet hair in my car. With a 60-pound German Shepherd/Husky mix there's a lot of light hair. She sheds constantly, so frequent vacuuming is a given if I want to drive anyone else anywhere in my car. So much easier to maneuver than a shop vac for cleaning the car, a wall-mounted vacuum enables me to clean my car without even leaving the garage. The 12 amp motor is powerful and has 100" of water lift, so it can also keep the garage, boat or RV clean. The HEPA filtration system removes dust particles and allergens. The central vacuum comes with a 1-piece wand, a bare floor tool, a dust brush, an upholstery brush and a crevice tool for additional cleaning power.
