Succulent Wreath.

I’m in lust with this succulent wreath. It’s made up of five different varieties of succulent plants and the coolest part – it’s alive! And you only have to water it every few weeks.

Space Grill.

The Space Grill. Not as in aliens and UFOs, but as in multi-functional awesomeness.

“The unique, swing-out grill system comprises of two heavy-gauge stainless steel grills that height-adjust for different cooking temps. On the top grill, sit a serving dish, a saucepan or use as a back-up cooking or warming grill. The larger main grill swings out to enable quick fuel top-ups. Underneath the bowl is an integral ash collector and adjustable ventilation system. We also love the eco-friendly bamboo chopping board and built-in hooks for tools.”

Beach House.

All of my vacay time for this year is tied up between moving (which was, in fact, very un-vacation like) and my ten year high school reunion in September. With the price of gas and airline tickets I know lots of people are playing the staycation card this summer. It all sort of sounded like a load until I saw this personal beach house. Designed by Mary Bloch in 1962, the beach house is a little cabin woven in natural cane on rattan frame and aluminum structure then covered in waterproof canvas. If I had this little bit of privacy and shelter I think I could maybe, just maybe, pull it off.

Steady Stick Table + Wine Holders.

I want this. Even if it’s just to go out in my backyard and have a one person picnic. Totally worth it.

Designed to stick in the ground, these accessories take the spills out of picnicking. Bamboo tabletop screws onto a stake. Heavy-gauge stainless-steel holders include four for glasses and one for a bottle.

Croquet.

When I think of croquet it inevitably reminds me of summers as a kid. My aunt and uncle have the perfect side yard for the game and a wooden croquet set (probably from a garage sale) that our family spent endless hours playing with. This deluxe croquet set is decidedly more Great Gatsby-ish than “family fun,” but I love it none the less.

Folding Grill Tools.

I fired up the grill for the first time of the season last night, in the midst of a thunderstorm no less. Nothing fancy – just some honey dijon chicken for salads – but that time of year has definitely arrived. I’d love to own a set of these folding grill tools. They’re completely collapsable with folding pakkawood handles.

Reading Robin Book Birdhouses.

These Reading Robin book birdhouses are quite clever. Designer Dave Vissat stumbled upon this idea when he was making a birdhouse for his mother. He ran out of wood and resorted to using an old book as a roof, then began incorporating text and illustrations as well. (Note: for indoor use only!)

Meet CB2s modern version of the Luxembourg gardens chair – the Buena Park Bench. Park yourself closer to the ground, slouched in laziness with the sun shining on your face. Rust-proof with really pretty ivory cushions in moisture and mildew-resistant spun polyester. Buena park chair also available to match.
