Only Because I Am In Love…

Posted in Art, Ecofriendly Shopping, Furniture, Gallery Shopping, Living Room Furniture, Original Designs, Seating, Unique Items at 3:17 am by Deb Savvy

I was at a lovely holiday party recently and fell in love. No. Not with the host or hostess. And not with one of the other guests, either. I fee in love with this Easy Lounge.

OMG! Stunning isn’t it! And it looked fabulous in the room, too. And comfortable!

I loved it so much I had to track it down and post a picture – if only to pay homage to the great design and workmanship.

The Easy Lounge is hand-crafted with fine attention to detail. The smooth, sensous curves exhibit an Asian inspired minimalism that feels right at home in the contemporary world. Designed by Bannavis Andrew Sribyatta for PIE, represented at Vivavi, one of New York’s premier sources for original designer furniture and decor made from sustainable and ecofriendly resources.

Create Your Own Photographic Masterpiece

Posted in Art, Discounts, Personalized Gifts, Photography, Unique Items at 5:13 pm by Deb Savvy

I love this idea. You can convert any favorite photograph into a true work of art at Canvas On Demand. They take your prized photograph and transform it into an amazing canvas work of art. You have two rendering options to choose from; PhotoRealistic, bringing your photo to full life even more vivid than the original, or BrushStroke, which appears to have been produced by delicate strokes of an artist’s brush. They also offer two primary finishing options. The canvas can simply be stretched and framed to your specification, or it can be Gallery Wrapped (my favorite), stretching the canvas over a wooden frame so that the edges of the material are drawn around it.

And even cooler, Canvas On Demand has just introduced their new Photosplits™ – they “split” your photo into a 3 or 4 panel piece of Canvas artwork. These gallery wrapped canvas panels come together to make a photo-to-art screen. Sizes range from 36″x24″ to 90″x60″. The 3 or 4 panels are standard, but they can do any number of panels any size in any configuration!

Canvas On Demand recently relaunched their site with a fresh, updated look and feel, in improved customer interface and faster image uploads. And they’re celebrating with a grand re-opening sale that’s oh-so grand.

Want a Wonderful Water Feature?

Posted in Art, Fountains, Garden Decor, Hard to Find Items, Outdoor Decor at 5:20 am by Deb Savvy

With the spring gardening well underway and the summer outdoor entertaining season about to hit full swing, many of us are busily sprucing up our outdoor spaces. One way to add a lot of punch to your garden is a fountain or water feature. The problem is that a really nice water feature can be difficult to find. Unless you know where to shop. For a HUGE selection of unique and beautiful fountains don’t even bother to take a trip to your local garden center – shop the specialists. GardenFountains.com. In this case, it’s all in the name. Fountains are what they do best.

Weathered Sphere Outdoor Water Feature

I’m currently enamored of this Weathered Sphere Outdoor Water Feature ($374) but it’s hardly representative of the huge selection of fountains of different styles, materials, sizes and price points.

If you want a wonderful water feature take a surf over there. You’ve got nothing to lose but a few clicks.

I didn’t order my bag yet because I simply cannot choose only one. I’m so in love with so many of the bags that I just had to post a few more of my favorites.

Mt. Fuji Super Cyclone
First up is the Mt. Fuji Super Cyclone . Crafted from two designer license plates wrapped around 6-inch chrome hubcaps. There’s also a recycled rubber handle and a cool recycled rubber/bottlecap snap closure. Inside, it’s felt lined, and an includes an elastic lipstick for maximum convenience. Retail price is $79.

Elvis Pop Art FenderFlair
I’m also loving this Elvis Pop Art FenderFlair . Two license plates and unique chrome teardrop shaped ends. Crystallized twist-knob closure. Hundreds of Swarovski Crystals. 21″ leather strap. Fully-lined velvet interior with velvet pocket. Limited edition. Includes signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity. Love the Peter Max vibe! At $319 it’s among the most expensive bags they sell, but well worth the price.

Koi Fish Tattoo CycloneFlair
The Koi Fish Tattoo CycloneFlair ($180) takes tattoo art to a whole new level! Hand adorned with hundreds of Swarovski crystals. Metal chain. Pave crystal bottle cap closure and special RoadFlair “inspection sticker” add to the allure. Each CycloneFlair arrives with a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity.
