This is a lovely piece. The hue of the wood is classically elegant without being pretentious. Its airy design leaves the room feeling more spacious and uncluttered.
It fits well in hall ways and small spaces where a bigger table would protrude so as to disturb the flow of Chi (Feng Shui) or cause you to bang your legs (Shin OW!)
This is also a good piece for keeping the peace, as couples are more likely to agree on it when choosing furniture. This table is aesthetically pleasing to all, and is therefore a great gift idea.
Tie together design elements by including several of these tables on a split level or in an over-sized room. Create design symmetry by putting them on both sides of a feature such as a large ceiling to floor window, french doors, or raised bed.

Have you found your kids balled up in the corner of their beds because they've been crowded out by their furry friends and dolls?

We can help!

Here's a neat way to outline a window, archway, ramp, or pillar. Look around your home. What is the most interestingly shaped design feature? Would it look beautiful if it were outlined in the dark by tiny white lights?
Try running this tube lighting along the lines you wish to accentuate. This would be especially pretty along the arch of a bridge in a garden pond, or overhead along archways in the room's architecture. An atrium lit this way would be especially pleasing, as would the ceiling of a dining room. You'd feel as if you were picnicing under the stars.
This clear PVC tubing encases small light bulbs that are built in. The light bulbs last for 35,000 hours, and the diameter of the tubing is only 3/8 of an inch. This means it is easily used in places where you would trip over something larger that protrudes farther. That's why it is often used to light walk ways in gardens, or steps in theaters and restaurants.
The rope comes in different lengths, although the one shown here is a close up view of part of the shortest (6 foot) model. They can be attached end to end to make a long continuous strand.

At a first glance, this weird looking gadget may seem out of place on a decor items list, however, there's more than meets the eye here.

This nifty thing can actually effect an entire room, creating a magnificent lighting effect that is sure to catch the eye. It has a little crystal hanging there, a genuine Swarovski crystal that creates a prism, breaking light into a striking, and some would say sublime, light rainbow cast around the room.
This is a self contained unit, with the crystal rotating to create its rainbow effect, all powered by solar energy. Place is in a well lit spot, such as next to a window, and let your guests go “wow”, as they enter your room.

Look how cute this lamp is! What could be better for your nursery or kid's room? The elephant and frog are a fun base, complimented by the animals like the giraffe on the lamp shade. The perfect touch, however, is the monkey swinging from the pull chain that turns the light on and off. Not only is it easy to grab, its so cute and funny, that it becomes as much a part of the decor as the lighting itself.
The base is sturdy and stable, and the greens are reminiscent of jungle foliage. There is a 6 piece crib set that matches this lamp in a color pallet of greens decorated with the same jungle characters. Not to be confused with the 6 piece crib set in earth tones featured in the previous post, you can view the greener set when you click on the lamp for more details. The matching crib set is shown under items frequently bought together, at the bottom. Also, check out the crib mobile with the same characters, by NoJo.
The soothing greens add a serenity to your nursery, as if you had added several ferns and tropical trees, like potted banana trees, to the room decor.
A bit of green as a trim around the window, or as a stencil up where the walls meet the ceiling will tie the decor theme together nicely.

Here's a fun wall design element. This cheerful looking frog was hand cut from steel drums and hand painted in Haiti. What better way to enliven a tropical or bamboo theme than with a splash of color? In addition to the sultry island evenings this art piece brings to mind, a reminder of fragile rain forest eco systems prompts us to waste less. Made from a steel drum, this piece of art is an example of creative reuse.
The Chinese consider a three legged toad to be a good luck symbol likely to bring good fortune and help you to make money, something we could all use a bit of help with these days. This frog is therefor a good part of a Feng Shui design for the kitchen, which is the symbolic room of abundance and wealth. If you have a bathroom, laundry room, or pantry room with no window, the Feng Shui masters suggest adding a red decor item. This little red frogy is just right for the job.
Children will love this bright and happy little frog. He helps turn any room into a jungle. A hanger on the back makes it easy to wall mount this pretty fella. Approximately 9″ W x 9″ H, this extremely durable metal decor item will last, and is appropriate for use in your garden as well. Hung on a door, this frog helps small kids to identify their own room.

The traditional Bagua mirror is an important part of Feng Shui decor and design. This authentic Chinese Bagua mirror features the traditional 8 sided trigram frame, and the concave reflective surface to reverse negative energy. Made of shiny metal rather than glass, the Bagua mirror is tough enough to weather the elements without breaking.
The Bagua mirror is always used on the outside of your home or office, unless you are in an apartment where you can not access the outside walls of the building. In that case, you would hang the bagua mirror in the window facing out.
Placement of the mirror depends on which Feng Shui cure is needed. If you place it on the out side of your door, you deflect Sha Chi (negative energy) trying to enter. If a neighboring building has a corner pointing at yours building, that is considered a “poison arrow” that brings Sha Chi. The cure is then to put a Bagua mirror on the outside wall of your building where the poison arrow would hit, to deflect the Sha Chi. If you live at a T junction, or other type on intersection, you may need to hang a Bagua mirror on a tree trunk or external wall to deflect the Sha Chi from the road.
This Bagua mirror is so affordable, you can buy as many as you need to cure your Feng Shui problems.
They make great gifts too!

The white shade is shaped like a paper fan and will create an elegant understated look that will not dominate the room. It will add atmosphere and an Asian flavor without demanding attention.

This 36 by 72 inches window shade is so easy to install, you can stick it on instantly when you need privacy or to block the light. The shade can be trimmed down to fit even a window that is 36 inches wide, or left as is for a window that is 72 inches wide. It comes with a self adhesive holder for windowsill mounting, and can be installed in seconds. The shade is made of durable paper, and can be easily removed. This is an economical way to shade a half circle shaped window.
Here's a suggestion: Use this fan shaped shade on the window, and then add a few Asian accent pieces around the room. Try a Japanese theme, with an iron tea pot and Raku glazed ceramic cups. Add a floral arrangement of cherry blossoms on long thin branches, and throw in a white porcelain Neko cat for luck.

Here is a decor item that is perfect for a study, library, workshop, or office. This is the perfect clock for someone who likes to know how things work. The visibility of the gears is an elegant tribute to fine engineering and craftsmanship. The Rosewood stained wood paired with the black columns make a sophisticated design statement. The hour and minute hands are done in serpentine form, and the second hand sweeps around to provide accurate time keeping. The bell sounds on the hour, and the Silvertone Roman numeral chapter ring adds just the right touch to this 10 inch high sculpture. With a clock this well made, of course there is quartz movement.

According to Feng Shui, the black columns make this a good decor item for an entrance way, the visible gears and clear encasement make it right for the knowledge zone of your home or office, and the rose wood makes it a good choice for the family zone.
This is a good housewarming gift, graduation or congratulatory gift, coming of age gift, and birthday present.
