These molded clear acrylic barstools from PlexiCraft are well priced and sleek .

I really like the four vessel “Ocean” sink by Bandini.  It has a much softer and more appealing approach to community sinks, as opposed to the porcelain or stainless steel sinks lined up in a row or the large circular gathering.

These Eco-Leader Foliage tiles designed by Refin Ceramiche are not only visually appealing and unique, but they are green as well.  These porcelain tiles are made up of at least 40% recycled material and can be applied on interior or exterior walls as well as residential and commercial floors.  Each tile is 24” x 36” and is the perfect accent and green choice for any project

I love this Crinoline Chair by designer Patricia Urquila for B&B Italia.

I first saw the Betty Blue wash basin at 100%Design 2007 Show in London. I love this fixture for its combination of uncomplicated functionality and artistic illusion. It is designed by Michael Sieger for Alape and represented by Dornbracht in the US. The sleek and minimal design is achieved through a basin-less structure and concealed drainage. The design is still being developed for US plumbing standards.

Despite the fact that I mostly l-o-v-e ANYTHING animal print, I especially like this “Safari Sofa” by Archizoom that I recently came across. Designed circa 1968, this concept of individual seats linked together would be perfect for any restaurant/lounge booth- Just throw a round table inside!

With the “Go Green” Movement gaining momentum in so many industries these days, it is both important and exciting to keep up with the eco-friendly trends in the design world.

I really like the website www.retromodern.com. They have a lot of fun items on it, not all furniture. I think it’s a great way to find a lot of modern manufacturers in one place. They also have a lot of the items/accessories you see in mags like Metropolitan Home and Interior Design.

I liked these hotel rooms because they are interesting and well priced.

The Copenhagen’s Hotel Fox “You are Here Bed” is fun and off the wall.

The “Ink Spill” bed – not for obsessive compulsives – hmmmm!

A perfect combo – 200 disco balls above your bed and in Paris at Hotel Amour.
