This was sent in by a David M a long time reader. He is currently remodeling a mid-century modern home in Renton just south of Seattle. While redoing his bathroom he wanted to put in a vanity similar to the Kohler Purist but didn’t want to spend $1,500. With a little creativity [...]

Snap-A-Party

14Nov07

I found this great Snap-A-Party set over at Night Lab. If you haven’t heard of Night Lab before, you should check it out. It’s an online store that features unique design, concept and style. It doesn’t have a lot of housewares, but it does have some stuff I have not seen anywhere else. [...]

I got this tip from my good friend. It looks like DWR is trying to clean out some of their old stock and have slashed prices on all of their house numbers. All the fonts are designed by Erik Spiekermann and are available in four different styles; contemporary, tech, classic and industrial. Prices [...]

Umbra OK Chair

One of the first things I wrote about when I started Grassrootsmodern over three years ago was the Umbra Oh Chair. It’s affordable, good quality and a great design.

There is nothing like good lighting to make a room have that certain ambiance your looking for. Wrapables has this great Honeycomb Table Lamp that is made of silk worm cocoons. I’m not quite sure if thats a good thing or not, but I do know that it looks pretty good. The 8″ [...]

I mentioned a couple of days ago that we were getting ready to finish our kitchen. For our stovetop we ordered the Bosch, and originally we were going to get a Bosch oven too. That is, until we saw the price tag. The Bosch oven we wanted was close to $1400, which [...]

Here is another great Etsy find. From the windy city comes these wonderful wool pillows. Each pillow is made by felting old wool sweaters, cutting them up, and sewing them back together in these wonderful geometric patterns. Pillow covers have a zipper closure and have a quality down pillow insert inside. [...]

Things happen slower when you do them yourself. Over a year ago I posted about our bathroom vanity that I had just built. I did a walnut base and a concrete countertop. The only thing that was left to do was the drawers. It sat that way for over a year, [...]

When it comes to a great looking humidifier for the home the options have been pretty limited so far. One of my favorites is made by Plus Minus Zero, but unfortunately it is expensive and hard to find. The only one I could find this morning was on ebay for $200. However, [...]
