It’s no secret that here at Grassrootsmodern we love Etsy. Prices are usually much more affordable than anything you would find at a real store, and it makes you feel good knowing that the majority of the money is going directly to the artist/designer. I was skimming through some products this morning when [...]

Here is another great Salt Lake City Craigslist find that was sent in by April. She didn’t have the extra room for it in her house so had to pass it up. We’re so house poor we don’t even have an extra $100 for furniture right now. I’m sure that there is [...]

Here at Grassrootsmodern we love vintage mid century modern furniture. Unfortunately tracking down that favorite Paul Mccobb piece or Arne Jacobsen chair is not always easy. Most of the time when you do find them, the prices are way unrealistic. The Good Mod seems to have a good solid collection of 50’s [...]

Memorial day has come and gone, and even though the weather wasn’t exactly conducive to an outdoor celebration, the time for outdoor gatherings is upon us. Whether you are at an outdoor or indoor party, when there are more people than seating, there is always the problem of what to do with your drink. [...]

If you haven’t checked out materialicious lately, now is a good time to get over there. The place just keeps on getting better. They recently went through a redesign of their website (we used to have the same off the shelf template) and it is looking really good. In addition I have [...]

I have decided that one of the best things about having Ikea open a store in Utah is the fact that there is now a ton of super cheap Ikea stuff on Craigslist. Some of the best deals I have found this week are a black leather poang chair for $50. It would [...]

There are lots of modern furniture websites out there and probably more popping up every day. But when one comes along that is brought to you by the founders of Y Lighting you know that it will probably be around for a while. Zwello may be the new kid on the block, but [...]

Our little guy is quickly coming up on one year old, and with a growing mouth full of teeth, he loves to eat. Up until about two months ago, we didn’t have a highchair which made feeding time not so easy. Arrington now takes his meals in a Boon Flair Elite, and [...]

While we are really pretty happy with our grill, this one from The Gadgetshop is pretty darn cool. It weighs in at just over 8 lbs and is able to fold up amazingly small for a grill. This would be a perfect grill for apartment dwellers who don’t have a lot of space, [...]
