Kenneth Wingard’s optical wall art fuses circular shapes and moveable wires to achieve a look that is equal parts mobile and equal parts sculpture. At $279 a pop, “Mirrored Large Op Art,” adds a generous dose of glamour to any room, yet doesn’t require a glamorous wallet. The piece hangs either vertically or horizontally; either way it adds a glittering effect to the whole room.

As the winter months approach and the economy freezes up too, it’s hard to feel hunky-dory lately. But looking at Hunkydory Home’s website brightens up our mood when we see their cheerful, sunny, creative retro patterns on lampshades and pillows.
What cheers us up even more are their price tags. The “big flower cushion” and “rainbow retro cushion” each retail for less than $30 and are packed with big, bright, ‘70s-inspired design. Our favorite line has to be the “Shabby Chic,” which proves that a vintage look can be affordable: the handmade “Red Cherries Pendant Drum” features a classic cherry-picked pattern that would sweeten up any kitchen light fixture. Also adorable is the “Red Gingham Pendant Drum” lampshade which brings a dash of ‘40s-era Loretta Lynn to any country-inspired home.
What’s even more hunky-dory than their designs is Hunkydory Home’s commitment to environmentalism. In July, for each customer that spent more than 100 pounds the company pledged a tree to Borneo. The company’s website has a shopping cart system and loads of fun stuff to check out, including many things not yet mentioned here – from wall art to kids’ room accessories to scads more pillows and lampshades.

I will freely admit to having a penchant for earthenware of all shapes and sizes. That’s why I was skeptical when I went to peruse Wells’ site. In no time at all Guilo Iacchetti and his Europlast collection had proven me wrong.
With their electric and jewel tones one’s eye is immediately captivated by each piece that happens to cross your line of sight. Looking at the entire collection as a whole, even a casual buyer can’t help but appreciate the wholeness of the collection, its playful textures and coy takes on iconoclastic images. Take for example, my personal favorite – the Cactus vessel. Instead of prickly avoidance, its gleaming finish seems to cry “touch me”. Like the rest of the Europlast collection, this piece is ideal for indoor our outdoor use. Standing at 49.6″, it’s definitely not a piece that will fade away, if anything, you’ll find yourself changing amidst the lush creative landscape that Iacchetti and crew have put together.
