New Umbra is HERE!!!!

Hello!
Guess What?
A new UMBRA order is here!!!! WHOOOHOO!
Here's a couple of the newest designs, but check out our Facebook page for lots more photos!

This right here is just about the CUTEST thing I've ever seen.... its a little house tissue box cover!! And the tissue comes out the chimney!! Oh man, I just about died when I saw these in the catalog but do you know the best part?.....They are only $4.95!!!! Its crazy! Less than 5bucks for all that adorableness AND practicality! (No one likes to see the Kleenex box, no matter how fluffy and cheesy and awesome the soft-focus white kittens are on it...)
Now this guy here we've had in the store before but I don't think I've show you here on the blog- its a super duper bath tub caddy! Complete with extendable arms to fit your small or big tub, a nice book stand, soap dish and, most importantly, wine glass holder. (Don't tell me you've been taking baths without a lovely glass of Pinot Noir within arms reach this whole time?! How barbaric!)

We just received an order from Umbra, and as usual, its going to go FAST. Umbra's products are design-forward, innovative and affordable; they are the best at creating good-looking solutions to so many problems around the home. Here are a few of their newest!

Wallflutter Set/25 Dragonfly Wall Decor-White $24.95, Vine Photo/Memo Holder $16.95

Pongo portable PING PONG! We all can't afford the space in our home for a permanent ping pong table set-up, but now you can turn your dining room table into the spot for a serious tournament. Its super easy to set-up and store (comes with its own pouch for the paddles, ball and net) so you can challenge anyone at any time and bring along to parties/family dinners/your high school reunion.

Touch Soap Pump (Touch Bath Collection) $9.95, SpiceVine Acrylic Spicerack w/Jars $31.95

Dwell Multi Frame Black $39.95, Frama Mirrored Wall Decor Set/5 $26.95

Glub, Glub.....

Guess who is backkkk!??

The booth at ICFF showcased some seriously AMAZING work of several Pratt students who had customized the famous Oh! chair with detailed drawings.

The result is just beautiful! Who knew the already pretty awesome Oh! chair could be improved? Who thought drawing all over furniture with markers would make it way cooler? (Besides my little brother, that is.)
I'm lusting over this idea and hooking up with my sharpie markers for some serious DIY quality time soon.
