• Pop-Up Forest

  

  I love the idea of home accessories that change with the seasons, but I’m not really into windsocks.

  This gold-plated pop-up forest casts gorgeous shadows if you place it in front of candlelight, or it could make for understated holiday decoration.

• Hang Out Hooks

  

  I’m pleased with the structural, almost masculine vibe of these hooks, meant for hanging coats and bags. They’d look amazing in a long, neutral hallway with polished concrete floors.

• Flip and Tumble Bags

  

  We have a giant bin full of tangled tote bags. How I yearn for the tidy storage option of tucking them all into little balls. As a bonus, once unfurled, the bags are an attractive design.
