This 19th century Rhododendron Burl Root Bench ($4,700)
fascinates me. I think it would look incredible in a modern home, adding a big infusion of nature to a minimalist palette.
The Red Reactive Vase ($7.50, regularly $14.95) will add a warm burst of color to a dark and chilly January. This small, graceful shape has an Asian-inspired design, and is coated with a unique, reactive glaze finish in fiery red and earthy browns. Made of clays, feldspar and silica, this vase is for decorative use only, but that shouldn't prevent you from filling it with dried flowers. I think some lovely strawflowers in reds and oranges would look great in this. Due to the glazing, you should hand wash this pretty little object.

A well-made candle will create virtually no smoke when burning correctly. Your candles will burn brighter if you always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before every use. The reason for this is because long wicks produce larger flames, which create soot. Also keep your candles away from drafts, vents, or air currents, which can disturb the flame's teardrop shape, producing soot. Source
I spotted this project on Craft and thought it would be perfect for Renewal month. Give new purpose to mismatched teacups you have laying around or that you've found at yard sales by turning them into candles. You can use them in your own home or as a thoughtful DIY gift for your friends.
