Steal of the Day: Hourglass Ottoman

CasaSugar — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:00:00 -0700

Unless you're rolling in dough, spare seating is not something to spend a fortune on. The everyday gear should be your investment. So, it's a treat that the Gaiam Hourglass Ottoman ($60, reduced from $129) is on sale. Its sturdy metal frame makes it ideal seating for guests around your coffee table. The rest of the time, you can use it as a side table or a place to stack books. Better yet, lift up its removable lid and use it as storage year-round. Made from bacbac leaf, "a fast-growing, bark-like fiber used in thatched roofs," you can be reassured that your home is as organic as your grocery list.

Steal of the Day: Gaiam Step Basket

CasaSugar — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 08:15:21 -0700

The classic Shaker style of the Gaiam Step Basket ($29, from $60) may not appeal to the modernists out there, but I think we can all appreciate its functionality. Maybe it's just me, but I think the mother of every friend I had growing up used to leave her family's things (sneakers, magazines, laundry, etc.) at the base of the stairs to be picked up. There's nothing neat about leaving things laying on the stairs, but a step basket will keep things looking tidy, and you can carry it with you on your way up. Oh, and did I mention that it's made from sustainably-grown rattan? What do you think? Would you use one of these in your own home?

Sale Alert: Gaiam

As a raised-in-the-woods hippie kid, my adult self sometimes avoids the feel-good offerings in the Gaiam catalog, but that doesn't mean I'm stubborn enough not to realize that they offer some really amazing products. They carry lovely organic silk and organic cotton bedding, sustainably harvested wood furniture, and other great household items. And now, they have an up to 75 percent off sale going on right now. (Thanks to Apartment Therapy: Green for the tip.)

Almost all of the sale items are priced incredibly low. There are some great finds in organic cotton linens and outdoor living, and I seriously need to order this Tofino bench for my backyard. Be sure to check it out. To see my picks from the sale, click on the photos below.
