Discreet Speakers

By Holly Peterson

Three ways to get high-quality home-theater sound...
with some speakers so discreet, they're barely noticeable.



Sound bars, which sit just in front of or below your screen, provide amazing sound quality by projecting audio in multiple directions, replicating the sound of several speakers... without black boxes everywhere you look.
Yamaha YSP-2200 Digital Sound Projector
$1000
(includes a separate subwoofer)

Instead of having a set of speakers throughput the room, mount these slender columns on the wall or ceiling.  They come with a grille and can be ordered in any of seven finishes to help them blend in.
Totem Acoustics Tribe III
from $1600 each

Screw these wireless speakers/LED bulbs into preexisting recessed lighting fixtures.  (You'll need a transmitter to attach to the audio source.)  Use several for major surround sound.

$250 each (transmitter not shown - $120)

Because EVERYONE Should Have a Stylish Throne!

By Holly Peterson

EcoDomo is introducing the Royal Throne Collection™ of leather toilet seats, lids and rugs.

This continues the rollout of ecological, stylish and unique sustainable architectural details which EcoDomo has pioneered in the sustainable finishes industry.


  About Ecodomo
Founded in response to the need for luxurious, well-designed materials derived from renewable and ecologically-friendly sources, EcoDomo has become the partner of choice to both architects and designers, as purveyors of unique recycled materials and brilliant solutions, elegant design and ecologically-balanced living.

As a member of the United States Green Building Council USGBC, EcoDomo uses a "triple bottom line" approach, where products must exceed market expectations and significantly contribute to both the environment and to the community.


EcoDomo developed unique recycled leather applications for floors which are as comparable to cork or linoleum for wear.

The toilet seats are an extension of the company's line and focus on the hospitality and high-end design industry. They are made of bamboo, a natural, renewable grass, which are wrapped with premium top-grain, anti-microbial, low-VOC leather specially finished by EcoDomo. The toilet seats are complemented by matching bath mats. The bath mats are assembled on recycled post-consumer rubber with a signature saddle stitch finish.


The Royal Throne Collection™ is offered as follows:
Seats and bath mats in seven standard leather colors
{shown below}
- The bath mats are offered in three sizes
- The lid can be upgraded with one of four crocodile-embossed Patent leather
- Choose to have only the lid covered in leather
- Fully customize your seat or bath mat size

Danish Teak Classics... For The Birds!

By Holly Peterson


Don't miss out on one of these amazing bird houses by Nathan Danials at Danish Teak Classics. As a child, Danials lived the good life on a family farm in Wisconsin, no doubt nurturing a love for building something by hand, guided by the principles of nature and simplicity. Danials become interested in modern design after moving to the Twin Cities to work for a local furniture company. He began his own design career by designing modern outdoor furniture, but has since branched out into, as you could have guessed by the name – burd haus, Bauhaus-esqe birdhouses. The burd haus has everything that would appeal to any architecture aficionado – quality materials, appealing colour combinations, simple (mostly functional) form, and a quirky individuality. You can purchase the burd haus at Daniels' Etsy store
Don't miss out on one of these for the Autumn season!




The birds will thank you...
