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.
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
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!

Please take a moment to reflect on what Steve Jobs has brought to us...
Steve Jobs is quite possibly one of the smartest men to bless this Earth!
Not only has he introduced the world to incredible technology developments,
he had a pretty great view on life too!
Words Of Wisdom From Steve Jobs
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Blum's new waste/recycle kit with SERVO-DRIVE transforms cabinets into an entirely hands-free solution. So now all you have to do is tap the drawer with your knee, hip or elbow for quick and easy access.

With the click of a remote, you can browse the Web, check out what your friends are doing on Facebook and Twitter, call them through Skype, watch YouTube videos, stream music via Pandora - all on your TV. The newest models come preinstalled with a host of Web-connected apps like Netflix, HuluPlus, Amazon, Yahoo, Vudu, CinemaNow, and Flickr, among others. They appear as icons on the screen just as they do on your smartphone.
You can still enjoy many of these same services on the big screen without a preloaded TV. The Roku Player is a compact box that links your TV and high-speed Internet service, giving you access to content from more than 150 sources. Some Blu-ray players and gaming systems like Xbox can do it, too.
Beware, not every streaming device offers the same features, and not every app is available on every TV model, so check first before you buy.
"Pay attention to your water bill, so you know what's normal. Even if you can't hear it, you might have a running toilet or a leaky faucet somewhere. If your bill is running high, call your plumber."

"A keypad with an 'all off' button at the front door not only saves energy,
it looks much better than four or five switches, right?"

"There's a lot of misinformation about marble being too porous and impractical. I still think it's the best kitchen counter material. Put a marble poultice on a water mark for 24 hours and it will be completely restored."
