FURNITURE
HEALTHY HOME

Featured in HGTV’s Green Home 2008, this trundle chest features a handy pull-out bench for taking on and off shoes, plus it’s ’green’. Without turning your foyer into a game of shoe toss, cubby doors above the pull-out bench let you neatly store shoes at the door, limiting household toxins brought further inside your home from outside.

The trundle chest is part of HGTV Jack Thommason’s EcoHome Collection, and made by Hickory Hill Holdings.

The grid-wide Peace On Earth hunt starts today! Complete information about the hunt can be found on the POE blog, so here’s the link.

You’ll find several starting points for the hunt listed in the blog. Be sure to start at the beginning so you don’t miss any of the wonderful gifts that some of the best content creators in Second Life have set out for you.

Get on your comfiest shoes and start hunting, there are over 300 gifts to be found from some of Second Life’s most talented designers!

So the H&M you knew were the ones whom you bought your tops and bottoms from.

What if you could do the same for your home?

Finally, a new competitor to the affordable furniture scene!

Move aside IKEA, give way to the new H&M Home or Casa as I like to call it!

Their first collection will be available from February 2009 in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.

Sorry not yet for you, USA, and the rest of the world excluded!

I think it’s reasonable! At the very least I expect them to be!

Their apparels are already fantastic and cheap too =D

I hope they come here fast!

And please stock up on mens’ size 34 for jackets.

I hate it when the nicer ones are up to only size 36!

I heart this infinity bookshelf!! Plus I’m pretty sure I could have it filled with books in no time-no joke. Plus it totally appeals to my mathematical nerdy side!!!

I love metalwork, probably because my great grandfather was a blacksmith. If you ever go to the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas and notice the hinges on the windows and doors, those were made by him during the restoration of that landmark.
