There is usually not much to say about the average coat rack but the BLOOM from designer Jeff Miller responds to the weight of jackets by flexing outward. Eight individual prongs show the flexible and resilient nature of wood.The otherwise thin and narrow coat rack from Cerruti Baleri of Italy takes up very little space and has a rather casual look.
Wine decorating is in. These 2 wine cabinets come from Crate & Barrel and retail for under $300. Many people can't work a wine refrigerator into a living room or den without wrecking the room's overall design. Wine cabinets are great for red wine drinkers since reds don't really require refrigeration unless you plan to hold them for many years. These 2 wine cabinets add a nice decorative touch to a room while at the same time emit an element of fun and celebration. I like this flexibility in home decorating where the home furnishings can support dual-purpose occasions. Find products: here.

As a blogger I am always working on a laptop. Finding a good laptop stand is a challenge. Then, finding one that does not destroy the design look of your home is another challenge in and of itself. The "Parsons" model here is worth a look if you are shopping for a laptop stand. It is a simple design in an 18" square with legs that can be scooted underneath a chair. I like it since it looks like a nice accent table and not just a "computing device". There are 12 different color options available where you can change the look of the table top. I would caution you regarding how big your laptop is. If you have a very large model, make sure that the fit will be good with an 18" square. As a test you can cut out a square using foam board or cardboard and place your laptop on it to test how it shapes up on this size format. Price: $309. Buy product: here.
