January was a time for organization and ambiance.
January felt like four months rolled up into one, but thankfully, that's behind us. Our readers made purchases with an eye towards personal optimization (storage! a milk frother!) and relaxation (candles! weighted blankets!) alike. Not a bad mix, if you ask me. Let's see what's what.
These bins are a great way to fake it 'til you make it, organization-wise.
Marie Kondo Narrow Shoji Bamboo Pantry Bin
[TAG1]Part of our exclusive collection of sustainable products designed by Marie Kondo, these bins have been handmade of bamboo, an easily renewable resource. Inspired by traditional Japanese room dividers - or shoji screens - Marie designed them to fit in your pantry and keep it tidy. Store dry goods, spices and other non-perishables in this sleek container so it's easy to find what you need and put them back when you're done. Mealtime, with a spark of joy.Marie suggests thinking beyond the kitchen. Available in two sizes, these bamboo bins have a way of fitting in anywhere throughout the home or office - wherever smart storage solutions are needed.

Greys The Outdoor Slipper Boot
[TAG3]Sliding into a pair of Greys slippers gives you the same satisfying feeling as a nice, steep pour of bourbon after a long day. A cozy wool blend keeps your feet nice and toasty, while the grippy rubber sole lets you take them beyond the bedroom—whether you’re venturing across the slippery kitchen floor or across the street to your local coffee shop. The shape is handsome enough to keep your neighbors from raising any eyebrows, while a thoughtful, stub-proof toe box keeps you from shouting expletives in public. Every pair is naturally moisture-wicking and odor-resistant, and comes with a leather pull-on tab to easily slip ‘em off (though we’re not sure why you’d ever want to).
Some cheery, heft dinner plates for the best February meal—a big wedge salad.
Bauer Pottery Russel Wright American Modern Dinnerware
[TAG4]The LBD of dinnerware. A mid-century modern design icon meets the most widely sold American dinnerware in history. Russel Wright is credited with bringing modern design into American homes over the first half of the 20th century. His line, launched in 1939, has trademark curvy silhouettes and rounded corners—they’re so easy to dress up and down, in fact, that Wright likened them to "the little black dress." Today, Bauer is the only place making the Russel Wright American Modern line (and we got to head to their Southern California property to see it in action). This set of hand-made ceramics brings the vision together with Russel Wright's exclusive designs in a gorgeous glaze and a range of color options.
