I am always on the search for unique lamps, mirrors and side tables. I have been admiring the papier mache “Haitian” drum table and “Sarah” lamp from Serena and Lily and coincidentally found the designer who is Stray Dog Designs based in Chattanooga. This company not only designs unique whimsical home accessories but their products are handcrafted by artisans in Mexico and Haiti who make a sustainable living. The products are also made from recycled materials including glass tin and paper using low VOC paints. The collection consists of lighting, side tables, lamp finials, mirrors and various other accessories. The standout pieces are the Stray Dog Designs lamps which are infused with whimsy and are available in a variety of colors. I have also been on the search for a unique faux bois mirror in white. The Funky Faux Bois mirror pictured here is very sweet and looks even better in white. T0 add a lively touch of color to your lamps the finials are a visual treat as is the entire line. Stray Dog Designs has that whimsical artisan handmade feel and is a nice complement to add charm to your home.

Featured here from top left, clockwise: Sarah Lamp, Funky Faux Bois Mirror, Stump Stool/Accent Table, Aqua Birdie Finial and Green Artichoke Finial.

Cool-N-Save for $99.95

Cool-n-Save is an amazing new, patented product, that is actually based on the same scientific Principles that large corporations have used to save themselves money for years. Installed in less than five minutes with no tools required, the Cool-n-Save™ system affixes to the top of most home air conditioning units. The system is activated only when the AC unit turns on; hot air from the condenser unit’s fan raises the flap on the patented Cool-n-Save™ control valve allowing water to flow to the misters that surround the AC unit. When the ultra-fine mist is released into the air, it evaporates almost instantly creating what is known as a “Flash Evaporation,” which literally sucks heat out of the air as water absorbs the energy it needs to evaporate. The result of the immediate evaporation constitutes a substantial drop in ambient temperature without wetness—up to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
