Her passion for artistic exploration in numerous mediums has continued to infuse her work with originality and thoughtful attention to detail."

One of the new pieces we love is Laura's Leaves and Seeds Pendant Light.

Canadian House & Home - Isabella Chest from Bungalow 5

Canadian House & Home magazine rounded up their favorite group of dressers, and making the list is the Isabella Chest from Bungalow 5.

The versatile design featured below in Navy Blue is a chic with it's lacquered grasscloth finish making it substantial for bedroom wear and tear.

The Isabella Chest in Toast Brown shown below is neutral favorite that can make the transition to living and dining rooms areas. Notice the curve of the drawers making this piece of furniture stand out easily.

Three drawer storage makes the Isabella functional as well as good looking. We like the white version below for bedroom decor. The texture of the grasscloth drawers draws you closer as you try and figure out what exactly it's all about!

Take your pick of color, they are all fabulous. Bungalow 5 continues to deliver exceptional style and well made products that are always a favorite!

Organic Salvage Candles - a Maura Peters Project

Our new favorite candle line (from Maura Peters) is Organic Salvage Candles - soon to be your favorite too!

Organic Salvage Candles emit beautifully textured layers of scents, inspired by nature. They are simple, fresh and so wonderful! Made of 100% natural wax, they are also certified organic, which means their ingredients are grown, processed and handled according to strict guidelines, keeping them free of chemicals and pesticides.

Each candle is contained in salvaged glass bottles as you see above. Water, juice, beer bottles are all fair game to house the various fresh scents. Each bottle has been evenly cut and polished on a grinding wheel, so is not sharp to the touch. Enjoy the different colors of each bottle when lit. Scents include Grass, For the Dogs, Blossom and Meadow - available in 2 sizes. All labels are hand stamped, then hand applied.

Bonus for these candles, is that once it's done, you can give the bottle a THIRD life. Continue being environmentally responsible and create beauty once again, by turning the container into a vase for your favorite flowers or a container for your desk. "You can make a difference with every action and cumulative action makes for a lasting impact." - Maura Peters
