Lovell Designs

If you've read this blog before, you know I appreciate color, form and function. And so does Alison Lovell, the creator of Lovell Designs. So it is no surprise that I'm a fan of her work! The idea behind her products is this: "Take an everyday household item that has a purpose, like a storage bin or a hamper, and transforming it into a decorative piece that stands on its own."

I was having trouble with my son remembering to put his clothes in our hamper. He now has a Lovell Designs hamper in his room and voilà, the pride in having a hamper of his own coupled with the fact that the red print "looks like stitching on a baseball" has apparently motivated him to keep his room clean...for over a month now!

And the great fabric bin in my kitchen looks stylish and like it belongs, all while hiding my baby's bibs and face cleaning supplies! Walk around your home and find a place where you need some organizing (or masking of a mess), and I'm sure Lovell Designs will have a stylish solution!

See all of the lovely prints and learn more about Lovell Designs products (including bins, hampers, pillows, bags and breastfeeding pillows) at lovelldesigns.ca! Products may be purchased at goneshopping.ca and funkymonkeybaby.com.

Engage Green

Engage Green creates wonderful products out of recycled paper, recycled plastic, cork leather, organic cotton, and organic hemp. Their product lines currently include trays and bags.

Their trays, shown here, are made of recycled woven paper and are perfect for putting out your kids snacks when friends are over or to use as knick-knack storage for their treasures. They snap together on the corners and then unsnap for easy, flat storage. They may sound flimsy being made of recycled paper, but I assure you these will last you years!

Engage Green also has some lovely bags in their eco-friendly lineup...bags for kids and bags for parents. The one shown here is made of recycled plastic bottles. So in addition to the great styles and designs on the bags, you are assisting the environment!

Visit engagegreen.com to learn more about the recycled and green materials they use in creating their wonderful pieces...and to purchase. Bags start at $12.00 and trays are priced $12.00 (small size) and $14.00 (larger size)...very reasonable!
