Daily Obsesh - Pop Art Color Coasters

image
We love to throw dinner parties and with the sunny weather upon us now, the invites will be plentiful. We're looking forward to long lazy summer days in friends€™ back yards, sipping on a chilled sauv blanc or even an ice cold beer!


This year, though, we're surely shying away from typical party gifts like bottles of wine and artisan cheeses. For a great gift idea, we're all about Sobral's Pop Art Color Coasters.


Made of natural lightweight resin, these handmade colorful coasters make for the perfect hostess gift. They measure approximately 4" square and are sold separately.


A little home decor goes a long way in saying thanks for the invite and insures a second one, too!



Where to Buy - Sobral



Price - $24.00

Daily Obsesh - Squirrel Serving Bowl

image
So, you want to save the planet while staying your fashionable, funky self.


Luckily for you, we're always looking for new ways to keep you looking fresh whether with your clothes, or in your home! Alright, so maybe this squirrel serving bowl isn't exactly the greenest item you can own, but it's so darn cute, how can you even resist?


This dish has two separate areas so you can either place chips and dip, or just a selection of nuts (and what squirrel doesn't appreciate nuts?)!


The two tone red and white design gives a contemporary appeal and adds a pop factor to any dinner party or coffee table decor. Drop a few bucks on this piece and put a smile on your guest's face!

Daily Obsesh - Elle Bank

image
What if we told you that you could save money by keeping a pet elephant? That would just sound a little bit cray-cray, right? But the truth is ... you can - with this great home accessory!


It's an elephant bank. Not to be confused with a piggy bank. And whether you actually want to store your coins in it or not, it looks darling and sweet sitting on your desk, a shelf or next to your television.


Plus, you have to appreciate that it's wood-carved, hand-painted, and it's much larger than it looks in the picture. Not to mention, it has felt on the feet to protect the surface it sits on.


So go on ... give in to your need to save by buying this lovely elephant. We'll call her Sally.

Daily Obsesh - Black Forest Tray

image
Okay ... we know what you're thinking - "Why the heck do I need this tray? We'll tell you - it's great to serve someone breakfast in bed with or if you're being lazy and just want to take your meal over to the couch to watch TV, well then, there you go.


But honestly, that's not the real reason to get this funky tray. We like it to hold stuff ... on top of stuff.


See those bottles of alcohol? Tequila, vodka, gin .. .they all look really cool sitting on your counter and organized on this tray. Or if you're not a frilly girl, why not throw your perfume bottles on it and place it on top of your dresser? The possibilities really are endless. Give it a try and you'll see.

Daily Obsesh - Themis Mobile

image
Who says mobiles are just for a baby's room? The girls here at the Hive have discovered a modern graphic design mobile that will look perfect anywhere in your home, especially the office!


Graphic designer and illustrator, Clara von Zweigbergk, created the Themis mobile, in collaboration with Los Angeles-based Artecnica, using simple materials of paper, wood and metal.


The bright, cheerful geometric shapes boast neon and fluorescent colors mixed with neutral browns. Hollow and made of lightweight paper, the colorful shapes bounce gingerly like planets floating through the universe.


Sure to add a bit of pop to any room, we are loving it for your home office, or a sunny spot in the kitchen. Baby will love it, too!

Daily Obsesh - Bike Chain Bowl

image
A bowl is just a bowl ... unless it's not. Confused? Don't be. Here's what we're saying - you can buy ceramic bowls (boring) to hold cereal and soup, but when it comes to keeping your keys or trinkets together, go with something that's more interesting!


We like this handmade bowl made from a bike chain. It's funky, looks cool in your home, and it's a good conversation starter. You know ... you can tell people it fell off your bike so you decided to get creative and - voila! - bowl. Or you can just tell them you bought it online. Either way, you'll still earn some cool points!

Psst ... Take Note!

Receipts you need to save, grocery lists, and don't forget those bills and tax forms ... If you're anything like us, chances are you have a countertop or refrigerator that could be spared some clutter. Or wouldn't it be nice to see the left side of your desk again?


Sure, there are plenty of drawers and storage options out there for organizing yourself, but for all the little notes you still want in plain sight, why not aim for an attractive option? Luckily, there are some great looking ones out there -


Chalkboard wall-decals come in plenty of different shapes and sizes. Plus, they couldn't be easier to add to your home office or even a playroom. Jotting messages to the fam won't just be decorative, it'll also save some paper.

Daily Obsesh - Balloona Side Table

image
As a child, did you ever wonder what happened to a balloon when you let it fly into the sky? Did it wander into outer space? Or did curious birds pop it before it got very far? Well here's one answer to tell the little rugrats in your life when they ask that very question - it becomes furniture!


At least these balloons do. Five hundred deflated balloons in a variety of colors cover this cool table and make it a delightful addition to any bedroom.


The Balloona side table isn't cheap, but with good reason ... each balloon is tied together over wood to create this fun piece of furniture. We love looking at it and remembering the joy we felt in our younger years. Balloons can brighten any day and with this table, they certainly brighten ours!

Daily Obsesh - Block Lamp from Design House Stockholm

image
What a great feeling to re-decorate you home, as things can get slightly stale year after year. Wouldn't it be nice to walk in the door one evening after work, and be pleasantly surprised at the freshly painted walls, new cozy sofa and gorgeous curtains?


If an all out overhaul isn't in the budget, we suggest just a few new pieces of decor to give the room a whole new feel.


One of our top picks is the Block Lamp from Design House Stockholm. A true design classic since it's launch in 1996, the block lamp is inspired by industrial glass bricks. The bulb is encased in two heavy glass blocks and can then be set on the floor or a tabletop. The lamp is offered with a red, black or white wire and gives off the perfect ambient glow. It's also sure to spark up plenty of conversation!

Daily Obsesh - Meio Cheio Sugar Bowl

image
This Meio Cheio Sugar Bowl is absolutely adorable ... and versatile! We're loving the kaleidoscope-patterned glass, the Chinoiserie-inspired shape, and the subtle yet beautiful design.


Use this mini bowl as a candy bowl (IKEA candies in pastel colors would look beautiful), a ring holder, or even just a decorative piece to put on display! Put it on your nightstand as a pretty center piece that also holds small jewelry! A beautiful accessory to any home, the Meio Cheio Sugar Bowl also makes a wonderful gift!
