    Modern Luxury on Nov 3, 2009 8:19 AM PST
    It IS easy being green! At least at Emerald it is. These twin towers of eco-friendly condos on the east edge of Chicago'ss hot, hot, hot West Loop neighborhood offer a calm, relaxing retreat in the middle of the urban jungle. Decorated in a variety of natural greens and recycled materials, the lobby (with 2-story glass atrium), bar/lounge and boardroom are conscious common areas just steps from Restaurant Row, Greektown, The Loop and the financial district. Each unit has a private balcony -- many with picturesque skyline views -- as another way to bring nature inside. And with an appropriate address on Green Street, Emerald lives up to its gem status in luxury environmentally responsible living.

    Hot In The Hive: Ninja Star Coat Hooks

    Does your prissy Hello Kitty-adorned apartment need a little roughing up? If so, I've got the best thing to make your pad a whole lot more bad-ass: Ninja Star Coat Hooks. Made of super-strong nickel-plated alloy, the star is shaped to easily install into your wall and look as if you've survived a sneaky ninja attack right in your own home. See? Bad-ass. In fact, you're so bad-ass that after you survived said attack and dispelled the ninja from your pad, you decided to make a mockery out of his misfired weapons and hang your coats from them! True, most of your guests will probably assume they're just fun little decorations that you bought online ('cause you did) and ask where you got them, but they'll secretly be afraid to mess with you from now on, just in case.


    Price: $12.99 each

    Hot In The Hive: Reminder Rug

    If I had a dollar for every time I've waltzed out of the house in the morning without my keys, wallet, or phone (or a tragic combination of all of the above), I'd probably have enough money to simply buy a replacement of whatever I forgot at home on the way out. Unfortunately, since there is no Forgetfulness Fairy to reward my flighty morning-rush behavior, I could use a little helpful reminder to make sure I have all my necessities before I dash out the door. Luckily, Urban Outfitters knows what's up and came up with the brilliant Reminder Rug, designed to help start your mental checklist. It's the perfect doormat (with nice, big lettering so your eyes can't skip over it as you step), and even if you've never forgotten a thing in your life, it's still pretty cute as a cheeky addition to your apartment decor!


    Price: $18

    The recent economic turmoil has many of us downgrading to smaller apartments, and in turn desperately trying to make the most out of the limited space in our newly cramped quarters. If your canine companion has also had to suffer with you in your sardine can of a sublet and has been forced to relinquish his beloved comfy crate for the sake of space-saving, the pet-loving decor mavens at DenHaus are here to the rescue to provide your pooch pal a comfy little den while at the same time helping you save room and keep up the chicness of your new pad. The BowHaus dog crate not only serves as a tucked-away little napping place for your pint-sized pup, but with its sleek powder-coated steel design and trendy star-burst detail, it also doubles as an end table, bed-side stand, or for use wherever you see it functioning best! It appeals to both your doggie's desire for his own hideaway and your own need to conserve room and equip your place with some modern decor! Get one for own place at the BowHaus store, where you can even "furnish" the tiny den with a sleeping mat!

    Hive 5: Sneaky Stylish Storage Solutions

    image
    Greta on Aug 26, 2008 6:13 PM PDT
    There are people who don't hold onto things, who donate clothing right when it goes out of style, and who refrain from holding onto precious memorabilia. I am not one of those people. I have always struggled parting with clothing, books, old toys, shoes, ticket stubs, seashells, even fortune cookie fortunes. My (clutter-phobe) father has difficulty understanding this compulsion of mine; he loves uncluttered counter tops and minimalistic rooms. And after a few years of living/studying/eating in cramped college quarters, I too am beginning to understand the beauty of minimalism. All of my "stuff" made my already small room almost unbearable. Cutting back on this excessive behavior is definitely a work in progress, but I recently came across some items in the Hive that made both the hoarder and the minimalist in me smile. Storage solutions that let you hold on - without worrying about cramping your space! These modern solutions are either hidden or camouflaged, and they all promote a clutter-free existence. So check out my SLIDESHOW for five awesomely inventive sneaky storage solutions!
