    Hot In The Hive: Throw Some Green Around With CB2's Astro Balls!

    I love living in the city and would rather be nowhere else. The excitement, the variety, the convenience, the interesting and unique things around every corner. I love it all. The only thing I don't love about the city? The lack of green. You can find gourmet salad bars and veggie burgers piled high with leafy greens and fresh produce on any block, but you'd be hard pressed to find a lush yard in between apartment buildings or an overflow of trees and flowers on any given corner. Now, there is an easy and fun way to add the illusion of thick vegetation to your living environment! Thanks to CB2 and their Astro Balls, livening up your garden is no problem! They are made of high-quality polyethylene and look like giant Koosh balls made of grass! Their fun and unique shape add interest to any yard or lawn, regardless of size. They are not real grass so you can enjoy the look of green plants, but not have to worry about the care and maintenance that usually come with them. These CB2 Astro Balls are great for interior decoration too! Add a few into a large, glass vase, or set them individually in small bowls for a sophisticated look with a quirky edge. They come in light and darker green shades and at $3.95-$4.95 a piece, get a few and have fun decorating your urban area!


    Price: $3.95- $4.95
    Who Found It: idabone was first to add the CB2 Astro Balls to the Hive.

    Hot In The Hive: The Call-To-Dinner Chandelier

    The rustic look has never been my cup of tea when it comes to interior design. While there's nothing wrong with wicker furniture and distressed wood, I have a more sleek and modern taste for home decor. So I was pleasantly surprised when I came across the Call-To-Dinner Chandelier and really liked it! A great look in an open kitchen, the dangling forks and spoons would glint in the light as well as cast interesting shadows throughout the room. If you're anything like me and love a healthy dose of modern design, maybe it's time to bring a little bit of the rustic countryside into your life.

    Price: $249
    Who: SaraRiley was the first to add the Call-To-Dinner Chandelier to the Hive.

    There's just something so serene about home decor that's made of bamboo, and I think I've figured it out: it's lightweight, perfect for summer, incredibly eco-friendly, and best of all, it reminds me of hungry pandas. So really, what's not to love? From cereal bowls to room dividers and even wall flats, there are so many ways to add some to your home, and many can be found in the Hive!
