Water Saver:

Fill half of your sink with water for washing dishes instead of letting your tap run. According to the American Water Works Association, the average U.S. household uses 130,000 gallons of water per year. If they used just 50% less, we could save the equivalent of seven million barrels of oil per year.

Pretty Bird! Pretty Bird!

They say that your kitchen and bathroom are the rooms to renovate for the greatest impact on the sales value of your home. They say to redo these two rooms in a generic fashion (read: white subway tiles and IKEA cabinets) so as to appeal to as broad a spectrum of tastes as possible. Well, we naysay what they say! Are you not dwelling in the space right now? Do you not deserve to live among what you love for as long as you inhabit your home? Case in point: these exquisite handmade ceramic tiles, fired thrice with love in England, with pretty birds, regal horses and old-fashioned fleurs as design motifs. How you will smile (priceless!) when you see them accent your bathroom wall, kitchen backsplash, hallway trim or fireplace surround. Of course, styling a space is one thing, overdoing it is another—a little bird among white subway tiles will do you. And if when it comes to personalizing your renovation you're that other kind of bird (psst: chicken), these tiles come with hooks attached to hang where—and take down when—you please.
