Take a look around your bathroom. What’s holding up your toothbrush? Lately I’ve found that all the fat-handled toothbrushes I buy don’t fit into those traditional toothbrush holder holes anymore, and mine tends to sit sadly over the sink. A cup tends to get a weird cement-like mixture of water and toothpaste in the bottom, turning it into yuckola.

However, all that can change. The Viktor Toothbrush Holder by Kontextür makes a great gift and will add some shine to your bathroom. We are holding a flash sale for the next four days (that’s December 12-16) for 35% off all Viktor Toothbrush Holders. These come in a set of three fun shapes, and you can choose from 18K gold, real silver…

…or black nickel. They also can hold your razors the same way!

To celebrate our fun sale, we’re also giving away two other awesome Kontextür products – one lucky reader will win a Kontextür Rubber Duck (a new twist on a classic!)…

and another will win one of these chic and modern Kontextür Tissue Boxes!

Hey All! Just a reminder that Steelcase is on sale for 10% off through November 30th, so act fast!

Why buy Steelcase? Well, without even getting into the classic aesthetics that have stood the test of time since before the Mad Men era, Steelcase seating means comfort.  If your alignment feels out of whack, save yourself on chiropractor bills and invest in a proper desk chair. You deserve it; think of how many hours of your life you spend perched in it!

One of the most popular of Steelcase’s desk chair offerings is the Think Mesh Back Work Chair with Arms. You can roll across your office in no time flat thanks to its speedy casters, adjust your height for maximum ergonomic comfort, and most importantly to me, choose from a plethora of killer colors, from bright purple to cool neutrals; there’s something for everyone.

Looking beyond the office, I’m also partial to the Steelcase Turnstone Alight Lounge Round Ottomans. They are super clean and modern, but somehow they look a little like fun marshmellow-esque cartoon characters, and I mean that in the best possible way. They work great as footrests, as extra seating, and when you place a tray on top of them, they transform into coffee table.

These guys also come in a rainbow of fun colors, as well as black and white. Shown above we have Wasabi.

Finally, we have one of the most hard-working chairs in the business, the Steelcase Move Multi-Use Chair (Without Arms). This chair can easily transition from the conference table to the dining room table, from the desk to the eat-in-kitchen, bringing with it a simple, clean-lined, mid-century modern style wherever you place it. In this image, you can see that it has fresh cafe style:

In addition, the chair stacks, so you can keep extras stowed away and bring them out when you have extra guests:

That’s just a quick teaser of all that Steelcase has to offer. Any company that has been producing furniture for over a century is certainly doing everything right! Hop on these deals while you can!

I don’t know exactly why, but this video featuring the One Night Stand Sleeper made me laugh. It’s called “Mr. Squirrel Has a One Night Stand,” and it is NOT a dirty movie about tree rodents, just in case you were worried:

Did you mean to make a Blu Dot purchase when you first saw the sale announcement but just haven’t gotten around to it? Time is running out; this sale ends on November 8th. I for one know I have total commitment phobia when it comes to a major purchase like a sofa, and I secretly hope I’ll find one on sale as a floor sample or something (this never happens to me). So what better time to pick up the Couchoid Long Sofa than the present? This uber-contemporary sofa’s silhouette is sculptural and unexpected, resembling a model one might whittle from a block of styrofoam. The whole thing is very modern art museum chic.

Next the big bargains apply to yet another sculptural piece of furniture, the Stilt Floor Lamp. I love this lamp because it kind of reminds me of those things that came up out of the ground in that Spielberg/Tom Cruise sci-fi movie where Dakota Fanning just screams the whole time. The movie was kind of annoying, but the creatures were way cool. If they were to mate with a Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern lamp, their baby would look like this:

Next on my wishlist is the Knicker Counter Stool. It also comes in chair and bar stool heights. I learned that there is a difference between counter and bar height the hard way, after buying a bunch of bar stools for what was, apparently, a counter, so be sure to pay attention to that or you’ll only have a few inches of clearance for your thighs! Anyhoo, the upholstered Knicker in Chalk looks like it’s sporting a cozy knit sweater from J. Crew:

In Dark Roast upholstery, it takes on more of a modern cabin look, like it would go great with an antler chandelier or a bearskin rug:

In white faux leather, it takes on a sleeker, more contemporary persona, begging for some Carrera marble countertops to nestle under:

So, don’t procrastinate; time is running out to hop on the Blu Dot sale!
