#1 – Live Edge Table with Hairpin Legs
Add a touch of nature to your home with this live edge side table!
We’ve been redecorating our master bedroom to turn it into a plant-filled relaxing oasis. I replaced our small mid-century modern coffee table with a live edge table to look more natural among all the plants. I spent countless hours trying to find just the right table, at the right price, and this was the table I decided on. It’s unique, sturdy (can also be used as a stool), and I love the mid-century look of the hairpin legs. This table looks like it was meant to be in that space!
Use this table in your living room as an interesting side table, or use it in a bathroom next to a tub. The table would also work well as a nightstand in a bedroom, or a small table in a mudroom. Use the table as a plant stand for your favorite potted plant. The table would also look great on a deck, porch, or patio – holding candles, a plant, or a vase. So many fun ways to use this small table!
#2 – Solar String Lights with Decorative Gold Cage Covers
These decorative solar string lights will take your patio decor from Spring through Winter!
These small stylish metal mesh pendants look good in any decor. The light string is solar powered and the lights can be set to be steady on or blinking. The light cages are only around 2-2-1/2″ in size, so can be added virtually anywhere.
Hang the lights under a patio table umbrella, inside a gazebo, or in plants around a patio or pool. You could even gather the 12-foot string of lights together and place all the lights into a tall glass cylinder vase for a unique light for your deck, porch, or patio.
While the solar lights are intended for outdoor use, if you have a bright sunny window in your home, you could also use the solar lights inside. Fun for decorating a window frame or mantle. Be creative!
#3 – Black Metal Up Light Accent Light
Okay. I know this just looks like a simple light, but this black metal up light has SO many uses!
We’ve used six of these lights in our homes for 30+ years – and we’re still using them. I like to add them behind my large potted plants, shining up at an angle. The light illuminates the plant and casts interesting shadows on the walls and ceiling, creating a very interesting and relaxing atmosphere. I also use one of these lights on our front landing behind a large outdoor plant. It lights up our landing and steps at night, creating a warm welcome for our guests.
The light swivels so you can adjust the angle to whatever works for you. The light also swivels on the base so you can turn the light however you need it. There is a keyhole in the base of the fixture, allowing you to hang it on the wall and point down at artwork, photos, or when using as a bedside wall lamp. The spotlight fixture uses a regular 60-watt incandescent or equivalent bulb.
We’re turning our master bedroom into a ‘green oasis’ filled with plants and new decor. I just bought four more of these lamps to light up the large palm trees we now have in our room. We’re going to feel like we’re on a tropical vacation every time we go into our room!
TIP: We add these uplights to our Kasa Smart Plugs to make turning on sets of the lights easy. Try them, you’ll love them!

You can find product links to all three things on Pinterest at Things I Like and you can find some of these things in my Amazon Marketplace Storefront.
NOTE: Since my job is an online store and mentoring ecommerce business owners, I spend a LOT of time online each day. While most of that time is spent working, I do occasionally stumble across websites, articles, and cool things that I really like. I save these things to a Pinterest board, so someday when I have some free time, I can go back to that board and enjoy the things I found. I enjoy sharing these fun finds with you, and hope you find them interesting, too!
