Homestyle Welcomes My Mez - A Table That is Truly a Work of Art


Mez is the Indian word for Table.  These lovely, handcrafted tables are made of birch wood and then customized with a photo taken by the artist in his travels through India and New England.  The table's coating gives it an attractive finish and durability.  What's more, your Mez can also convert to artwork, without any tools, simply by unscrewing and storing the table legs behind the top.  You will find two saw teeth on the back of the top allowing you to hang the entire piece as photographic art when not in use. 

Would you like a Mez with your own photo?  Provide us with a special image of anything from a wedding to a newborn baby to a favorite vacation spot and have it turned into a completely personalized and functional table!

Glorious Image of Iconic Waterfire by Providence Photographer Kate Salvi

When Kate Salvi shared this image with me several days ago I immediately asked her to bring in a framed print for us, do not pass go, do not collect $200!  The lovely Kate was quite accommodating and we now have this special, limited edition image in 8x10, framed and hanging right over our main desk.  And at UNDER $200 you won't have to pass go first either before you collect it!

A Favorite of European Beauties for Over 100 Years...

Spain's Perfumeria Gal produces wonderfully fragrant lip balms in equally lovely Art Nouveau inspired tins.  Great as a lip protective balm or a gloss, choose from Violet, Red Currant or Peach for lusciously smooth and soft lips.

Roomy, Colorful and Style-Conscious Totes...Just Add Water!

The vibrant color and whimsical graphics are just two of the things you will LOVE about these totes.  They are roomy yet light weight.  The interior is treated to make them water resistant, they have an inside pocket for your wallet and cell phone and the handles are just the right length to carry by hand or sling over your shoulder.  The toughest part...choosing which one you like best!

An Innovative and Handsome Storage System You Build to Suit!


 
Originally designed to be a wine bottle rack, this stackable system is the perfect solution for so many storage challenges.  Each "unit" consists of four pieces which can be stacked, placed side-by-side on a countertop or added to existing units to create a tower.  The design allows for entire walls to be honeycombed, inviting you to erect anything from low dividers to complete floor-to-ceiling partitions.  Like pigeon-holes, the regular openings can also house decorative or practical items such as textiles, advertising leaflets, newspapers and, of course, wine bottles.  Simple and handsome, it is the perfect setup for anywhere!
