Life really can be good with LG

Monday, October 8th, 2007

We’ve all heard the LG slogan, “Life’s good with LG”… well they might be right! Browsing the Internet and looking at washers, dryers and washer/dryer combos today, I came across a very interesting and stylish washer by LG.
The LG WM2688H is a revolutionary new washer with steam cleaning built in. The steam helps to deep […]

Steel wires and glass - Platner Coffee Table

I then decided to find a few […]

Sustainability is good. It’s especially nice when it’s a consideration for things like personal accessories, home fashions and other semi-disposable items… the type of things that get discarded when they go out of style.
That’s why the Kathy mini wallet from Angela Adams (at Design Public) caught my eye. It’s made of sustainable fabric containing 100% […]
