Pre-seasoned cast-iron skillet

As summer nights and fresh new produce beg for home-cooked meals, this good-looking cast-iron skillet will be your new best friend. The details are not just in the aesthetics, as the coated handle prevents it from getting too hot to handle, and the angles are perfect for pouring. The skillet is also pre-seasoned, so you can wash it with soap. Find it for $270 at The Cook Store.

Coffee “keepcup”

You know life is getting busy when you don’t even have time for your morning coffee. This “keepcup” will keep your coffee warm and your system caffeinated on the craziest of days. With a covered mouthpiece and a protective sleeve of cork, this reusable, earth-friendly coffee cup ensures a pleasing on-the-go java experience. Find it for $30 at Revelator Coffee Company.

HOME DECOR

Chinook wooden spike & Octavios tray

This Chinook wooden spike is a modern twist on the rustic driftwood trend. Placed in a handsome wooden Octavios tray, this fab centerpiece can easily dress up any coffee table. Or place it on a bookshelf or sideboard arrangement to add visual interest and texture. Find the Chinook wooden spike for $103 and the Octavios tray for $133 at Stock & Trade Design Co.

Antique Italian console table

This stunning 1700s Italian console table features the original paint in a gorgeous timeworn patina. This table works well anywhere, be it in a rustic farmhouse or in a traditional Tudor mansion. Find it for $3,600 at Lolo French Antiques et More.

Puzzle hides

Cowhide rugs are trendy yet classic. These “puzzle hide” rugs consist of four Brazilian cowhide rugs sewn together for the most durable and highest quality hides around. Add a wild touch of style to any room in the house. Find the champagne hide for $4,000 and the grey hide for $5,000 at Paige Albright Orientals.

Taffy vases

Add a colorful dose of art-forward intrigue to your coffee table or sideboard arrangement with these “taffy” vases. Taffy vases are made when molten, colored glass is poured over each clear vase in artistic, Jackson Pollack-like swirls. Once cooled, the vases are sandblasted, which frosts the glass and lends an intriguing patina. When paired with colorful pink blooms, these tall turquoise vases are simply stunning. Find them in small, medium and large, ranging from $55 to $79, at Defining Home.

Ceramic sink

Spring cleaning may have sparked some ideas about remodeling or updating your home, and Southern Bath & Kitchen has a host of beautiful pieces, like this ceramic Kohler sink, to take your bathroom from blah to bangin’! The unique color and texture enhance this stylish statement piece. Find it for $533 at Southern Bath & Kitchen.
