chicago-based sprout home is a wonderful online resource for all your design needs. if you’re like me and you’re trying to find something cool and interesting to give to friends and family- give sprout home a try. while they have some very velocity-like standards (thomas paul pillows), they carry some interesting homewares that i haven’t seen anywhere else online yet. so, stop on by and see if you can’t find some cool presents for the holiday season…
EARTHY SERVINGWARE [oval platters*sprout home] made from renewable acacia wood, it’s the eco way to serve…
LEAFY EATS [3 piece leaf dishes*sprout home] a good way to bring the outdoors in…
WRAP IT UP [pink felt garland*sprout home] I LOOOOVE THIS STUFF. pretty cool way to decorate in an environmentally friendly way…you could reuse it later too, maybe a cute belt or strap for a hand-made bag?
STACK IT [kiri magazine rack*sprout home] made from gorgeous native japanese wood
SHADY [white shady tree lamp*sprout home] i love the view from below….so peaceful

thank you for design*sponge
you rawk!!
I’m in Chicago and I live right around the corner from Sprout Home, but haven’t gone in because I thought it was just plants and garden stuff… I’m embarassed that I have to find out about place right around the corner from a Brooklyn-based site, but I can put the shame aside in search of good design. Thanks, Grace! (And know that any Chicago-based links will be devoured by your fans in Middle West!)

awww, thanks you guys! glad to be of some help!

Sprout Home has a really nice store design, too. They originally bought an olfd building to rehab, but then found out that it was structurally unsafe, so they tore it down and built a really nice replacement. Glass, cement, and woods on the facade, a stairway to the roof for additional plants and pots, a raw cement interior with products providing the warmth. I dig it.
