Design Within Reach has added another branch to their division. Tools For Living is at 142 Wooster Street. It’s in that cool double height space which used to have that awesome lizard tile pattern on the ceiling. Anyway - the store only sells accessories and smaller items. Everything from kitchen stuff to kids toys (see above photo) to gardening tools. Some if it is weird - there is a red rubber ball for sale, and some of it is great - they have a terrific magnetic map of the world that comes with metal pins that can be moved around. DWR is having a store wide 10% sale until October 14th. Run - dont’ walk!

Room and Board, one of my favorite sources has a new sofa which I love.  The Reese, is new to the line and terrific looking.  It comes in 85″ and also has coordinates if you want to make it into a sectional.  It comes stocked in a great fabric and the other choices are quite nice.  My only complaints about Room and Board are it’s website which is written in Flash.  This makes it difficult to download images for presentation purposes.  I also find their fabrics nice but somewhat confining.
