Here’s a new design from one of our manufacturers, Stone Forest. The Wood-L Slab Pedestal, which was recently reviewed on 3 Rings, is a vanity that will make you feel like you are truly in the middle of the forest. Reviewer Joseph Starr says the piece is quite evocative, taking him to a place where he can “hear towering trees of granite, smell eager tendrils of alabaster marble, and feel an earthen floor of deeply-veined quartzite. I’m not sure the company means to provoke this imaginative musing, but they definitely aspire toward employing the bounty of the environment.”

“Atlas keeps the pulse on every style. Whether you find solace in a sleek warehouse loft or bask in a sun-drenched Mediterranean villa.”-AtlasHomeWares.com
What’s not to love about the hardware at Atlas. The founders came up with the idea when they couldn’t find any decorative hardware for their own kitchen cabinets so they decided to create something similar in style to the jewelry line they owned.
Kitchens.com calls their handcrafted Hampton Collection a cross between “natural inspiration with modern design. Bound in bamboo, oil-rubbed bronze wire or silver wire, the pulls are available in a standard 5¼-inch length or a mega 10-inch size.”
