Whether you’re at home in you kitchen, or in the garden, near a barbeque, or in a fancy restaurant, or driving in your car, or exchanging business cards with an important person, or just arriving somewhere and looking for a hook to put your coat on, you’ll be surround by stainless steel.
You might think this material is so usual that it has nothing classy in it. Well, you are very very wrong. Polished with the latest technologies and designed in a modern and minimalist manner, nowadays stainless steel accessories are a real example of fine art.
Some companies, like blomus, dedicate their work in creating products, like: stainless steel mailboxes, or stainless steel fireplace accessories, office, outdoor, relaxation, cooking, dining and other dedicated items. You can find their products by simply searching for “blomus stainless steel mailboxes” or “blomus stainless steel fireplace accessories”, for example.
My personal favorites are the stainless steel fire pit, the letterbox, the aromatherapy burner, the waste paper basket (I already have one, but it’s black) and the tea warmer hot plate.

Have you ever wondered how does Miley Cirus or Christina Aguilera’s dressing rooms looks like? Or maybe you have a favorite star and would like to get inspired for your own? Well, I have found on instyle.com some celebrity dressing rooms and they are unbelievable. I’ve noticed that the most common thing in all of their dressers are the tons of shoes. Maybe when i’ll have the change of owning my own big dressing room I will get inspired as well.
Miley Cirus
"I wanted it to be very girlie and fashiony, kind of like a boutique," says the budding style star of her dressing room, in her North Hollywood home. "My mom assembled the chandelier and put on every single one of the crystals," says Miley. "And the design of it is the same as the printed ones on the walls! The hot pinks—the blacks—we love color!"
Christina Aguilera
"Everything on my shoe wall is grouped by designer—Louboutin, McQueen, YSL—all in their own little family," says Aguilera. "And there’s room for boots up top."
Olivia Wilde
About her 19th-century mirrored vanity: "It’s from the South of France and has never been restored"
Fergie
"I designed it myself, so there’s a boudoir-boutique feel."
Eva Longoria
"Tony loves me in Uggs. He says, ‘Wear your Hugs, honey’—that’s how he pronounces it with his French accent."
Nicky Hilton
"My Manolos are together, Chanels are together, Louboutins together."
Kimora Lee Simmons
"I wanted my closet to look like a boutique. I’m very neurotic is what my closet says about me. It’s always in great order."
Paula Abdul
"A comfortable pair of jeans, a great belt, and a leather jacket is all I need."
Mariah Carey
"I have about 1,000 pairs of shoes. But lots are in storage"
Jamie Lynn Sigler
"For years I have not been able to find anything in my closet," says Sigler. "Now I see all my clothes shoes and accessories, even some stuff I completely forgot I had .. with the tags still on them!"
Maria Menounos
"I hate shopping. Really. I used to go to the mall once a year and just stock up on white T-shirts, tanks, socks and necessities. Now I need nice clothes for my career."

Have you ever imagined that stones could be comfortable and that you would take great pleasure in relaxing on them? Well these are not actual stones, but at a first sight you could swear they are real. In fact this is a collection from Smarin, a French design company by designer Stephanie called “Livinstones”. I’m sure your entire family would like it, especially your children.
The pebbles are available in various sizes, shapes and earth tone colors.
