Outdoors: Rustic Storage

From Julie:

Although these rustic outdoor storage pieces from Santa Barbara–based Country Barn Collection are meant for equestrians, we think they’d look great anywhere. Made from reclaimed Douglas fir or redwood, the armoires start at $2,995 and the feed bins (we see them as outdoor garbage can storage) start at $1,195.

Storage: Metropolitan Produce Pot and Pan Rack

From Julie:

Ricocheting around the web recently: New York–based Metropolitan Produce’s Pot and Pan Rack, fashioned from a reclaimed beam inscribed with grooves for kitchen storage and bolted to the wall. Via Swiss Miss, Apartment Therapy, Materialicious. Not for the faint of wallet: it’s $3,500 (see the outraged comments at Materialicious—as well as editor Justin Anthony’s response: “Make your own, then”).

Bath: Shower Storage System

From Janet:

Some of us struggle with the issue of where to store supplies in the shower. Not happy with the idea of suction-cup soap holders or over-the-shower-head shampoo racks? Consider the versatile Mercer Bath System, $149 from Pottery Barn. Install the 36-inch-long bar in your shower or bath and you get instant storage: three hooks and two hanging caddies (one round and one rectangular), perfect for stashing shampoo, soap, sponges. Bonus: the polished nickel finish is lacquered to stand up to moisture.

Galvanized Cube Storage Table

From Janet:

There are some pieces of furniture that can fit almost anywhere. Such is the case with the Galvanized Cube Storage Table. Somehow it is modern, rustic and classic all at once. I envision this as a bedside table in a kids room; a console in a family room; or storage table in an office. Only $163 at the Container Store.

Storage: Under Stair Appliances

From Janet:

Here’s a clever idea when space is tight: tuck appliances in the underused area below a stairway. From London-based Domane interior design group.

A few ideas for simple wood box storage, ideal for storing everything from office files and magazines to linens and kitchenwares.

Below: My favorite is the great-looking Snack Box from Ikea, made of birch plywood and galvanized steel fittings. $19.99 for the large size (22 by 14 5/8 by 11 3/4 inches); $9.99 for the smaller size (14 5/8 by 11 by 5 7/8 inches).

Update: Jasper Morrison Crate Controversy

From Julie:

Last week’s post on Jasper Morrison’s Crate generated a bit of controversy: Over at Yahoo’s Shine, staffer Anne Ichikawa called it “redonkulous.” Another reader said, “This looks and feels like an April Fool’s joke.” We did a bit of sleuthing and turned up a great piece in the International Herald Tribune,” which asks the question: “Why has the Crate become the most controversial object in design?”

Here’s the backstory: “When Established & Sons commissioned a piece from Jasper Morrison, he set out to design a bedside table. He concluded that he could not improve upon the old wooden wine crate in which he stored books beside his bed: ‘The main reason I did it was because I liked the old crate and wanted a couple more,’ Morrison says. The Crate is almost identical to the original, but it’s made from higher quality wood—Douglas fir, rather than splintery pine—and the joints are stronger. The only distinguishing feature is a small stamp on its side.”

At the very least, Morrison’s Crate reminds us how much we like simple forms and humble materials. It also reminded us to visit Established & Sons, where we discovered some new Jasper Morrison pieces in the Crate Series, which we instantly fell in love with. (For an update on what E & S is up to at the Milan Furniture Fair, go to Dwell.) In NYC, Moss carries pieces from the Crate Series; although these new designs are not on the site yet.
