UFO-like Domepsace Rotating Wooden House

Called a "wooden cocoon" by Gizmag.com, this house is all about warmth and being "green."

According to Gizmag, in addition to have fresh wood smell, a Domespace home has strategically-placed sloped openings so that homeowners "benefit from light pouring through at some point during the day, brightening up the interior with more natural light than vertical windows can offer."

Sounds and looks comfy as can be home.

Awesome product for the home...

Especially if you have pets. We all know they are very good at helping make for a cozy home, but can also be a little smelly.

As can dinner odors, etc.

I just found and highly recommend Zero Odor.
It's available from stores such as Bed, Bath & Beyond and Target, and it's also easy to find online.

I used this product on a basket chair that I had bought which had become a favorite napping spot for my dogs. As a result of them being on it constantly, it smelled pretty bad. But, I sprayed the Zero Odor on it and now it doesn't smell at all.

No wire hangers, but candle holders okay.

From The Art Institute of Catalog, here's a cozy touch that will also make you feel "green."

It's a Recycled Wire Candleholder Set.

Soft and cozy read

Book recommendation: Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper

Book Description (from Amazon.com)
Once in nine lives, something extraordinary happens...
The last thing Gwen Cooper wanted was another cat. She already had two, not to mention a phenomenally underpaying job and a recently broken heart. Then Gwen’s veterinarian called with a story about a three-week-old eyeless kitten who’d been abandoned. It was love at first sight.

Everyone warned that Homer would always be an "underachiever," never as playful or independent as other cats. But the kitten nobody believed in quickly grew into a three-pound dynamo, a tiny daredevil with a giant heart who eagerly made friends with every human who crossed his path. Homer scaled seven-foot bookcases with ease and leapt five feet into the air to catch flies in mid-buzz. He survived being trapped alone for days after 9/11 in an apartment near the World Trade Center, and even saved Gwen’s life when he chased off an intruder who broke into their home in the middle of the night.

But it was Homer’s unswerving loyalty, his infinite capacity for love, and his joy in the face of all obstacles that inspired Gwen daily and transformed her life. And by the time she met the man she would marry, she realized Homer had taught her the most important lesson of all: Love isn’t something you see with your eyes.

Homer’s Odyssey is the once-in-a-lifetime story of an extraordinary cat and his human companion. It celebrates the refusal to accept limits—on love, ability, or hope against overwhelming odds. By turns jubilant and moving, it’s a memoir for anybody who’s ever fallen completely and helplessly in love with a pet.
