Simplehuman Grocery Bag Holder by Tim Yu
Not all that impressed with the new Simplehuman sensor can, I recently bought the basic, but arguably more functional, wall-mountable grocery bag holder. This sleek, brushed stainless-steel storage unit solved my problems with unruly plastic bags spewing out of drawers and cabinets. Instead, it collects, compacts and stores away my plastic bags to recycle them for future use. Surprisingly, it fits more than 30 bags, which are easily deposited through the top hole and dispensed like a tissue. The slim profile makes it easy to mount in inconspicuous locations, but is plenty attractive to display in the open.
And unlike Simplehuman's other pricey products, the holder's only $10 from Simplehuman.

Vintage French Soap Hook
by Passa Chattra After realizing this wasn't an egg screwed into the wall, I had the "ah-ha!" feeling upon learning it is in fact a vintage soap hook. Made by Pro Ven Di, it was originally designed for French public school bathrooms and adds a little charm to a daily (at least, we hope) process. The solid chrome bracket can be mounted near the...
