Promising review: "I love my sign! Had this custom made for our best friends who are always having us over for dinner...asked Christina [the owner] if she could make a couple of tweaks as we're not big beer drinkers — she gave us a cocktail and a wine option — both looked amazing! Instead a location (since we eat inside sometimes too) I added the 3 stars, which is the sign of a top restaurant. Great eye for design and it looks just like the picture — super sharp — they will love it! Christina was very easy to communicate with and professional, I would highly recommend her and her signs!" —Alison Caputo

It is really heavy so if you want to hang it make sure you have a stud. It’s weight allows it to stay tilted on the ground too without moving around... I was really hesitant but it looks like something from West Elm." —Dan Schwalbe

I bought three pillows from this company... [and] they are so adorable, well made, soft and comfy. They aren't realistic but are exactly what I wanted, whimsical succulent and leaf pillows to spruce up our living room.

This versatile rug has over 24,000 5-star ratings — reviewers are OBSESSED!

Promising reviews: "It’s so soft. I did not expect it to be quite as nice as it is. So obviously I immediately purchased several more in varying sizes. Then they were so nice I got more for a second room. I blame the first long luxurious black faux fur sheepskin-shaped one...I want more... I will be getting more. I need furry walls. I just want to lay in them forever. They’re soft and luxurious, and magical. You’ll forget the world is awful." —Hilary J.

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "This is a great addition to any patio. It is so comfortable I have fallen asleep a few times since using it. The pocket is perfect for storing anything. I generally put a book or phone in it but have also put a small water bottle as well. You can sit with feet dangling or curl up fully into the hammock. I am 5'2" and I have extra room inside to move around. You can add in some pillow for comfort but don't get too hard of pillow as they will fight with you on space. I do recommend this item." —Kit Johnson

Get it from Amazon from $49.99+ (available in four colors).

Promising review: "This was exactly what we needed for the backyard. It definitely provides enough privacy, and it gives the backyard a very nice ambiance! The leaves completely blend in with the other trees and plants we have in the backyard, and it looks like we made a huge upgrade in our gardening game. I'm now just hoping it can withstand the AZ summer and not fade with the sun (product description does state fade resistant). Don't be hesitant with purchasing; it's totally worth it!!" —Amazon Customer

Get a roll from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three sizes). You'll need some green zip ties to secure them, too.

Promising review: "This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light (but it's not too bright. I use it in the evenings when I'm trying to wind down before bed and it's bright enough to light up my room without feeling like it's going to mess up my sleep cycles). Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" —Amazon customer

"I am absolutely OBSESSED with these shelves. I now have two of the 3-shelf no trim mount block shelves and am likely to order more in the future. They look exactly the same in person as they do on the website, are super easy to install (and the instructions are VERY clear and simple), are sturdy/hold a fair amount of weight, and the customer service is fantastic. I just can't say enough about this product and this company." —Kaleigh Schaal
