New Way to Play

While a game of tag or hide-and-seek won’t harm the environment, neither will settling into a new—and decidedly more cool—Modern Playhouse. These tyke-size abodes are constructed of locally sourced and recycled materials, and the simple no-frills design won’t clash with the look of Mom and Dad’s dwelling. $1,250-$1,450. www.modern-playhouse.com.

Bubbly
We love our lighting with a touch of whimsy—and the new Aqua by Troy Lighting collection (for both indoors and out) delivers just that. The water-inspired fixtures sport hand-worked wrought iron bubbles and plenty of personality. Prices start at $252. www.troy-lighting.com.

Designer Digs
Donna Karan can do no wrong when it comes to designing timeless threads—whether for the body or the home. The bedding in the new Fall DKNY Home Collection features modern and
masculine looks and playful prints (like the pictured Wildflower Field set). www.donnakaranhome.com.

Sweet Nectar
As guests stop by your home this holiday season, greet them with the refreshing scent of the new Agave Nectar Candle ($26). The aroma of agave nectar, ruby red grapefruit, guava and lemon blossom makes for a warm welcome. www.thymes.com.
