Some things resist easy categorization and we think that is part of what makes them worth paying attention to. The pieces gathered here did not fit neatly into a single room or a single purpose, but they kept stopping us in our tracks anyway. A object that works in the kitchen but looks just as right on a bookshelf. A find that solves a problem you did not know you had until you saw it solved. This is where those things live. We have always believed that the most interesting homes are not the ones where everything matches and every purchase was planned. They are the ones where something unexpected shows up and makes the whole room feel more like the person living in it. These picks are varied on purpose. What they share is that each one earned its place here because we could not stop thinking about it. That is usually how the best finds announce themselves.
