Etsy Fave: Peg and Awl

File this under...heavenly. I don't relax well. I'm the person whose always running around cleaning during tv shows (or inadvertently making a mess while cleaning.), the person who closes their laptop in the hopes of signing off for the night only to furtively check their BlackBerry every five minutes. It's AWFUL.

The only way I ever actually relax is a long soak. I mean, once you're in, you're invested. Bringing anything electronic near the tub is at best a very, very bad idea, and at its worst, a great way to achieve sudden death.

But what if I could achieve the holy trinity of relaxing in one sitting: reading, drinking tea (iced, please) and soaking. Well, with this lovely tub caddy from Peg and Awl I can. The piece actually has a great back story too -- the wood is reclaimed oak from an hardware store built in 1897.

Available here, but fair warning. It's pretty pricey for what amounts to a plank of wood. If you're crafty, you could probably make a similar version on your own.

Trendwatch: Heavy Metal

Don't get me wrong, I adore the free-standing tub look. Unfortunately, you can't pick up a shelter mag these days without seeing it in almost every spread. One variation on the look that I really like are these metal basins, which can look rustic or glamorous, depending on your preferred level of shine.

Do you guys agree that free-standing tubs are horribly over-exposed right now? Does it bother you? Any other ideas on how to get the look without being boring?
