These are some ideas how you would enhance the setting of your home.
A night light is an age-old solution, but this egg-shaped lamp from Uncommon Goods offers an unique twist. Made from ceramic, the "Star Egg Night Light" has tiny holes in it that shine pinpricks of light on the ceiling. At night, it looks like there are stars above your kid's bed. The handmade lamp stands 8.5 inches high, 6 inches wide.
If you're looking for Halloween decorations for your yard that don't involving maiming and de-seeding innocent pumpkins, these illuminated pumpkins from Frontgate might do the trick. The thin steel frame makes them a little classier than many Halloween decorations I've seen (why won't the guy next door get rid of the giant blow-up pumpkin in his yard?), and the light will help Trick-or-Treaters find the front door on the big night. Unlike the real thing, these decorations can be used year after year.
It's hard to get many men excited about shopping for kitchen appliances, but Heartland Appliances is trying to change things up. Ok, a biker themed refrigerator isn't for everyone, but if you're a die-hard bachelor (or a lady who just loves her bikes), you'll want to check out these Ten50 fridges. The Harley Davidson model comes complete with style flames, chrome detailing, and revving handles.

Corner Gas FireplaceWith the rising prices of heat, a lot of folks are looking toward fireplaces as energy alternatives this year. A wood stove insert is a better bet, but if you're looking for something that heats and looks snazzy too, think about Heatilator.
Portable Ice MakerIf you like to entertain, but you're not looking to install a complete outdoor kitchen (or satellite kitchen in another part of your house), a portable ice maker can make serving chilled beverages easy, without the hassle of installing a permanent unit.
Footflush-No Handstoilet FlusherYou may cringe at the idea of putting your hand on the same toilet-flushing handle as everyone in the house uses. At Foot Flush, the flusher rests on the floor, and you simply pump it once with your foot to activate the toilet.
Ceiling Fan With Hepa FilterThe bladeless Purifan system is designed to replace a traditional ceiling fan and uses about the same amount of energy. Instead of simply recirculating air, the fan cleanses it.
Portable DishwasherFor most kitchens, a mounted dishwasher is more desirable, but if you do a lot of entertaining in an area away from your kitchen (bar, pool house, etc.) a portable dishwasher might be a worthwhile investment.
Wood Range HoodsIf you've got a lot of wood in your kitchen, a wood range hood insert might complement the existing decor nicely. Numerous companies specialize in range hoods, so if it's remodeling time, don't feel you're stuck with the choices Home Depot offers.
