Bridge Props doesn't usually sell outside of the trade, but right now, it's offering local NYC, Los Angeles, and Atlanta communities the option to buy these pieces for their spaces at steep discounts and deals.

I’ve always wanted to offer a really simple, really reliable online framing solution. Now, by teaming up with Simply Framed, we’ve gone and done it.

You deserve it.

And they make great gifts!

We'll help you find one that's comfortable, attractive, and fits your budget.

A while back, I worked with the BEMZ team to design a special corduroy collection that was chic, cozy, and perennially in style. Now, I’m excited to finally reveal the brand new colors that build on the success of that project.

Hey, we’re back with our final episode in which we solve two more people’s gift giving problems. This week Nina stops by looking for a gift for her little nephew and then Brenden stops by looking for a gift for his mother, who is INCREDIBLY HARD to shop for. I think Hands and I nailed both of them and I hope you think so too.

Hey, we’re baaaaaaaaack! This week Hands and I solved more gift giving problems and ALSO had two celebrity sightings as Alvin and Whitney stopped by and sat down at our booth. Alvin was looking for a present for a design loving friend who has a small space, while Whitney wanted a housewarming present for a friend who was just moving into a new apartment this holiday season. WE NAILED IT. After offering two suggestions to each, they walked away happy with some very unique gifts.

Hey all you guys! Welcome back to our weirdest One Good Thing yet – a full on gift give away on the street in SoHo. After years of watching others do gift guides, Hands and I decided to not just put forward our favorite gift finds of the year, but to give them all away to folks we met on the street. It was not only a great service to perform, it was fun and got us right into the holiday spirit. Check out this unique setup and enjoy the holidays, no matter how you spend them!

Welcome back to our tour of the city… looking for good ideas that are RIGHT under our noses. This week I got to visit Hands at home. Yes, that’s right, Hands has a lovely small apartment in the West Village where all the magic happens. In this visit Hands shows me great, space saving dish rack that has made her space work so well in the sink department. Originally a great IKEA design, I’ve now been able to find a few spin-off since the Swedish Giant discontinued the design.

Hey Everybody! Welcome back to One Good Thing, still out and about and looking for good ideas wherever they are popping up. This week I went back to the restaurant I was in last week – Emporio – on Mott street to go deep on a wine cork opener that I’ve never seen before: The Cork Pops Opener. This handy little gadget is so easy to use and so cool to show off using that I just had to share it.

Hey! Welcome back to One Good Thing – still out and about and collecting ideas in the city for you to use at home. This week Hands and I stumble into a super cute Italian restaurant – Emporio – on Mott street and settle in for a fine lunch in the sunshine. Before the food comes I highlight their excellent choice of glassware, napkin-ware and their outdoor table, all of which is classy, affordable and would be great at home, indoors or outdoors.

HEY EVERYONE and welcome back to One Good Thing! This week Hands and I walk down Crosby Street – right near our office – and find a super cute seating arrangement right outside of The Alchemists Kitchen, which is a cool, new store and cafe with herbal supplements, CBD and a “whole plant tonic bar.

Hey Everybody! After being stuck inside my house for the past year and a half Hands and I decided to get out and about – traveling around our city to find good things right under our noses. So many good things that I pick up for my life come from seeing them out in the world – at other folk’s homes, restaurants and hotels – there is really nothing better for good ideas than getting out and about. It’s time to get out and about!

Welcome back to One Good Thing back in my kitchen! This week I want to share a little change I made in my composting ritual that has made my life better – I’ve traded in my stainless steel composting bucket that sat on the floor for a neat and tidy countertop composter from JosephJoseph.

Welcome back to One Good Thing!!! I’m excited as ever this week because it’s FALL (and I love fall), and we’re rolling into our new season of OGTs, AND this one was so successful that my daughter stole all the props to build this into her own bathroom. It’s the best vote I could get.What is it that I’m talking about? I’m talking about taking tension rod hacks to the next level with a BIG DADDY TENSION ROD with which to make your shower storage even better.

Welcome back to One Good Thing! This week I got a tip from a friend that there was a new trend around washing your clothes at home with this thing called the Breathing Mobile Washer. At first, I was skeptical and I also thought it looked like a plunger, but then I tested it and found it to be a surprisingly smart new tool for the home. Why?

Hello to all of you and welcome back to One Good Thing! We’re back in the saddle this week, kicking off a new run of One Good Things which focus on cleaning and organizing inside your home. This week I wanted to highlight a really nice, simple under-sink cleaning setup that I’ve been using. It’s made my life easier and also made me feel better since I’m finally switched to cleaning products that employ eco-friendly tablets and reusable bottles.

Welcome back to One Good Thing again on TikTok! Why? Because it was a fun challenge and we’re playing around with everything.

Welcome back to One Good Thing for a special TikTok edition with a guest appearance by my colleague, Karis Danish, who is the Boss Lady on every episode we shoot. This week I wanted to share a truly 2021 product – the simplehuman cleanstation – which is a germaphobe must-have since we all apparently touch our phones 2,617 times per day! This new gadget uses 30 high-intensity UV-C LED lights to blast your phone for 30 seconds, killing 99.

Welcome back to One Good Thing @ Home! This week I take a little detour back into my kitchen to cook up some all natural ingredients that will make you house smell lovely and get rid of old, musty smells from cooking, kids, dirty clothes, you name it. It’s getting REALLY SIMPLE this week, which I love, but I hope there’s enough “meat on the bone” for you rabid DIYers who like to fill the comments with all sorts of good old fashioned feedback. Bring it on.

Welcome back to One Good Thing, where we keep rolling! You know why? Because we’re having fun and you all seem to keep clicking on us, so that’s as good a reason as I’ve had since Covid began to keep doing anything. AND we love to be helpful.

Welcome back to One Good Thing! This week Hands is back and we’re on The Case of the Dirty Dishwasher. I recently found out that they needed to be periodically cleaned, which I had NEVER done, and which also explained why the cleaning wasn’t going so well lately (where were loose food particles and a spotting).

Welcome back to One Good Thing! We’re outdoors again, soaking up the summer and prepping for a big GRILL SEASON (we actually grilled all last weekend over the 4th. We had 12 people for the weekend – kids and laundry everywhere – but grilling outside got everyone out of the house, got the guys cooking and the food was delicious).

Welcome back to One Good Thing! We’re outdoors again this week with my final insect repellent DIY and this one might just be my very best. We will see. It’s how to get rid of fruit flies, and after years of mucking about and trying a number of different solutions I finally buckled down, did much more research and got it right.

Welcome back to One Good Thing STILL AT HOME!!! And also this week outside. Okay, full disclosure, Hands and I are playing around with our format and having fun. I’ve also chosen to go deep on insect repellants, because it’s a personal passion and I’ve been finding a bunch of really interesting new solutions.

Welcome back to One Good Thing BACK AT HOME! Yes, this week I’m back in my yard, enjoying the warm weather and sharing with you YET ANOTHER genius tip for repelling bugs – this time, yellow jackets – which can really drive you batty by getting in your food and drink on a hot summer day. This tip came from a restaurant upstate that I went to last autumn.

Welcome back to One Good Thing, but this week NOT AT HOME! This week I ventured into the city to our remarkable, amazing Small Cool Experience where we’re OPENING UP NYC again and sharing ten rooms where we challenged ten awesome designers with ten themes to see what they would do. Each got 120 square feet and an endless array of sources to choose from – furniture, art, paint, rugs, lighting – you name it; they had the works.

Welcome back to One Good Thing @ HOME! This week we’re outdoors again and I’m sharing my best tip for quickly setting up some cool outdoor lighting with bamboo poles and rubber “connectors.” String lights are great outdoors in the warm weather, but if you don’t have a way to hang them, it can be a real pain in the butt. My tripod solution is a really nice all around solution that will work anywhere you need support, and it will cost you very little.

Welcome back to One Good Thing @ Home! This week I’m starting a series of small, cool discoveries that will arm your for these lovely outdoor months – primarily how to ward of bugs of all kinds. Over the past year I’ve learned a bunch of surprising tricks that I think will really help solve this problem once and for all. In this episode I demonstrate a method I found at the Hotel San Cristobal in Baja (you’ve got to go).

Welcome back to One Good Thing… outdoors this week! This week, Hands and I are venturing outdoors, and I’ve got my favorite new Peaches suit (a birthday present because I’m a fan) on to show off some of my favorite grilling discoveries. I’m a big outdoor chef and I only have ever used charcoal, so this is a super accessible primer with a few basic tips for a large party or a very small one.

It's springtime and this week I want to change the feeling of my home without spending a penny, so I'm going to simply rearrange my living room!

A few great tips as well as an introduction to the Aarke Carbonator III, which has replaced cans and old-fashioned seltzer bottles at my house. Enjoy!

Welcome back all you Crazy Cats who sent Hands and myself great comments last week on our April Fool’s video. It was the most fun to make and it just so happens to be my favorite holiday of the year, barring Thanksgiving of course.THIS week we’ve got a great little good thing for you – but something that packs a big punch: Eucalyptus in a hot shower.

Welcome back to One Good Thing! This week I have a very special treat for you – sharing something that is dear to my heart and which I’ve been working on for many years – that is raising, Sid, my own sweet plant baby. It’s been a long haul, and Sid and I have been through a lot together. The first years were amazing, the teenage years were the hardest, and we’ve finally gotten beyond them and reached a really great place together.

Welcome back to One Good Thing @ Home! YOU’RE GOING TO FREAKIN’ LOVE THIS WEEK’S EPISODE! This may be my all time favorite because I discovered this really simple DIY to clean up my spice drawer and move everything to the wall. It’s easy, for everyone and GREAT.
