Thanks to my fantastic gal Michelle for sharing this email with me! According to Anthropologie, "Fifty billion plastic bottles were consumed in the U.S. alone last year - 38 billion of which ended up in landfills.

Behold. The Saarinen Table by Knoll. Sleek pedestal base. Clean, contemporary marble top. Price: $1300-$5500. See here. (Via Desire to Inspire). (Via Design Sponge). (Via Desire to Inspire).

We also hope you don't find the mashed up cheerios in your suitcase. And we really hope you can peacefully sleep-in after barging in your room at 5am and pounding on your belly.
