On a recent visit to Retrofit Home I could not come up with a single Daily Find. Instead, I came up with several. Let's start with the eye-catching, lacquered, polyresin pieces. The group includes picture frames with a textured floral motif, antler shaped wall sconces, candlestick holders and vases. The pieces sport colors that demand your attention including aqua, lime green and kelly green ($15.50-$89).

Bored with your basic black laptop case? Check out the Acme Made laptop carriers in cool patterns and prints in fabrics ranging from ballistic nylon to fancy leather ($165-$325). My laptop would be way more fun to tote in a carrier with a giant orange flower blossom on it.

Polka-dot pillows, tropical print pillows, floral print pillows, swirly patterned pillows, silk "box" pillows-see where this is heading? The shop has hip pillows for any abode and budget ($30-$100). Owner Jon Milazzo recommends buying a pair and then a third non-matching pillow for added interest.

Finally, don't miss Milazzo's bunny art. Pieces run the gamut from cute to quirky (all under $200). Milazzo incorporates concrete board, fabric, oil pastel, paint, antique buttons, found metal and paper in mixed media wall art.
