CROSBY BEDROOM COLLECTION IN ESPRESSO

Surround yourself with the classic beauty of English Colonial furniture that has been updated with modern details when you add pieces from the Crosby Bedroom Collection to your sleep space.

Pottery Barn x Habitat for Humanity ReStore & Spring 2017 (7)Choose the entire collection, which includes a bed, tall dresser and bedside table in rich espresso. or, choose your favorite pieces from Crosby and mix them with other traditionally styled espresso or white bedroom furniture from Pottery Barn to create the exact look you want. Then, to maintain that look, dusting the wood with a soft cloth is all that’s needed to keep it looking like new. 

The bed is typically the focal point of any bedroom, and doubly so when it is an elegant sleigh bed. The Crosby headboard features a delicate curve and understated, beautifully-proportioned molding details. This bed comes in king and queen sizes to accommodate the size of your room, and its slat-roll support system supports your mattress with or without a box spring. This lets you position the mattress higher or lower as needed to suit your needs. Complete the look and settle in for a good night’s sleep with soft sheets, a cozy throw and a comforter or duvet from our bedding collections.

Put your alarm clock or phone-charging station on the bedside table within easy reach for convenience. Adjustable levelers make it easy to ensure the top is level so your things stay put. Crosby’s night stand has simple, classic lines to complement the sleigh bed. It is crafted from poplar wood with a silky-smooth finish. Tongue-and-groove frame construction and English dovetail joinery in the drawer makes this bedside table a quality piece. In addition to the drawer, this stand provides storage space on its lower shelf, where you can stack your favorite books or put a basket to hold small items.

Keep your room organized and neat when you store your clothes in the tall dresser from the Crosby collection. The dresser has five deep drawers with plenty of space to hold your items. The hardware comes in a nickel finish on the white models and glowing bronze on the espresso pieces, adding some extra eye-appeal. Adjustable levelers make it easy to set up the dresser, and, like the bedside stand, it features English dovetail joinery drawers and tongue-and-groove frame construction. Half-moon stops in these items make sure the drawers stay in the frames.

CALISTOGA BEDROOM COLLECTION in CALHOUN OAK

Imagine coming home after a long day and breathing a sigh of relief as you walk into your bedroom. You’re enveloped in the gentle, understated elegance and beauty of a wine country inn. That is precisely the experience you get when you make the Calistoga Bedroom Collection from Pottery Barn a part of your bedroom decor. The Calistoga collection features the look of natural fibers and stunning wood grain with the warmth of oak. Match these furniture pieces up with adornments that speak to you, including earth-toned drapes and comforters. Spread natural-fiber rugs on the floor to complete the look.

Pottery Barn x Habitat for Humanity ReStore & Spring 2017 (3)The Calistoga bed combines the elegant curves of a sleigh bed with the modern flair of an upholstered headboard. The main part of the headboard is upholstered with a layer of washed grainsack flax fabric that provides a neutral-toned backdrop to enhance the rest of your bedroom decor, such as throw pillows, sculptures and lamps. The headboard and footboard of this bed are attached to the side rails with a strong hook system, and the slat roll foundation means box springs are not needed to support your mattress. Strong Queen Anne S-shaped legs support this bed, which comes in your choice of sizes to fit your available space.

Set up your room with the extra-wide dresser conveniently positioned along one wall so you can easily access your clothes and stored items. This dresser features six curved-front drawers, and each drawer can hold up to 26 pounds. The dresser is crafted with English and French dovetail joinery techniques, giving you the strength and beauty of an heirloom-quality piece of furniture. Solid wood glides make the drawers slide in and out smoothly when you pull on the hardware handles.

Roll over in bed and turn on the lamp on your Calistoga bedside table to illuminate the room. This bedside stand features one curved front drawer and one shelf to keep important items close by at night. This table is lightly curved on the front edge of the tabletop and its S-curved legs to complement the other pieces in this set. The drawer is able to hold all of your essentials, and the strong shelf has the capacity to hold larger items or those you prefer to keep easily accessible in baskets – you can stack it with books, put a stone sculpture on it or fill a decorative box or basket with items you want to keep stored in an out-of-the-way spot.

NEW! Roller bath bomb

 They see me rolling 

*Oxford Street and Lush Kitchen exclusive Get the ball rolling on luxurious pampering with this simmering bomb of melting Fair Trade organic cocoa butter and fruity, floral fragrance. As it travels around your bath, the waters are infused with zesty Brazilian orange and geranium to lift your mood and tonka, which adds a warm caramel to the creamy cocoa butter slip left on the skin.

NEW! Over and Over bath bomb 

Just roll with it 

No it’s not all in your head. This enlivening cocoa butter coated lime and fennel oil bomb will perk you up and leave you thinking about it over and over again. Be mesmerized by its hypnotic rocking and rolling, as a vibrant citrus firework of pinks, oranges and golds unfurls your bath.

NEW! Cupid bath bomb 

A sure-fire way to send hearts a quiver

 Bestill your beating heart with an opulent bath time bouquet of calming rose and bergamot. This fantastically floral fizzer is full of uplifting bergamot, rose and violet leaf absolute, and its subtle sweetness is sure to melt your heart as it melts into your bathwater.

Lover Lamp bath bomb 

They call me Mr. Bombtastic 

Off with the Fair Trade organic cocoa butter hearts! Watch them melt and coat the skin in heavenly moisture while its citrusy fragrance of Brazilian orange oil and vanilla absolute lifts your mood. 

Rose Bombshell bath bomb

 Drop a bombshell 

Love is blind, which is a shame because this bombshell with a floral triplet of yellow rose petals, rose absolute and rose oil is an enthralling spectacle. As it fizzes, the outer shell breaks away and magnificent petals burst out in a sweet haze of Sicilian lemon and floral geranium oils. 

NEW! Lovestruck bubble bar

 Who’s giving you heart eyes? 

Words can’t describe how much you love them, but emojis filled with lemon and geranium sure can. If you heart bubbles, crumble under running water – you’re sure to like the result. Warning: These refreshing citrusy suds may make you feel Emoji-nal!

 

Ladybird bubble bar 

Snug as a bug in the tub 

This friendly little ladybird wants to take you under its wing and run you a hot floral bath, filled with sweet geranium oil to aid relaxation. A little peppermint oil gives a menthol hint to this flowery mix, helping to revive and uplift mind and body as you soak. Go all out for mountains of cheery bubbles or save a little for next time.

Unicorn Horn bubble bar

 They’re real 

Unicorns are probably real. But, even if they’re not (don’t worry they definitely are) you won’t mind! Relaxing lavender oil meets mood-brightening neroli in this lustre-filled bar. Neroli oil increases serotonin levels in the brain which makes us feel contented and cheery, so you can ponder the existence of magical creatures while building a fairytale landscape of feel-good, fragrant bubbles.

NEW! Two Hearts Beating as One bath melt

 Heart crossed lovers 

Set your spirit free with a union of ylang ylang and rose oils, and be mesmerized as they dance their dizzyingly floral dance in your bathwater. And, while all eyes are on the coral and magenta magic unfurling in your tub, an entourage of softening organic cocoa butter and almond oil will bestow your body with a conditioning caress.Lush Valentine's 2017 (1)Love Spell massage bar

 Softens like a charm 

Follow your heart straight to this creamy, Fair Trade, organic cocoa butter bar, filled with rich rose hip syrup and spicy carnation absolute. Fair Trade organic aloe vera gel soothes your blushes while uplifting neroli and organic lemon myrtle takes you to a higher plane. Cast a spell over a skin, or over a partner, with this romantic, floral bar.

The Kiss lip gloss 

Pucker up 

Kisses are so much sweeter when they’re infused with Fair Trade shea butter from the Ojoba women’s cooperative in Ghana. This soft, hydrating butter will moisturise your skin, while Kalahari melon and organic jojoba oils add a touch of the exotic. Organic illipe oil and agave syrup give a lovely slip and delicious shine to your lips too. Who could resist?

The Kiss lip scrub

 It’s a scrub-affair Giving some sugar?

Make sure you get some in return. This smoothing blend of fine sea salt, caster sugar and Fair Trade cocoa butter will soften the skin and leave a delicious taste on the lips. A little almond and mandarin oil sweetens, and the edible hearts? They’re just for your enjoyment. Savour it all to yourself or share with your Valentine.

Prince Charming shower cream

 Ridicule is nothing to be scared of 

Your search for a handsome rinse ends here. Whether you’re awaking from a particularly long slumber or prepping for the ball of the century, sweet marshmallow root and vanilla pod infusion will sweep you off your feet. And who needs a shoe as a souvenir? Invigorating fresh pomegranate juice and grapefruit oil will linger on skin for longer than any glass slipper could last.

NEW! Love You, Love You Lots soap 

Say it with roses 

Shower in them, bathe in them, uplift your mind, body and soul with them – nothing beats a rose to show you feel the throws of passion, and there’s four kinds in this luxurious lather. Rose petal infusion, rose oil, rose syrup and even fresh rose petals find their way into this love potion to give you a blooming good clean. Can you feel the love? You can now.

NEW! Kiss Me Quick wash card

because I love you so!

Hold this floral fresh apple pulp wash card close and let the enzymic oil of brightening lemons and limes accompany you into the shower. Lather up and rinse off, you will be left with nothing but fruity fresh, soft skin. These soapy sheets are super handy for sharing, travelling and work fantastically as sweet-scented shampoo too.

When Franck Mesnel speaks of Eden Park, rugby is never too far behind. Mixing styles has always been part of the way he thinks. For years, he was the front man of top-class rugby (56 selections for the French Rugby Team), on the hunt for new adventures (architect student at the Beaux Arts, publicist, entrepreneur) and cultivated elegance and humor in sport.

His greatest success dates back to 1987 with the Racing Club de France. In the final of the French Championships at the Parc des Princes against Toulon, Franck Mesnel and his teammates played the match wearing pink bow ties around their necks. Why a pink bow tie? “We came up with this idea the night before the game,” he remembers. They may have lost the game but they entered into sporting history.

A true Parisian, Franck Mesnel does not have the classic profile of a rugby player. At the time, rugby was an amateur sport which paid little. After his architect studies, Franck Mesnel needed to find a job. He started at Euro RSCG, and became a junior publicity officer. Sharing his time between training sessions and his new job, his timetable was not like that of his colleagues. For a long time he played with the ideas of ecological architecture, piloting and wine making. In the end, he decided to enter the textile market and to become the first to make the rugby jersey a fashionable item.

He created the brand in November 1988. For 7 years, he continued to play with the French Rugby Team, a team which he is very proud to dress today.

Presently, Eden Park is a leader on the market and Franck Mesnel is still very much involved in the day-to-day running of the company.

In the Philippines, Eden Park is located at Central Square in Bonifacio High Street Central, Estancia in Capitol Commons, and Kiss and Fly in NAIA Terminal 3. Visitfacebook.com/EdenParkPhilippines and follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more information.

Committed to be the number one salesman of local produce, DA Sec. Manny Piñol reiterates his support to agricultural entrepreneurs across the country and promote Philippine agricultural products, which are truly world-class.
