Keep calm and drink water.

I am trying to reduce my use of plastic water bottles for the sake of the environment. I like to have a bottle of water in bedrooms, and have not been able to figure out how to replace them. Somehow, my children’s old athletic water bottles just don’t create the look I’m going for. Old-fashioned bedside carafes are my solution. They are attractive and functional. I can fill them with filtered tap water and put one on each bedside table. I also put one on my desk.

The Cora Carafe is a two-piece hand blown glass cylinder with the cup stacked on top. It doesn’t take up much room at 3.25” diameter x 10.25” high. $14.95.
