These are our "holy grail" home items — the beloved fixtures that our spaces take shape around. Sometimes, they're gloriously practical: an unrivaled bench scraper or a well-placed broom gripper . Sometimes, they're the ornaments that shift aesthetics, that offer personality to otherwise uninspiring spaces: the set of handblown glasses brought back from vacation or the incense purchased to make the olfactory experience of living in New York that much more bearable.
