Shown from left to right:

Felco #2 Classic Pruner, $44
Whether your garden is a window box or an acre-plus, this Swiss-engineered tool makes the cut, neatly trimming branches up to a half inch in diameter and even clipping wire. Bonus: The ergonomic design and the red rubber handles are gentle on the wrist.
To Buy: www.smithandhawken.com.

Troutman Carolina Rocking Chair, $229
The cradle and the rocking horse begat the rocking chair, so it's easy to understand why this timeless painted-oak version appeals to people of all ages. No porch should be without one — or two.
To Buy: www.oakrockers.com.

CB2 Peekaboo Console, $329
Never have a table's merits been so crystal clear. This durable molded-acrylic model by CB2, Crate & Barrel's offspring, doesn't steal the show from what hangs above or sits on top, and it's narrow enough for a hallway. Size: 38 by 15 1/4 by 29 inches.
To Buy: www.cb2.com.

White + Warren Cashmere Throw, $275
Made of sumptuous 100 percent cashmere, this gossamer-thin travel wrap doubles beautifully as a luxurious throw. It can accentuate a sofa, an armchair, or you, when you curl up with a good book or pop in a movie.
To Buy: www.whiteandwarren.com.

Danielle Pedestal Magnifying Mirror, $90
Smudged lip liner? Errant eyelash? Not even minor makeup mishaps escape the scrutiny of this telescoping chrome mirror, which has 5X magnification on one side and, for rough mornings, a standard reflection on the other.
To Buy: www.boydsnyc.com.
