« Previous EntriesBook Cover In 2 Minutes
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010Wow. That’s a lot of work going into a book I’m never going to read. Awwww, I’m kidding. But to be fair, I’m not judging it by its cover. I’m judging it by the stack of books that I really want to read versus the stack of books I’ve never heard of. Though, I’ll probably [...]
Bread Chairs
Thursday, March 4th, 2010You know, I’ve never really had many complaints about my chair here at work, but sometimes you just don’t know what you’re missing out on in that bigger and better world. A place where everyone loves each other, rainbows stretch from every street corner, peace is finally given a chance and [...]
Switch Me – Light Switch Or Light Trap?
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010Are you dense and forgetful? Are you too dependent on your lights? Is your electric bill too high? Do you only learn from a little pain? Wonderful. French designer Josselin Zaïgouche’s Switch Me light switch mouse trap is sure to teach you a lesson. Why you’d willingly set yourself up for pain and failure is [...]
Gummi Bear Chandelier
Monday, March 1st, 2010I got really excited when I saw this incredible gummi bear chandelier, especially since I automatically assumed it was strung together with real gummi bears. Low and behold, they’re just acrylic. I’m so disappointed. Mostly because I want my house to smell like warm candy at all times. But then again, it looks pretty freaking [...]
Magnetic Arrow Bookends
Monday, March 1st, 2010Aw, who doesn’t love a good arrow? Especially when they help you out by pointing at important things or hold your freestanding books in your bookcase like these little guys. Don’t worry, they’re not suspending in the air through the power of the dark arts, just magnets. There’s actually a metal frame, like your average [...]
Sleeved Blanket – Take That Slanket!
Thursday, February 25th, 2010When it comes to sheets with sleeves, I’ve heard from multiple sources that the Slanket puts the Snuggie to shame with its higher quality of fabrics, functionality and general way of life. I personally don’t know much about the sleeve craze since all I have is this robe and blanket, but if the Slanket is [...]
Book Shelf Shelves
Thursday, February 25th, 2010Books really have it made. I mean, all they have to do is sit around at home and be interesting. And here we are, working our butts off to supply the funds to buy them more friends and more shelves to house all their friends. Not only that, but books have the influence to call [...]
Stain Enhanced Tablecloth
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010Stains are a disaster, especially those of the wine variety. But what do you expect to happen when you put down a fancy white tablecloth? Murphy’s law, remember? Anyway, kick Murphy’s butt (and Nick Murphy’s butt while you’re at it) and beat him to the punch. Embrace the stain. Enjoy the stain. Encourage the stain. [...]
Cable Clips Make Ugly Things Pretty
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Wires and cords are ugly. Boo ugly wires and cords! But they can be pretty. Yay pretty wires and cords! And while some people would like to take a more DIY crafty approach, you can guarantee some interior goodness with the Cable Clips Wire Blooms set. All you need is a hammer. Or if your [...]
Bite Silverware
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Ever wonder what it’d look like if a shark and the hungry hungry caterpillar got into your cutlery drawer before consuming each other? Probably something like Mark Reigelman “Bite” silverware. Though something tells me we should look out for whoever was born with that silver spoon in his mouth because there’s [...]
Dirty Dishes – Sickly Rugs
Monday, February 22nd, 2010From plushy microbes to the Swine Flu scare, there’s one thing that’s for certain and it’s that humans LOVE sickness. Maybe because it’s something that’s so small but can cause so much damage. Oh wait, we’re humans. We don’t like to recognize that things that are not us can be bigger, more powerful and more [...]
Minimalist Tarantino
Monday, February 22nd, 2010It’s always nice to keep things simple. That’s why Ibraheem Youssef’s super minimalist posters are simply super awesome.
Want more? Great! There is more. Check out these designs and more (including Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill Vol. 2) here!

Toy Fair 2010: Brinca Dada’s Emerson House
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the most gorgeous doll house I have ever had the pleasure of laying eyes upon, Brinca Dada’s Emerson House. Now I understand modern architecture isn’t for everyone, but I happen to be fans of its fans. What can I say? I’m a modern girl. Must be all that [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Areaware’s Cubebot
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Wooden toys will always be a classic and transforming robots will always be a hit. So what happens when you put two together? Cubebot! Areaware’s booth was definitely a breath of fresh air deep in the dark belly of Toy Fair after aisles and aisles of boring board games and cheesy outdoor activity scooters. I [...]
Green Marker = Library Grass
Sunday, February 14th, 2010Books ooze with literary life, so it’s fitting that they do so in a physical sense too. Why not let your books grow by keeping tabs and marking your marks with the Green Marker? Before long, you can have your very own lawn in your bookshelf. Who doesn’t want that? You already have a library [...]
I Always Have To Steal My Ring Pop Kisses From You
Thursday, February 11th, 2010Wow, artist Julia Chang really knows the way straight to my heart: Candy. And lots of it. This installation was made in addition to her All For You line, a collaboration with The Standard’s new NYC store opening tomorrow, and it is entirely made of Ring Pops. Oh, delicious Ring Pop. I thought I’d never [...]
Hi-Fido
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010This week I’ve been spending a lot of time online, window shopping for things I will never buy (and avoiding the things I should). I’m not really sure what it is I’m punishing for myself for, but apparently it was really bad and all of this browsing is really starting to hurt. Like these Hi-Fido [...]
Self Slicing Pizza!
Monday, February 8th, 2010And now for the greatest invention since sliced bread, self sliced pizza! No, not a pizza with A.I. arms and lasers that can split up its own portions, but rather a cluster of pizza bites, making pizza snacking pizzatastic. Did I just say pizzatastic? Yes. Yes I did. So who’s the master brain behind this [...]
Polaroid Scarf
Monday, February 8th, 2010We can all rest assured that Polaroids are making a comeback, but just in case you really want to take that celebration to a whole new level, you can adorn your already beautiful neck (see that? I’m being nice to you!) with one of the gorgeous Polaroid scarves by Philippe Roucou, complete with white border [...]
Every Drop Counts – Soup Bowls
Sunday, February 7th, 2010London based industrial designer Ayda Anlagan has just given us a good reason to finish our soup. Like I ever needed that kind of encouragement! I’d be up for seconds before you could even congratulate me for finishing my first. That’s just how I roll. Did I mention how hungry I am? Because if someone [...]
