Wednesday, March 17th, 2010French Artist Maurice Calk’s Boomerang Desk was released as a limited edition of 35 desks in the late 1960s. Now, 40+ years later, the desk is swinging back into production thanks to Calk’s son, Sergio, who has allowed reproduction in honor of his father. How nice. Now if only he could honor his father by [...]
Animal Whisks
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010Ah, the whisk. A fabulous addition to every kitchen. Embarrassingly enough, I don’t have one in my home. Why? I don’t know! Do I even need one? Yes! I do. I really do! Why haven’t I bought one? I have no idea! Someone pelase help me and send me one of the above (preferably the [...]
Your Very Own Stoop
Monday, March 15th, 2010There are a lot of benefits to living in NYC and any of its 5 boroughs. Great opportunities, culture, an exciting lifestyle and if you’re really lucky, a stoop. Stoops are especially effective for entering your home and/or drinking a forty in a brown paper bag. And if you haven’t drank a forty in a [...]
Stitch Lamp – Stitch Your Own Lampshade
Monday, March 8th, 2010Lampshades. Guh. I’ve seen my fair share of fancy ones, but never when I actually needed one. I’d request a time table from IKEA of how much time I’ve spent in their lighting section in search of a lampshade that would be mildly suitable for my taste and needs, but in the end some things [...]
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. [...]
Blood Bath… Shower Gel!
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010I happen to know a gaggle of boys who have outfitted their bathroom with the bloody shower curtain and bath mat, and I can’t help but fight the urge to enable their seemingly gross bathroom hygiene with the Blood Bath Shower Gel. It’s just too perfect…ly disgusting. But as long as they hide the bag [...]
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 [...]
Video Game Controller Wall Clips
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Think about all that time and work, all that blood and sweat that was put into the design of your video game controllers. Why shouldn’t they be on display? And what about all the things you’ve accomplished with them? Don’t you want to show off your mighty sword, rifle and ax? Of course you do, [...]
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 [...]
Cats Attack!!!
Friday, February 19th, 2010Wow. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen something so fitting for a cat. I mean, my dear friend Kibby has himself one of those cardboard tanks which he’s finally taken a liking too, but a scratch attack on a city? A perfect fit for such a little monster. But you know, the kind of [...]
Missing Sock Bin
Friday, February 19th, 2010Stupid socks. I don’t understand how of all the things I own, the things that I lose are one part of a pair. It’s gotten to the point where so many of my “good socks” have been split up and I’m left with no other choice to look stupid with mixed pairs. That’s not much [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Banana Design Lab Snugglies
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Like any convention, Toy Fair was pretty exhausting and it didn’t help that we had lunch 5 hours after I was ready to start stuffing my face. But as I nearly fell asleep, wandering the aisles of crazy people with toys, I stumbled upon the Banana Design Lab booth where I finally got to give [...]
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 [...]
Lampy Compy
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Awwww, the lampy iMac G4 was such a cute computer. My mom happens to still have one and yes, I still like to make it dance. But if it ever goes kaput, I’ll be sure to let her know her options. Though it would probably be a long time before we could find someone to [...]
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 [...]
