This fun and whimsical clock sure beats the old ticker I have. It’s so delicate it looks as if the butterflies could land right on your finger. You can find it on Design Shop UK.

I know, I know everyone has gone green and for some it’s becoming a bit too much. But c’mon, you have to admit some of the products people are developing out of recycled material are pretty cool. And I for one, embrace the reuse/recycle lifestyle. I am not saying everything out there is for me [...]
Now this I love! Not available just yet but look for it within in the next year, the Chameleon Lamp from Phillips. When you hold something in front of the lamp it turns the color of that object using LED lights to project the color onto the shade. Super cool!

Hmmm…not really practical but certainly a conversation piece. I found this unusual item on Generate, the online store this morning. They call this See-Saw bookcase. I guess if you put books in it or on it these days, its considered a bookcase. I’ll be honest and say I’m not really into it. And the price [...]
Found this while stumbling online, a bunch of designers living in a house built a bar entirely out of books. Apparently, the books were going to be tossed and rather than see them go to waste, they designed a way to put them too good use. Check out their website for neat photos showing step [...]
I found this wine rack on Relish this morning while I was looking for new flatware. It’s a great space saver and it looks like a contemporary art piece! Check it out here.

I dont’ know about you but my Ipod and cell phone have taken more than a few tumbles off the window ledge, kitchen counter, chair etc… And when I am travelling it’s all I can do to guard my cell phone as it charges up in the nearest outlet at the airport. So when I saw this for sale at the [...]
Continuing with our green theme, I saw this on Ecoble the other day, a rug made out of recycled clothing. Even though this kind of looks like my bedroom floor at the end of the week, I still really dig the concept. It’s nice to see designers out there reusing materials to create new products. The rug appears [...]
I’ve been trying to do my part with regards to my recycling but lately it’s just been out of control. I have an old plastic milk crate next to my waste bin and I just chuck it all in at once and separate later. Because I am inherently lazy, I have noticed the recycling is reaching heights I am [...]
While I have no doubts the Wavy Chair by Unto This Last is quite comfortable, it looks like one of those chairs you wouldn’t exactly look attractive sitting in. You know the chairs I mean, the ones that usually put you in what I can ony describe as “the birthing positon”. But besides the fact I wouldn’t want [...]
Is it wall art or is it a chair? It’s both! Introducing the Pick Chair by Dror, the latest in versatile furniture. I have no where to store extra seating in my small apartment so it would be lovely to have five or six of these to use for parties. And when they are not in use simply [...]
I have no some skate cred but let’s be honest I am more of a hawkie than a skate rat. But I have a brother and nephew who are seriously skate or die so this next post is for them. If you had to consult the Urban Dictionary just to get through that last sentence, [...]
We all feel as if we have a gray cloud hanging over our heads some days. For me, that day is usually Monday and sometimes Tuesday, what I like to call Monday’s leftovers. But I digress. What happens when you leave a designer alone with a bag of polystyrene balls, a lot of glue [...]
Who didn’t want a hammock to sleep in when they were a kid? I know I did. The Beanok has made our childhood dream come true. Made of durable canvas, The Beanock is built to last. All you need is a nice strong stud and your good to go. I meant a wood stud, you [...]
