The pope is coming to New York this week (my friend Fitz wrote a funny post on his blog Toilet Scribble about his fetish for the pope’s hats) and for the faithful it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see, well, the Holy See. For the rest of us heathens it’s a [...]
I like to read a design blog by a fun creative Los Angeles couple, Lars and Kat called Katize. As I was perusing the site last night, I saw this table posted by Lars (who also hosts a sweet house show on XM radio) and I had to share it with you. I reside in New York City [...]
To promote the opening of a new IKEA in Kobe, Japan the Scandinavian SuperStore decorated an entire subway car inside and out. Crazy! I only wish they would come to New York and redo some of our trains. Check out more photos after the jump…

If you could see the mountains of shoes I have stacked by my door you would understand how badly I need this genius invention. Generate (man I love this store) sells a floating shoe rack by designer Jaime & Mark. Easy to install, it comes in 2 sizes and can hold either 3 or 6 [...]

This is the Elastic bookshelf by Arianna Vivenzio. I couldn’t find too much information about this so I don’t know if this is just a concept or if it’s available for purchase but it’s a very interesting idea. As you can see it is a large rubber band wrapped around two supports, whatever you place between the [...]
Brilliant! The person that designed this is a frick’n genius. This weekend I lost my keys no fewer than 4 times. And don’t even ask me where my sunglasses are at, I haven’t seen them in three weeks. So I would definitely love to get my hands on this coat hook Cubby by materious. Their name [...]
These cute little salt and pepper shakers from designer Yaroslav Rassadin have a sweet innocence about them. But I got to thinking, why is the salt the angel? Let’s be honest here, if anyone deserves an evil moniker it’s salt, am I right? I mean, pepper has never caused high blood pressure. Pepper provides a spicy little kick to [...]
Back in the day, wallpaper was quite common in a home. It was considered tasteful, stylish and you would be hard pressed to find a home without at least a wall or two covered. But some time in the late 1980’s and 90’s wallpaper started getting a bad rap. People complained the styles were outdated and tacky. And with [...]
To start, your going to need wallpaper; there are several types: standard, vinyl and flocked or textured. Standard is not very durable and probably shouldn’t be used in high traffic areas where it can be easilydamaged by wear and tear. It can also be difficult work with since it is delicate and requires extra care and patience when hanging. The plus side of [...]
Remember Weeble-Wobbles, you know Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down? Remember?? Well if not click here to see what I am referring too but basically Weeble Wobbles were egg shaped people who teetered back and forth but never fell down and the same concept can be applied to this chair. I think it looks like a lot of [...]
