I believe I posted some pillows that had Alexander’s handiwork displayed just like this, and now, here’s a nice little doormat with the same delightful numbers and letters. Something fun to wipe your feet on.

100% handwoven coir fiber. 24″x24″x1.5″

You early adopters out there will like the new Tivoli SIRIUS radio, the first satellite table radio designed exclusively for home use. Delivers digital quality sound in 65 commercial-free music channels*, and over 40 news, sports and entertainment channels.

The radio is housed in a cherry wood cabinet with taupe metallic faceplate.

*Subscription required. Activation fees applies

Look! They’re sticker decals! You can put ’em on your car windows or on your glassware/vases in some kind of pattern or wherever else you might feel like it. They’re dishwasher safe and they’re removable. Fun.

18, 1.5″ diameter heads

(that might be the least expensive item on here? maybe.)

This bed is pretty hot. We’ve seen our fair share of platform beds (haven’t you?) and this one is pure class. It’s modern with a bit of Asian flair, and if that’s not enough for you, you’ve got several different leather colors and few wood finishes to customize this bed to your specifications. I think if I saw this in somebody’s home, I’d think “do they own a hotel?”- cause it looks a lot more expensive than it is.

This is such a nice rug for such a nice price. And 8′ square! Not bad.

Plush wool/jute/cotton pile; cotton back.
Rug pad recommended.
Imported.

For you non-perpetual calendar types (sorry Katie) Vignelli offers this visual beauty for a wall near you. As the numbers are close together, there’s scarcely enough room to write, so I suggest getting a red wax pencil for you to inscribe cryptic circles and x’s on certain days. I leave the decision of which days to choose to you.

Ed. note: I honestly do love perpetual calendars though. Much more environmentally and economically responsible. Don’t buy this calendar. Find a nice little perpetual one.

While perusing Design Public’s site, I was pleased to run across this armoire. As you can see from the picture, it’s white with gray chalkboard doors, and has a lacquered white interior with orange shelves and drawer fronts. It’s quite simple yet impressive because of the nice orange insides and, of course, the ever-changing-up-to-you-art-on-the-doors. Those details count, you know. Mulitple shelves are included as well as an optional hang bar, and, if you’d rather go the hide-the-tv route, it’s got that nice feature of wire management so you can put your electronics inside.

Dimensions (inches): 47 W 50 H 20 D
Materials: 100 percent hardwood, non-VOC lacquered paint.
Made in the USA.

Masahiro Mori has created some amazing porcelain pieces and this collection of barware is no exception. The set includes 4 small sake glasses, 4 whisky tumblers and a pitcher and ice bucket.

$40 for the sake cups
$60 for the whiskey tumblers
$205 for the entire set–including pitcher and ice bucket

Look at these crazy chairs! It’s upholstered polyurethane with polyester filling. The cover can be made with your own material. That means you pick out fabric or leather from anywhere in the world and you give it to them. They’ll make the cover for you. Nice.

One of those why didn’t I think of that in the first place ideas. The lampshade and base are incorporated into one single piece of Murano blown glass, creating a lovely glow.

Large 19.7″h x 1.5″d, standard bulb up to 150w
Small 9.8″h x 5″d, standard bulb up to 60w
Imported from Italy

Why aren’t there more electronics like this? It’s a radio with two simple buttons for volume, two toggle buttons for on/off and am/fm and a rotary dial for the stations. Perfect for NPR or kickin’ out the jams at work.

Did I mention a state of the art amplifier and that it’s AC rechargeable?

This is hands down my favorite perpetual calendar. I’ve got a page featuring this calendar torn out from a 1998 Elle Decor (the UK edition) somewhere and I’ve been intending on finding a local source when I just stumbled upon it today. Thank you, Dumb Luck.

If you can’t tell from the photo, the black circle is a magnet which reveals the date when it’s placed in the right spot.

I just made a new friend over at Grass Roots Modern and he has some pretty cool stuff on his site. My favorite is this amazingly cheap and attractive sofa.

Add a little beauty to your utility. This 2006 weekly appointment book tells you the months and days in french, italian, german and english. a baladek cover in your choice of colors-orange, black, red , grey.

medium: 6.8″ x 9.2″
large: 8″ x 10.3″

These pillows are quite possibly the perfect thing to spruce up your home . You’re bound to find a pattern and color you like, because they’re available in all sorts of combinations- much more than the small sample that I’ve posted above (my favorite is the silhouette one). And, if you’re not so fond of the Thomas Paul designs, there’s gads more of other irresistable modernish pillows on 2modern’s site.
