I think we’ve posted something like this before, but it was a while ago so it probably deserves another highlight.

“This three dimensional sculpture plays with light and shape in a way that can make a room. Perfect for above a bed or sofa, or any blank wall that needs some pizzazz. Available in white or graphite. Powder coated steel.”

I recently saw this in person and it’s pretty spectacular.

“The James R. Moder Broadway Linear Crystal Chandelier is old-world, crystal magnificence in a contemporary setting. Crystals hang from both ends of multiple strands that can be wound around the central fixture. Truly, no two Broadway chandeliers are the same, as the strands can be positioned randomly, creating a unique layer of crystal on both sides of the Candelabra lamps.”

Options:- Crystal Grade: Imperial (shown), Regal, Spectra Swarovski, or Strass Swarovski.- Size: Large (features 52 strands of crystal), or Small (features 39 strands of crystal).

Large: Nine 60 Watt 120 Volt Candelabra Base Incandescent lamps (not included),
Small: Five 60 Watt 120 Volt Candelabra Base Incandescent lamps (not included).

Not a bad way to fill those minutes waiting for food, but if you’re over the age of 12 I’d suggest you check with any dinner companions before you pull out your chalk.

“Draw while waiting for your meal. Perfect for at home and restaurants. This single mat comes with 2 pieces of chalk and a sponge for easy cleaning. Washable.”

Also available in Blue, Yellow, and Green.

Hmm. This could be an interesting option if you’re fond of carpet tiles.

Look: Patterned tributes to the beloved Holstein. Dairy cow-sized spots in four colors on fields of white with subtle flecks. Touch: Plusher than a cowhide: a cut and loop combination gives it pleasant varied softness. Be Smart: Don’t run with the herd: spot markings on Stampede are irregularly placed and tiles are designed to be installed randomly for a hide-inspired abstract artwork for your floor. The Details: 19.7″ x 19.7″. 100% Nylon face fiber. Made in the USA. FLOR recommends installing tiles in either the same direction or a parquet style.

All tiles are 19.7″ x 19.7″
(For a 4’x6′ rug, it’d cost you about $176.00.)

Check out this modernish mobile…there are some fun colors to choose from as well (if your purpose is to enthrall children, might I suggest the ‘Fire Fire’):

“In Japanese, puka puka means ‘an object gently floating in space’. Every Puka puka mobile is an original, handcrafted piece, balancing the forms and colors to ensure each mobile is one of a kind.”

Available colors: Fire Fire, Leaf, Smokey, or Spectrum.

Table lamp made of rolled and powder-coated 1mm mild steel. Available in light blue, light grey and magenta.

Usually we try very hard not to post something until it’s actually available, but in this case it can’t be helped. I’ll try and update the post as soon as it’s up on a retailer’s site.

This would certainly be a handy thing to increase your kitchen/cooking efficiency.

“The Large Chop 2 Pot takes advantage of the latest technology in polypropylene living hinges to create probably the most efficient chopping board out there. Use the large board to chop and dice your ingredients, then simply squeeze the handle and voila; the board folds into a chute that guides the food easily and cleanly into a pot.”

These have a higher price tag than what I was expecting, but they are rather large, so it’s somewhat forgivable.

Combining the standard mirror with pegs and hooks is not a bad idea, though there’s the risk you’d lose the nice design features by covering it up all the time with coats and jackets.

“For dressing room, entryway or bedroom. This inventive standing mirror features wood construction, a tapered silhouette and pegs and hooks for exceptional functionality.”
