Ever since Katie posted this sink over in our ‘Remodel’ section, I’ve been having fantasies about the perfect bathroom.

I think this would fit in nicely.

Not only can you use these goldfish as a repository for notes or lists, you could also hang them in groups to be an interesting focal point on the wall of an office, hallway or kitchen.

Material: Magnetized blackboard surface on one side and adhesive on the other.

Approximately 13″ x 16″, varies by style.

I never quite thought that I would describe a cowhide rug as beautiful, but these shimmery highlights of gold really transform a rather normal hide into something special.

Available in White & Silver Metallic, Beige and Silver, or Beige and Gold Metallic.

apx. size is 6.5′ x 7.5′

This would definitely add a little quirky interest to a corner. I’m thinking I’d like to frame my old prom picture with the corner right between me and my date. What was his name again?

Recently I tried out imagekind, and I have to say the whole experience turned out rather well. They have all sorts of art you can choose from, with many different frames and mats, ‘canvas’ prints, or you can use your own pictures (I chose the story frame format). You’re able to preview different options immediately, which is a little addictive, and they ship it directly to your door. I can definitely say it beat the hell out of running to and from a regular framing shop. I love the internet.

(apologies for my poor compilation above)

With their reflective enamel coating, these lamps would be the jewels of a room setting.

“Capturing inspiration from nature’s funkiest shape, these porcelain mushroom lamps are lively and light. Their deep color and reflective surface comes from a baked enamel paint.”

Black Funghi Lamp, 14″ x 6″, $560.00
Blue Funghi Lamp, 15″ x 81/2″, $950.00

This item is no longer available from the original retailer.

So freaking cool. I would be hesitant to actually use any of the matches since it seems as more of a sculptural type of thing, but that’s just me.

“To use just break a match off the block and scratch it along the block to light.”

The SpaceStation is a USB hub station which allows for cord management for up to four devices when you have your laptop connected.

Great abstract black and white patterned rug…you can’t go wrong with this one.

Rug. 5’x8′, $299.00
Rug. 8’x10′, $599.00

A superb choice for your lighting needs, this pendant has presence with its orderly walnut veneer rings.

“The Meridian light is a simple expression of form and movement, like the paths of electrons around a nucleus, planets around the sun, or like the symmetry that the tropics, meridians and poles impose on the unruly shapes of the continents and countries of the globe.”

Walnut veneer bands with aluminum canopy
16″ in diameter, 19 Watt 5″ globe CFL bulb

A couple of doormats that evoke a charming, hand-drawn feel.

I know these aren’t new, but when I saw them again yesterday the table lamp struck me as rather beautiful.

“Made completely out of ceramic, it creates that traditional rustic look but with a definite modern edge.”

Materials: Ceramic, 25 watt incandescent bulbs

Table Lamp: 8″W x 18″L x 6″H, $279.00
Sconce: 16″W x 8″L x 22″H, $610.00

I think these would be perfect for the work environment or your own kitchen pantry (if you’ve got the room).

“TOP is extremely slender and sophisticated. any number of bins can be placed side-by-side and stabilized by connectors. whether standing on the floor or affixed to the wall – within little more than three feet of space, TOP separates over 100 liters of waste. the lids of the light gray plastic bins not only cover up and hold in place the bags, but also identify the contents with their respective color. also included are adhesive pictograms to further aid in waste separation. easily operated by one hand, the lid automatically opens with a slight lift.”

TOP is made of high quality abs and polypropylene and holds 25 liter trash bags.
measures 9.25″w x 23.8″h (31.3″h with open lid) x 11.2″d.

500 times larger than your earbuds, these desk top speakers mess around with your sense of scale. Clever.

“500XL includes a built-in amp and 3-way power – it runs on batteries or you can connect it to your computer’s USB port with the supplied cord.”
