Here’s a fuzzy art piece that’s quite a different take on the traditional hunting trophy. Rachel Denny hand makes these trophies in her studio, so each will be unique in color and pattern. There’s also some angora rabbits she’s working on that are worth taking a look at.

Domestic Trophy (deer mount) series are between $500 and $600 depending on size and intricacy.

If you love cork, why not write in a corkskin journal? Now on sale, which makes it even more tempting…

This lamp is really kind of strange: it’s pretty modern, yet the bird (to me) doesn’t quite make sense. To make things even more confusing, I think I like it more because of that.

“Light and airy enough to fit into traditional, classic style, yet this clear lamp reminds us of Philippe Starck’s modern Louis Ghost Chair. We love how the clear glass not only reveals its own light but also reflects its luminous surroundings.”

6.5″dia x 20.5″h

Absolutely wonderful. I love how the imagery is against such a sparse background. You folks flush with enough cash to get something of this sort are very, very lucky.

‘Franziska Henning calls her carpets “Poetic Images” – images that “have been inspired by a wide variety of regions, periods and moods.” The designs of our first collection are partly based on German 19th-century silhouette cutouts and traditional Japanese woodcuts…Our rugs are knotted from fine Himalaya wool and chinese silk following ancient Tibetan handicraft traditions. We want to create rugs that belong to people, beautiful rugs in the very best quality, which will keep creating a special atmosphere a whole life long, and whose beauty and character only grow stronger with the passing years.’

I love this rug by Mr. Barford. Think of the possibilities: you could test guests on what country is where or you could use it to dream of future travels (or just your personal pursuit of domination) worldwide.

“Have the world at your feet with this beautiful rug. 100% wool rug, hand-tufted in India.

Available in warm grey with cream or cream with red.”

Size: L 245cm x W 150cm

Yes, these could probably be found in a college dorm room, but I kind of like them anyways.

“Rock yourself to sleep with matching guitar-and-amp cases, each designed with tour T-shirt-style screenprinted graphics. Standard size covers are 210 thread count; 73% cotton/27% nylon. Machine wash.”

“A lovely piece designed for reading comfort! Can also be used to hold sheet music or as a standing display case for your favorite book, photograph or work of art.”

Made in Germany in workshops staffed by the physically and mentally handicapped.

Again, the perfect fusion of nature and modern thinking, the Galiano Slim Pendant light is made from reclaimed Douglas Fir and a found twig.

3.75″ x 3.75″ x 12″ (plus branch, which varies)

13W CFL light bulb(= to 60W incandescent)

These dollar bills say “NEW YORK IS A LOT OF WORK” in gold-foil.

Perfect for anyone who’s paid his/her dues in NYC.

This clever unit both hides a mess of wires and also conceals a power strip.

I’m digging these 20″ square pillows by Upper Playground.

“Be proactive (and comfortable) and take art from the gallery into your home. Upper Playground’s Fifty24SF pillow series brings pop culture and urban flavor into your space with designs by premier street culture artists, such as Sam Flores, Jeremy Fish and David Choe..”

I love these. There’s the magical feel, of course, but also they look so delicate as to be a rather special find. Click on the ‘buy it here’ link in order to see them in action.

This feather like paper pendant and sconce look like they would add a good amount of soft light. I think it would look stellar to do three pendants in row above a dining table.

“Filo paper and a brushed nickel shade. This wispy lighting piece is more like illuminated art and will give any room a new approach to lighting.”

16″h x 7″w pendant.
Includes 50 watt MR16 halogen bulb.

Skulls have kind of fallen off the design radar (thankfully) which means you die-hard goth fans can now distinguish yourselves once again.
