You can take any .jpg and make into a custom tile mosaic. Oh, just think of the possibilities... I'd recommend putting some thought into it as you'll be spending around $149 per square foot, but man-oh-man, there's a ton of great images you could use for a bathroom wall (or anywhere else tile is appropriate). Any digital image will work, so if you've got a favorite snapshot or piece of...Read more

Yeah, yeah, you've seen the Enchord Desk before, but did you really take note of the Mobile Cabinet? Priced at $429, it's definitely more expensive than a run-of-the-mill filing cabinet, but it looks a heck of a lot sleeker than those boring (if not awful) cabinets. A recessed tray on the top means small thingamajigs will stay in reach and there's a handy cutout for cords and cables. More supplies...Read more

We've featured Christopher Jagmin's Even and Odd Dinner Plates, but these silhouette pieces are worth a look as well. The platter would look just at home on a wall as on your table, and the small plates would be a nice size for salads or sandwiches. Designs are produced in the United States in limited quantities. Platter, 12.5” porcelain, $102.00 Little Silhouette Plates, $108.00...Read more

Some might perceive as this stool as a borderline objet d'art, yet the vertical branch is actually quite useful as a hat or coat rack, or even for back support. In a more commercial or museum setting, several stools grouped together appear as a " field of stylized grass"... sounds nice. Made of natural beech wood. Note: Available for a limited time only....Read more

Storage containers are probably one of the lesser exciting things to shop for, especially when you consider all the other accessories and gadgets it takes to make a house a home. These containers would fit well within the kitchen, office or bathroom, corralling all manner of small things in a tidy silhouette of wood and glass. An optional rubber lip can be slipped on to create airtight storage. Small ($20)...Read more

Usually cords are unappealing and annoying necessities, but in the case of the Lloop Basic by Vij5, the cord is a functional decoration. Two wooden pieces allow you to extend or shorten loops of the electrical cable to get the height (and look) you want. Aluminium lampshade, two wooden pieces, transparent plastic pull relief and 6 meters of textile electricity cable...Read more

Kathy Dalwood is a British artist and designer whose work focuses on small and large sculptures, public installations, and interior design services. I had a chance to get to know Kathy in London after purchasing one of her concrete figurines and we had many lovely conversations about art and design. Kathy was, of course, one of the first people on our list for our burgeoning Creative Types series. She was...Read more

Oh, beanbags. Just when you think you're sick of them, this outdoor version makes you think twice. Nylon web strapping on the sides means you can tie chairs together for a loveseat or sofa, or even a chaise if you add the ottoman. Now, the red isn't for everyone, of course, but it is relatively inexpensive, and for (modern-ish) outdoor seating options that's few and far between. Cover: heavy-gauge, water-resistant...Read more

Brilliant reflective biker socks and gloves by the ever delightful SUCK UK... if you're a cyclist, you should be wearing safety gear (helmet, vest, lights), of course, and these socks and gloves are meant as a complement to that safety gear, not a replacement. I only found one retailer stateside (igadgetshop on eBay, $29.00) but if anyone knows of others, let me know and I'll add them in. Reflective Biker...Read more

Each of these eight bookspines can act as a bookmark; the set is perforated so you can pull them apart as needed. Talk about a great add-on gift for the readers in your world. Also, you must check out these money clips, and when I say must, I mean it: Bacon, Cheddar, and Bones. —Perforated light paper stock —Imported —1" x 6.5"...Read more

Heavy metal lighting: hmm, what do we think? Made from recycled wine barrel hoops, this chandelier has a handmade feel with just enough edge to keep it from looking too hokey. I agree with the designers in that it would look just at home in a rustic room as a modern setting; it could possibly be one of those pieces that make a room look perfectly 'unperfect' (i.e. lived in/eclectic)....Read more

This apartment in Barcelona by Barbara Appolloni is crazy small; it's impressive, of course, and well thought out, but I'm telling you, it's tiiiiny. Video below. Via materialicious. See more at HomeDSGN or at Barbara Appolloni....Read more

A bright patterned rug is one way to spice up a boring room, and this red diamond rug hits the right spots with a low price point. Approximately 4' x 6', Cotton. Also, if you like yellow (and zigzags), check out the Golden Peaks Rug ($598)....Read more
