This home has a very Farnsworth House/Mies Van Der Rohe sort of feel to it, with the exterior walls all being glass and with a central core. One difference however, is that in the Farnsworth house, the bathrooms are in the central core, and this fabulous bathroom is out there for everyone to see. [posted by kris]...Read more

Not sure if you've heard of fotoflōt yet, but I recently received a sample (fall tree scene above) and am pretty pleased with the quality and appearance. I'm planning on switching it out to a personal photo once I decide on which one, but I thought I'd share with you in the meantime how it looks on a wall. It's nice that no glass or frame is needed, giving more...Read more

A steal of a deal- for $124 you can own a comfortable folding armchair. Not bad. Designed in 1952 by award-winning Slovenian designer Niko Kralj, the Rex appeals to the trained-and untrained-eye with its simple solid birch wood construction and fluid folding mechanism. Despite its storage capability, the design's wide, comfortable seat and backrest, and sloping armrests invite frequent use in a lounge or office. When folded, the armchair measures...Read more

I bet many of you can identify with Mr. Seifer and his feelings on dishwashing. I need patience and fortitude to do my dishes. Here in New York City I don’t have a dishwasher and my sink is really small. Sponges arrive flat and expand in water. This is very entertaining to watch. Great for parties. You will receive two identical sponges. They read “patience” on one side and “fortitude”...Read more

Hmm. Does anyone else find the android-like form in these photos unsettling? Coupled with the 'Love me' and the fingerprint, it brings to mind AI or something equally disturbing. By the designer of the Full Moon Credenza, these striking mirrors are printed with ELI (Eco Light Inside), an eco-friendly, photo luminescent material developed by the designer, which creates a glowing effect when the lights go out. Available in two versions,...Read more

The Jericho Mirror is a little creepy, and maybe that's what makes it weird and interesting. The vases are simply lovely. (They're from the same retailer, so that's why they're pictured together, plus my bookmarks folder is busting at the seams.) Natural Vases, $75.00, Buy it here. Our Natural Vases utilize the unique shape and grain of monkey pod wood to produce a stunning effect. Their crooked silhouette is an...Read more

This retail site is actually pretty neat; you're able to pick a frame and then customize it to your specifications. You can pick what size, legs, fabric, and filling you want, which means you decide how much you spend. Prices listed below are the starting price, so just for example, if you pick the Mota 84" (shown in cream above), once you add Polyurethane Foam for the filling (+$246), Polyester...Read more

Oh, man, I hate it when there's a price range and you get fooled into thinking the piece you're seeing is actually the price at the low end of the spectrum. In this case, the ottoman is $1,485.00 and the sofa is $4,900.00. (I should have known it was too good to be true.) Designed by Cini Boeri in 1972, this inviting sofa features removable quilted covers available in a...Read more

Hello, little tables. I love your black and silver finishes. Just the touch of texture: a pair of distinct notches in the base of this round contemporary side table add loads of visual interest to any room in which you place it. If that place just happens to be a wall in a contrasting color, you'll be delighted at the way it silhouettes against the negative space like your own...Read more
