I really want a Sub Zero refrigerator but I don't want to pay $6000 when I can get one with similar dimensions and appearance for a lot less. Here's my plan: I'm going to get a Maytag or other rectilinear refrigerator for less than $1200 and then to give the refrigerator a built-in look, I'm going to have a vent custom made in stainless steel to dimensions that will equal...Read more

This book has a kind of wry humor; it's packed with all sorts of graphics and comics that show just how bad our world could get, and you find yourself chuckling along until you realize that some of the events aren't all that far-fetched, and in fact, some are actually happening. It's a little disconcerting to have disasters drawn in a friendly sort of way, yet I suppose that gives...Read more

Adjust the length by attaching as many Wave Hangers to each other as...Read more

Like a slinky, except it's made from cardboard and can be a vase, so it's better (maybe). Equal parts vase and plaything, this amazing contraption contorts into myriad shapes.

A novel idea, coasters made from newspapers, which means you can recycle them after you've used them...not a bad idea. They are made out of unused newspapers, so each set comes with 100 coasters with a very traditional pattern but rather than being made from your traditional paper, this is made from unused newspapers, each coaster different from the previous. $16.00, Buy it here....Read more

This chair subtly evokes a Halloween feeling for me, probably mainly due to the web-like base. In his design for the Magnolia, Jacco Bregonje combines the best of two worlds: design and architecture. The organic shell seat is fully foam-filled and provides fantastic comfort. The metal base echoes the mathematic construction of the organic shape of the seat. The Magnolia is a beautiful piece of furniture whatever way you look...Read more
