The Jerry Lamp could very well be the ideal lamp for a kids room. It’s made of nontoxic hypoallergenic silicone that is unbreakable and never gets hot to the touch. That means it can stand up to the abuse of a toddler, and get knocked off a table without causing any tears. The Jerry [...]

Here is a great little retro boomerang table from Etsy. Made of Beechwood veneered plywood, the table top is 1 1/2″ thick and has a black polyethylene molding around the edges. It is also available in white with classic hairpin legs. Each table is made in a small shop in Austin Texas, flat [...]

I was perusing Overstock for some good modern outdoor furniture and I came across two decent pieces. Both are made of ABS plastic and available in a variety of colors. The Prism table is very contemporary and is almost a little far out there for me. Depending on the space however, it [...]

Kohler has some great looking new products out. I am particularly smitten with some of their new sinks. The 8 degree sinks (above left) are some nice looking undermount stainless steel sinks with a more angular design. Very clean looking, and shockingly expensive at around $1,600!

Roscoe Jackson may be a new kid on the block, but they have some of the best looking sustainable furniture I have seen in a long time. The new Possum furniture collection is made of 100% HDPE (from milk jugs and such) and stainless steel fasteners. This results in a chair that is [...]

Water is something that we can’t live without. I have always been surprised that an entire market has been created around selling something that is almost free. For those water snobs only a bottled water like Voss will do, but then there is the rest of us. Plastic water bottles have gotten [...]

I fully realize that the term “affordable” means different things to different people. I have always wanted to build a modern home in Salt Lake. We got a taste of it with our last addition and we vow that we will build again one day. The hard part is finding a lot [...]

Fans of Blu Dot rejoice! Their new 2008 line is now available for preorder over at Design Public. They have some great new sofa’s like the One Night Stand sofa shown above, which converts into a queen sized bed. The new Blu Dot Paramount Sofa is one of my favorites. It has some obvious mid [...]

I love wooden toys and puzzles. They are generally either very simple, and in many cases very ingenious. The 3d wooden sphere puzzle falls into the later category. The puzzle has three separate planes connecting four chambers filled with colored wooden balls. It works much like a rubiks cube, in that if you make [...]
