The use of pixels in home decor and accessories has been a noticeable trend for a while now. Most of the items I’ve seen though have been super pricey, designer pieces. If you’d like to get in on this trend without spending a boatload of money, consider the Squared Silly Rug from Flor. This 3×5 rug is available in four different colorways and boasts a low price of $159.99. Buy multiples of this modular rug to cover larger areas. Made from nylon with 41% post industrial recycled content.

Squared Silly Rug by Flor: $159.99

A while ago we were looking for a new side table for our living room and I’m a little sad that this one didn’t exist yet. I love the sculptural shape and high gloss finish, and that persimmon color is fantastic! Made of recycled aluminum, this little number is light weight and even suitable for outdoor use. Definitely a fun and reasonably affordable option if you’re looking to liven up your space.

Here is a great reader question that I thought someone might have some good ideas about…

I am looking for a really large, modern poster or wall decal that looks like a subway map. Any ideas on where I could find it?

I mocked up a quick photo to show what I think Cameron is looking for. Does anyone know of a company that sells something similar?

Furniture from Urban Outfitters seems too good to be true. Take this “Mid Century Sofa” for example. Great simple classic style and priced at a mere $480. The downside? It seems like any reviews I’ve read in the past have been pretty unfavorable as to the quality of the furniture. Also, I’m always sketched out by the thought of buying furniture that is only available online.
Anyone have any feedback about this sofa, or furniture from Urban outfitters in general?

Mid Century Sofa available from Urban Outfitters for $480.

With winter well upon us it’s the season to curl up to a nice warm fire with with your warm drink of choice in hand. If you are lucky enough to have a functional fireplace you have been faced with the dilemma of where to store all that firewood. Here are some great idea from AK47 that would be fairly easy to build yourself (or have built if you not the handy type).
