Generally speaking I have a hard time getting excited about something like a soap dispenser, but I'm going to make an exception in this case. The Birillo liquid soap dispenser from Alessi is quite the looker. Available in PMMA, white or mirror polished stainless steel.
Paula Lopez-Otero is having a closeout sell on her gorgeous jumbo sized ceramic cups. Price is $20 each and she currently has Buttercup, Beige, Pistachio, and Coral. Better scoop one up before they are all gone.
David Lemm is a UK-based illustrator... he also holds the key to my bold, graphic style-loving heart.
I've mentioned before that I love to cook, mostly because I love to eat. That has caused me to have a keen interest in all things kitchen related, especially those that make cooking easier. Being a fan of a sharp knife, I'm always on the lookout for a good knife sharpener. While I have found some good ones, I don't know that I have ever seen one as good looking as this modern Chantry Knife Sharpener. In Love.
I don't know if these lamp shades by Debbie Powell are for sale, but my-oh-my are they gorgeous! They could certainly inspire a DIY lamp shade makeover, don't you think? Check out more of her work here.
Furni is one of my old favorites that consistently makes good looking quality products, and never seems to get the recognition that they deserve. I was delighted to see over the weekend that they are on Fab.com. Once again inspired, I checked out their website for the first time in a year or two, and I happy to find that they still have great stuff. The new and improved ALBA clock for example is not only fantastic looking and well detailed (see below) but it has some great features too. iPod/iPhone integration with a custom app available with purchase, 10 stage dimmable display, metal grill etc. Available in white, black, barn wood, walnut, concrete and all sorts of other amazing materials/finishes.
I love these upcycled material tea light holders from London-based designer James Tattersall. With the right skills, I have the feeling they'd make a pretty easy DIY project, too!
I love these prints by Rob Bailey, especially this first one entitled "YOU". I'm pretty much a sucker for any overlapping translucent style prints. Some of his latest work is available on his site for a very reasonable price.

I love cooking. Mostly because I love eating. Thus it follows that I love holiday's, because at my house that always means good cooking. So I thought it applicable leading up to this holiday weekend that I share these great Kitchen Art Prints by TexturedINK. Three 11" x 14" prints for $38.
PS There are lot's of other great prints at TexturedINK worth checking out too. Which is your favorite?
Frankly, I've never used a charger plate in my entire life, but that doesn't mean these awesome painted birch chargers from Wolfum won't make me start! Are you with me??
I sort of have a thing for interesting looking humidifiers, mostly because for so long it was next to impossible to find one. This unique take on the boring old humidifier comes from Minwoo Lee. It's not hard to imagine where the Alianoid Humidifier gets its name from. It looks more like something from the movie WALL-E than it does a humidifier. So far it doesn't appear that it is in production, but we can always hope.
I love shou sugi ban, and have even thought about using it for my next house. Maybe getting a iPhone case of faux shou sugi ban will be a good way to ease into it.

Turns out, dual/flip/reversible sectionals are all the rage (remember this Gus-inspired one from CB2?), and I'm totally okay with that. I mean, why would you want to invest in a quality, modern sectional only to have it not work in a future space?? That would be sad. What's not sad is G. Romano brand's newest piece, the Porter Flip Sectional. It looks super comfy yet clean and tailored--and--it's available in 11 fabric options! It's all kinds of 'win'. Moral of the story: fixed position sectionals are lame; flip sectionals are smart. Get one.
I've mentioned before my mild obsession with tables that feature interesting legs. The Hexag table uses a simple yet ingenious system of a powder coated metal leg that clips onto an American Walnut veneered top. The result is fantastic, and surprisingly affordable.
I'm absolutely shocked that another year has quietly slipped by me. WIth 2012 looming over me, that can only mean one thing. I need a new calendar. Being a fan of calendars that think outside the box, I have to say I'm quit fond of MAKE Collaborations new calendar, Vertical. According to MAKE, they "kept the idea of the Vertical simple and functional with an added hint of sex panther. By choosing a vertical timeline, as opposed to the traditional serpentine approach, it kept our calendar easy to read, and downright fun to look at."
Check out the photo's for some nice thoughtful details. (hello magnetic thumb tack!)
You know how irresistible this cutlery from Core Bamboo is to me, right?? As a lover of all things bright and colorful, it pretty much knocks not one but both of my sock off. Available in 11 colors, each set is made from 100% organically grown bamboo.
Maybe if I had a laundry bag that looked as good as this one, I would do laundry more often. Maybe.
This laundry basket is made of linen canvas, after sizing process handle. The linen canvas fabric is more pretty and strong. You can used for clothes, socks, towels, shoes and other things as toys ... The Box family have laundry basket, sorting box, hanging bag and organizer bag.
It's a speaker! Shaped like a skull! What do you guys think: yay or nay?
Leather cases with contrast stitch detailing? Yummy! Whether you've got a tablet, a laptop, or a smartphone, CB2's got you covered. Extra random bonus: each of these cases comes with an exterior business card slot.
