Olgoj Chorchoj‘s Princess vanity is absolutely perfect — for me. What’s not to love about a walnut dressing table with a vanity mirror (yes, it lights up) that tucks away discreetly when it’s not being use?

Buy the The Polaroid iPhone Decal at the Photojojo Store! It is somehow always cooler to make fancy schmancy modern possessions appear much less fancy schmancy and modern than they really are…case in point: iphone decal mimicking the front of a classic Polaroid camera.

January 3rd, 2011 · 1 Comment
This Christmas my parents surprised me with a Bodum Chambord Milk Frother. I had technically asked for a milk frother, pointing my mom in the direction of the Aerolatte version.

richard woods focuses on floor coverings.
December 10th, 2010 · No Comments

For his latest collection with Established & Sons, Woods extends his signature wood block prints to the floor and onto 100% hand-knotted New Zealand wool rugs. Perhaps he intends to do an entire [...]
