If you are into bold domestic expression, Beep Art might have something for you.
This was the image that brought me to their site (I am a sucker for mid century atomic design, though I’m NOT generally “bold” in a brightly colored wall sort of way):
These are some of the more eye catching, unique wall details out there, for sure.
They also make great retro inspired laptop/ipad/etc. skins.
Thanks to Ulrike for showing me this lovely lamp.
This one-of-a-kind table lamp is expertly crafted from a perfect amalgamation of modern electrical components and upcycled vintage and antique materials. It is comprised almost entirely of brass, steel, copper, glass and iron (it’s very heavy). Flip the switch for the eerie plasma light effect, and then push the left shift key to turn on the incandescent lights.
The proliferation of steampunk modifications out there has made me pretty picky…but I think this one is a very worthy effort.
Are you ready for Anthropologie’s Deconstructed Sofa? Yep…this is actually a thing.
Apparently, a bunch of old pillows tied to a sofa frame left on a curb can be marketed as postmodern and sold for $4,298.
Thanks, Liz!

Witch City Wicks has a lovely selection of wintery candles, perfect for the holidays.
The scent mixtures are unique and enticing…
And the presentation is beautiful.
I love their “black” collection, of course.
I must have a hundred candles at home…and I still want a few of these from Witch City Wicks!

Unlike other opaque decals I’ve seen in the past, these Bat Decals are a bit more photorealistic.
They remind me of antique illustrations. Very cool.
Here are my three favorite offerings from Yankee Candle’s Halloween Selection this year (I was less impressed with the Boney Bunch new editions than previous years, actually)
Nice…
Nicer…
And finally…
I would absolutely display this all year. I wish I had a collection of them.

The Mad Platters absolutely count as “fine china” in my opinion. Sea creatures CAN look like china patterns, after all. This one is my all time favorite:

Periodic TableWare is a fantastic new kickstarter that brings a little science to the table (literally).
Geek homes everywhere need these! Starting with this geeky blogger.
A mere six words nicely summarize my feelings about this project.
I’ve posted about handmade retro aprons and movie monster aprons before. Now here’s one for you sexy comic geeks.
I’ve got the long blonde hair…I think I could pull off a convincing Ms. Quinn at the stove. However, I personally would be be hesitant to cook in something handmade and pricey.
If you’re not into comics, you could opt for the mildly unsettling Pee Wee Herman style:
What the Balance Bookshelf lacks in practicality, it makes up for in concept.
I recently went through a period of years in which I read no fiction whatsoever. I had decided to change my entire path from working in the publishing industry to going for a PhD in psychophysiology and making a new life in the realm of mind-body medicine (my true passion). I positively binged on medical and theoretical texts…and loved every second. Only this year, after being rendered an immobile lump of useless human parts by intractable pain, did I re-embrace my first true love: literature.
