Electric Guitar Lamp
Gonna tear it up with some wicked licks late into the night? Round out the house band with this stylish lamp, amped up with a real electric guitar. A bold black-and- white body spotlights the beautiful curves and fine-tuned details, while mod touches define the brushed-metal base and black paper shade. Uses one 100-watt bulb (not included). 62"H; 10' cord with UL listed-listed foot switch.

On The Quirky Side
Hello everyone! For those of you who may wonder where I've been, I apologize for the long silence. Life's been kind of crazy lately and my blogging has been paying the price. Well, I did want to post this unique and quirky loft in New York. Designed by Bohl Architects, it uses plenty of fun and off-beat details.
Ha, ha! This detail really cracks me up. I mean, if you want a random blue eye staring at you; why not have one, right?

As a designer, I've always found it frustrating that so many people will only live with things that others approve of! I can't say how many times I've heard the words, "I need to know if my sister likes it" or "My mother", "My neighbors"...etc. Why?! If its your home and your place to live and rest, why can't it just mean something to you? I look as a home as a sanctuary and as a place that feeds your inner self. So shouldn't it be a true representation of yourself? Ahhh, this has been my soapbox for many years. I hope at least a few people will stop and consider my words and take true ownership of their environment.
Don't know why I seem so bossy today.

Lucite and Glass Faucet
This is one of the prettiest faucets I have seen. It would be a thing of beauty in a Powder or Guest Bathroom. It is made from glass with lucite handles. When the faucet is opened, the water comes out from the bottom and fills the vase up to the rim. A limited edition to bring an air of poetry to the bathroom.

Kids Day
Everyone in the company came into work to find their computer monitors vandalized with crayon scribbles. To promote “Bring Your Kids To Work Day,” childlike art was hand-drawn on acetate sheets, which were trimmed to fit the screens. Building security secretly unlocked over 500 offices the night before so the acetate sheets could be affixed to everyone’s computer monitor.

Thom Felicia Furniture
You are probably familiar with Thom Felicia from "Queer Eyes for the Straight Guys". Do you remember that show? We kinda miss it from time to time. We don't know any straight guy who watched it though, only straight girls, hoping to fix up their men...
Anyway, Thom Felicia is getting to be a major licensing house. He's doing rugs for Safavieh, fabric for Kravet etc. The latest is a furniture collection from Vanguard Furniture. It's quite lovely and original.
Take a look:
You can see the rest of the collection here. If you need help with pricing, drop us a line.

Fabulous Graphic Wallpapers
We often wish we were more adventurous than we actually are. Our home is quite boring-- for people who are in the furnishings business. More often than not, it consists of returns, overstock and miscellaneous things that we can't sell in the store. It looks like a darn garage sale, actually.
Okay, so maybe we're exaggerating a little...
But we do play it a bit safe with just plain colors, solid and textures. This is why we live our fantasies via this blog. We just love showing you things that are whimsical and fun.
Like these wallpapers from F Schumacher, for example...
These wallpapers run about $180-200 per roll, not cheap right? But you can get it for less at our F Schumacher wallpapers section (usually 30-40% off the listed prices).
