Who doesn’t love tetris? It was the original time waster at work and now you can use your block stacking skills in your decorating. The tetrad shelving from Brooklyn design firm Brave Space Design lets you stack the pieces of the bookcase in any manner you want, and the pieces are the exact same designs […]

Umbra offers a collection of various kinds of shelves that “hide” when filled with towels, books, etc. A good alternative for those who just can’t decide on a style or finish, or those who just like to impress their friends with their magical levitating books.

I’m starting to see these totes more and more in Charlottesville, and in all different contexts, making me think that everyone should get one (although I havent seen them in cool prints like these available from Sur La Table).

As I’ve mentioned before, I love to use found objects in decorating and for other uses outside of the box. I think we all remember using a card catalog at some point in our lives, and as technology has taken over, the card catalog has been banished to antique stores (They aren’t really antiques are […]

In the past media storage (aka the place you stash your cds and dvds) has been sterile and plain, or just well, tacky, and often has clashed with a thoughtfully decorated room. Many people opt for built in bookcases or large home entertainment centers with storage space but I like this solution, offered by spacify.com. […]

I often find myself in that ever precarious south park situation where the Underpants Nome’s come in the the middle of the night and steal my slippers.
