Decorate with Diamonds!

Filed under: Decor


First off let me say that decorating your home with large, artificial gems is a delicate task that is really hard to pull off. That being said, though, used sparingly and in the right ways artificial diamonds can be a great way to satisfy (somewhat) your craving for sparkly gemstones and add a touch of glamor to your decor. Chiasso offers diamond sculptures in a couple different ways, miniature ones (above) and a large paperweight version if you're really looking to make a statement.

Nuance Tablecloth Clips

Filed under: Decor, Dining

Few things say 'summer' more than a picnic outside with goodies like fresh watermelon and grilled sweet corn, but few things can ruin that fun faster than a gust of wind blowing the tablecloth up, over, and off -- taking with it any unfortunately placed beverages and paper plates. But you can avoid that whole nasty scenario with these very simple but really pretty looking tablecloth clips from Nuance. Made of stainless steel they'll fit right in with all kinds of decor and tablecloth patterns, and keep your fun summer meal from turning into a disaster story. Set of 4 clips for $98.

Endless Wave Table

Filed under: Decor, Yachts & Sailing


Being the peak of summer it's also the peak of surfing season in most places, and for those who love the sport and just can't seem to get enough the answer might be to bring a surfboard into the house with you in the form of a coffee table. The "Endless Wave" is a table made of a real surfboard perched on top of a wave-shaped pedestal. It does, perhaps a little surprisingly, come across looking very classy and stylish. There are several color options available (or they can custom color one for you) and two different styles to choose from -- the Malibu and the Waikiki. $1800

Meteor Table by Christa

Filed under: Decor, Art, Green

Bring the woodsy outdoors charm into your home with this limited edition unique find. It's called the Meteor Table, it's made by Christa and it's an actual teak tree root that's been coated with bronze. Definitely a conversation starter in any home! I guess you can't rush such a ginormous and heavy package (750 pounds) via mail so it takes 6 months to arrive. Tree tables don't come cheap, this purchase will set you back $55,000! Of course I'm trying to figure out how I can start making these things! It's available on vivre.com, a very cool decor site.

This Table Will Self-Destruct...

Filed under: Decor, Green


Talk about a limited edition: if you don't get in on this table in time there will literally be nothing left. It's called This Table Will Self-Destruct and each time the table is made a "pixel" is removed. The table top is basically a big grid that's slowly getting holes in it, with the "limited edition" meaning they'll keep making them until it's no longer usable.

So far the table is missing 25 pixels, and there's a grid on the website so you can see exactly where they've been removed. If you want one don't wait too long! $980

Shadow Placemats

Filed under: Decor

These Shadow Placemats from Judith Höfel remind me of that blue paper they used to have when I was a kid that made patterns and designs when different objects were used to cast a shadow in the sun (does anybody know what I mean?). Anyway, the shadows on that paper was interesting and these placemats, represent what the shadow of a place setting would look like on the table, are also. They're even made to be a little transparent so the grain of the table can show through and add the whole illusion. Definitely a more casual look for your kitchen or dining room, but interesting nonetheless. $85

Dinner Bells

Filed under: Dining


I've personally always loved the idea that years ago on the farm the ringing of the dinner bell is what would call in the kids from the yard to eat, and whether these days you have a big group to summon together or just like the nostalgic decor value of a nice bell, this set of copper dinner bells will make a sweet addition to your kitchen. The set includes 3 brass bells in 3 shapes and 3 colors: and copper-finished onion bell, a silver-finished tulip bell, and a gold-finished trumpet bell. $325

Foam Bowl

Filed under: Decor, Dining


A bowl that looks like a big white sponge -- everybody wants one! Designed by Marcel Wanders and made by Moooi, the idea for the Foam Bowl started as an experiment and turned into something beautiful. Created by soaking a sponge in liquid porcelain, letting it dry, and then firing it hot enough to burn the sponge away, the result is a sponge "skeleton," or a bowl that looks like it's made of foam. Pure white and porous, you'll want to be careful how much you handle it and what (if anything) you put in it. 2.25" x 8.25", $220.

Life of the Snowman

Filed under: Decor


This very simple, very classic looking Life of the Snowman sugar dish could make either the perfect addition to your holiday table or the perfect gift for that friend who loves to cook or hostess but already seems to have everything she needs. Cute and simple, the only complaint I can possible come up with (not that I spend time trying to complain) is that the smooth clear glass design will quickly show every fingerprint and smudge! But what's a few smudges compared to all the adoring compliments? $53

Saarinen Dining Table

Filed under: Decor


Designer Eero Saarinen believed there were too many "legs" on things in the average American home, and awhile back (in 1956) he created a collection to help remedy that situation. Out of that effort came the Saarinen Dining Table, which as you can see has but one pedestal for support. It goes well with it's Tulip chair relatives, and altogether they project a very simplistic, pure energy.

The Saarinen tables are available in a variety of colors and sizes, the dining table shown here goes for $1,342.

Infinity +1 Table

Filed under: Decor, Green


Designed as functional sculpture, Jason Heap has created a stunning table that is hard to take your eyes from. The ribbon-like base is formed from a birch plywood core layered with American Black Walnut veneer. Along the edges of the wood, acrylic paint in your choice of color is added making it custom for your color scheme. The black looks sharp, but a brighter contrast would make the gentle overlapping curves even more hypnotizing. The wood used for this custom-made table comes from sustainable sources and is available in a light or dark veneer. £1,900.00.

Prismatic Table

Filed under: Decor

Here's a piece of furniture for those who love geometric shapes and clean lines. The Prismatic Table's design is inspired by the art of origami, although instead of folding paper it's made by folding aluminum. It has three legs, a hexagon-shaped top, and the appearance of being in three pieces. It was originally created back in 1957 by Isamu Noguchi and has just recently been put into production. It is available from Vitra in either black or white, and goes for around £239.

Gregory Pouf Stool

Filed under: Decor




The Gregory Pouf Stool is a transformer: at one moment it looks like a simple rug and then the next, at the pull of a button, it transforms into a stylish contemporary stool or table. By Gregory Lacoua, the movement was inspired by the thought of a needle pulling thread through a cloth under tension. It's upholstered in hardwearing wool, which gives it a a nice softness, and although it's suggested for a kid's room I don't think it looks childish necessarily -- I think it would look great in any room, depending on the rest of the decor.

The Aquapub

Filed under: Decor, Gadgets


Although here in the Midwest pool season is almost over, there are those lucky to be living in areas where they may just be getting started with the warm season or else it's toasty all year round. For those folks (or those of us in colder climates can put it on our wish list for next year) this Aquapub not only looks like bunches of fun, but it looks like unique fun your neighbors probably aren't offering. It's one thing to enjoy a Mai Tai by the pool, but what about in it? That can be a little awkward unless you have the Aquapub that seats six and comes complete with cup holders, 2 stashes, and an umbrella. It drains water, is a portable 90 lbs and is made of recycled materials. What more could you want?
