Bose iPod Portable Docking Station

Finally, and damn it! I own the docking station from three years ago, when they first introduced it. I LOVE it, and so do all my friends, including my DJ friends. Impressive sound from a single speaker unit that is pretty minimal in design.
What I'm not happy about is mine does not come cordless. What I'm psyched about is the new model has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and a handle (important). So one can now tote this to the beach if needed, which I needed and will need.
I think I have to swallow paying for the old model and upgrade to the new. I don't think I have a choice, do I?

Modular Light Screen
Smart Funny Useful
Updated Feb 26, 2008
Oh, too many great lighting options, too little money. These light panels can be connected, up to five panels at a time. It'll cost you $7,000 though, which is not bad considering the amount of territory this covers. I would love to have a single panel for a space I created during the remodel, but it's 9" thick, which does not work with the fixture I have in mind. I need a 4" thick light wall (which I'm creating myself with fabric panels and led string lights... when I get to it, that is.).
I'm sure I'll find a reason to get this one day.

Great. Another thing to spend the last of my savings on. The great uses I can make of this for my remodel! Pontential ideas range from night light panels to lit glass counter tops. Too bad it's not solar operated. That would make it a must have for me. Without seeing how the inverter electrical unit works, it's hard for me to commit. I'm not a fan of wiring running all over my walls or floors. Unless it's on purpose, of course.
This flat panel light uses LEC technology to create a paper thin lighting device that is flexible and extremely light weight. . Sized as large as 3' x 6', a tad smaller than my front door ($1,650) (ouch). Smallest is 8.5" x 14" for $25. They need to create a connector cable, so one can create a grid without 12 outlets needed. Don't you think?

Reclaimed Lumber Benches
Smart Funny Useful
Updated Feb 5, 2008
I've been wanting a bench like this for as long as I can remember. I've always loved this style, but I've never had a place big enough. Funny how it turns out they're the perfect design style for creating sustainable furniture.
In order to achieve the best sustainable outcome for these gorgeous benches, BWC created each bench 20ft in length, keeping the material mostly in its found state (long huge planks of reclaimed wood).
I always feel inspired when I witness a natural cycle of 'need' becoming 'desire.'

Inglas Laminated Glass
Smart Funny Useful
Updated Dec 1, 2007
The one item that is holding up finishing my kitchen remodel is the counter. With delicate and expensive custom cabinets already in place, it was extremely important for me to find the 'right' match.
The most current decision was to go with micro tiles (a pain, by the way). However, if Inglas glass were readily available, I would have pursued this option. They make gorgeous laminated glass mixed with different objects and materials to create decorative surfaces that can be applied indoors or outdoors for furniture, counters, walls, railings, windows, more.
In order to save myself from another six-month delay, I did not research further how to buy this glass. For sure, my project manager (aka boyfriend) would have a heart attack. We're not talking about the bankrupt-me-budget either. Let's put it this way, it took him 3 months to get me to agree to a tile color. (via Core77)

Winston Bamboo Fly Fishing Rod

Updated Aug 24, 2006
I own a Winston rod, but not a bamboo rod. Bamboo rods are not easy to handle, but how beautiful this rod is makes me want to cry. Seriously. Takes two years to make one rod. I guess I should add this to my wish list. At $3000 a piece, I think it'll be a while before I get one.

LG tromm steam washer

Update: I bought this thing. It took me forever to decide, but I finally went with the LG. I am in love with my washing machine. I not kid you. This thing is hot!
Double load, front load, energy efficient, steam clean option which reduces dry cleaning dramatically, heavy load option, sanitary option, low to high spin option, and check this out, super hot water option (it heats your heated water!).
______
Rated highest in Consumer Report's evaluation of washer dryers, the LG Tromm steam washer beats the others because it tested very good and excellent in all categories - washing performance, energy efficiency, water efficiency, capacity, gentleness and noise. It's also has 4.0 cu.ft. capacity, which is huge. Comes in blue or cherry red (too bad not a good red), and of course, white. Price is competitive with like quality washers + dryers (Kenmore and Samsung).
These are probably the ones I will end up buying. FYI, the white is $300 less at $1,100. That's just silly, pricing style and design (I think I prefer white over blue or red anyway). (via consumer reports)

I sooooo want this! I LOVE this four-person cycle. As a matter of fact, I'm a bit stunned by how much I want it. It's so damn good-looking for such a novelty item! Brilliant design execution on a potentially cheesy idea. Plus, it's zero emission, so it is as green as it gets.
I want to take this to burning man, where only bicycles or art cars are allowed. What a great machine to tour around in with a group of friends.

Lumiwall Light Panel
Smart (4) Funny Useful (2)
Updated Aug 22, 2006
I have two wishes for solar. One, a solar system that actually works well for home accessories and gadgets. Two, a well-designed system that is either discreet or stylish.Of all the people to answer my prayers, Sharp? Who woulda thunk??? Talk about a B brand that just jumped to A on my list.
This glass panel is one of my all-time favorite inventions. Layered between two glass pieces are LED lights that lays dormid in a smokey gray tone during the day, but absorbs enough energy to cast a luminous glow at night. Not quite ready for light a front porch, but it's so beautiful, I can see it used as a night light panels. I can see these being used as fancy design light fixtures in museums. Due out in 2007. I don't even want to know what the yet-to-be-determined price will be.

MARMOL RADZINER Prefab
Smart Funny Useful
Updated Aug 10, 2007
These prefabs are, well, fabulous! I have a pretty large yard - 1/4 acre. My goal is to install a prefab at the end of the yard to create an in-law apartment or at-home-office. I think renting out some of my space is a much more sustainable idea. Using less square footage is an important factor in living green.
Back to the product... I like the steel construction with lots of glass. It's basically a box, but it's the details that make these beautiful. Windows, steps, and the selected wood used.

Fatboy Island Lime Green
Smart Funny (1) Useful
Updated Jan 20, 2008
I've come to terms with the fact I'm a pouf-chaser. I don't know why I keep buying them, over and over again. It started with thinking they're inexpensive alternatives to furniture, but after owning about 50 of them over several years, that thought-process is now considered delusional.
I've been into acid greens lately. All kinds of green, but in particular acid green. I love the round island fatboy because it looks less like a dog bed.

Allscape Design offers beautiful orchid arrangements in unique vessels. He designed some of the great silhouettes for Dvider, the wall decals company. I wasn't surprised when I found out. Those wall decals reflect his floral design style. These aren't cheap though. The arrangements are priced around $250 and up.
