Fiber Optic Illuminated Tablecloth

Damn it. I've got to stop looking at lighting. Every time I think I've disciplined myself from spending temptation, I run across another great light I want.
This tablecloth is made of fiber optic lights interwoven into a polyester/polymethacrylate fabric, which is waterproof and washable (can you believe?). I wonder how it would look on suspended, like a window shade... Uses an 11' power cord, which can be removed for washing.
I so want this! I'd like my Burning Man tent to be made of this fiber optic fabric. How hot would that be???

A great interactive wallpaper border for kids' room. I wish I had this as a kid. It would have made "go to your room" much more interesting.

Select the item you want, then pick from the 150 or more patterns offered for the vase of your choice. Smart business. It's not truly customizable, since you have to select from their existing images. But it allows a much wider breadth of graphics, which makes you feel the item is personalized.

I'm shopping for wall decals for my home. I've decided to spice up my plain walls. There are so many good options out there, it's almost impossible to make a decision.
I love dVider's nature series... Simple and elegant graphic that will look lovely no matter where you put it. This cherry blossom one is one of my favorites, but I do have quite a few favorites.

I'm generally not a fan of wallpaper. The pattern is permanent. To me, it's like wearing the same graphic T-shirt everyday. However, I do have a few T-shirts I *would* wear everyday if I could. I suppose this wallpaper is like that. I love this version of the cherry blossoms. There's something so lovely about the slight pink flowers on aqua blue background. There's a happiness and sadness about it, and renewal as well. Okay, so I'm seeing a bit too much into this. (via spike73)

I consider these 3-dimensional wall decals. Very easy to use, like stickers. Peel and apply. These add more depth of a boring wall. And you can be original with how you apply the circles. I suggest laying them out on the floor first before sticking them on walls.

Wallprint is a new wall decals provider out of Columbia (I know, Columbia???). Their value offer is the size of their decals. Uber-big decals. It's more like a mural in some aspects. I think they're quite nice full-length floor to ceiling. Their designs are nice (minus a few humorous ones). I do, however, recognize where they got their inspiration (ie. Blik, dVider...).
Price seems reasonable for size, about double that of the 2'-3' ones. Check out their site to see selection and color options. One warning though, mute your speakers. Or at least turn it way down before you launch the URL.

Blik is a California-based wall decal business who has been dominating this space. They work hard, and they work fast. I love their custom words program. All you have to do is submit the words and size preference. They will return to you with a cost quote... Then you take it from there.

The graphic of this holiday wall decal was so well-designed, I think you can use this all year-round. What a great way to dress up a shop's front window.

crossbones graffiti stencil

Updated May 22, 2007
Good graphic stencil that can be used on T-shirts, walls or furniture. I think this particular skull and crossbones stencil would be great on an old tote bag. The fact the tote bag is makes it even better. I also think it will look good on some old jeans... Maybe those skinny jeans I foolishly bought and wore once. Yeah, then maybe it'll look intentionally punk rock instead of dorky. Oooh, and on an old jeans jacket! Now I'm excited. I can reclaim these things out of my goodwill box.

I thought this was just "cute" until I figured out where to put this little wide-eyed owl. In the bathroom, facing the toilet, eye level. Can you imagine the discomfort having these huge eyes staring at you? Hahahahaha. (via mademoiselle_a)

These transfers work on glass and ceramics, and they don't come off in the dishwasher. Even more surprising, they are still removable and reusable (accordingly to the info I read). That is pretty cool - I have trouble with commitments in general.
AT first I thought $6 a set was inexpensive, but then I started counting those little stickies - to make a cohesive set, I would have to buy about 6-8 of these. Hmmm. That adds up.

Front and back stickers for your ipod. Not as sophisticated as some of the others, but the artwork offered is fabo. Maybe because it's kinda feminine? There are tons of non-girlie options too. And they're quite inexpensive. $6.95 per design.

Fold bedding makes some spetacular wall decals that are 4-dimensional objects instead of flat vinyl. They're more limited in their graphics, but with creativity, one can make some very cool wall art. Self-adhesive so they're easy to do. They come white so you can paint whatever color you choose. (via loft3)

Self-adhesive canvas for the back of ipod. Great pink-on-pink graphic of cherry blossoms. It's too bad they're only one-sided. These graphics would make great complete coverage skins or gels.
