This is just the most necessary thing ever for my house.... the fact that there are several delicious colors to choose from makes the torture all the more enjoyable.

I mean, come on, the pink one? For my daughter's room? "Like, totally, the coolest thing ever. EVER!"

I have begun the coveting..... let's hope it doesn't last too long this time.

Porthole Tub

Description

Water Monopoly has debuted a peek-a-boo tub for the mermaid who lacks modesty. I love the design but wouldn't mind a few more portholes. I always seem to misplace my rubber duck.

Teak Opium Bed

First to recommend

Description

I have a commercial building I've been renovating and have used it as event space here and there over time. On one of the floors, I tossed in a Moroccan lounge, mainly because the yards and yards of sari fabric I had hanging around covered the unfinished walls so easily. Thank god for staple guns. Whoo hoo staple guns.

Also in that room? A couple of opium beds, a Chinese marriage bed and even- ready for it?- a rickshaw. I have a great guy, Eli, who owns ArtAsia in Milwaukee (see separate rec) and he brings several shipments a year back from his travels to his shop.

With that said, the price of the beds at this online store is just about the best I've seen. Checking Ebay just now, I found a similar style for $300 more.

These bed make fabulously flexible and customizable options for seating in your den, at an event, in the yard....in fact, they're one of my favorite things.

Customizable, Flashing Neon Mirrors

First to recommend

Description

Mirror, mirror on the wall.... who is the naughtiest one of all?

The ability to choose your own graphics and text for the variety of customizable mirrors offered here allows you to be shy and demure or wild as hell.

There is also a function enabling you to choose no light, flashing or solid.

I would love to put the one pictured outside, grab a chair and a cocktail and just watch the neighbors reactions. Now that would be a fine time.

Dialogue Carpet

First to recommend

Description

Designer Ane Lykke has taken a provocative approach to the function of carpet, one that urges participation and a "Don't tread on me, PLAY with me!" approach. Which is all lovely, indeed. But frankly, I'm too busy wanting to just dive into this lush creation to intellectualize it.

Custom Backlit Art

First to recommend

Description

The only thing I like more than using lighting to set a mood is when a company lets me customize it to my own taste. VuYourSpace is such a place. Choose from their online gallery or upload your own digital image for a look and feel that is distinctly yours.

from the vuyourspace.com site:

Modern art & design is driven by change and originality. Vu has taken its passion for innovation to break the barriers of conventional art by developing this unique "Backlit Art" system. This design alternative is ideal for both residential & commercial spaces.

Unique Design
Unlike your typical backlit box, our Backlit Art system is made with three components:
1- "face-mounted duratrans" Acrylic Art panel
2- 2.5" profile backlit box that sits behind the Framless Acrylic Art panel
3- Aluminum Mounting Hardware (Four 3" long x 1" diameter aluminum barrels with 1" diameter caps)

Quality Construction & Lighting
- All-aluminum box structure (hidden behind Acrylic Art panel)
- Precision placement of fluorescent lamps provides powerful, even illumination
- "Color - correct" lamps maximize color fidelity and impact of art

Customize your Backlit Art by selecting an image from our galleries, and selecting one of our standard sizes, or upload your own image to personalize your Backlit Art.
