ah, i dream about these volumes... taschen continues to be the be-all-end-all when it comes to books on modernism. get this re-printed set of the best of domus for a very lucky design enthusiast.

Oh, Carlo. You were an architect, a fabulous furniture designer, race car enthusiast & who knew - a master of the polaroid camera. You chose to keep your pics of beautiful naked prostitutes all to yourself which made us covet them even more when they were discovered. You know what you do to us! This book is pricey but its safe to say no one else you know will have it & everyone will want it! So vintage & so cool.

eco-friendly interior paint in a great range of saturated colors inspired by the outdoors. the coolest thing this company offers is 'poster-sized' swatches you hang right on the wall before making that all important paint decision. they also make a non-toxic, washable paint for kid's rooms just in case your little one likes to chew on window sills.

this sleek bench born of reclaimed scrap wood from various brooklyn workshops makes the perfect perch for an entryway. totally random straitions from all the different woods used ensure it'll go-with-anything. throw your shoes underneath & keep your nest neat! green is good.
