Recommended by abh75 on Sep 20, 2006

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.

for the mid-century modern mini. ok, so it doesn't have bells & whistles but this classic house of cards by charles & ray eames will keep them occupied & away from the tv. who knows, you could discover a future architect.

sleek design & quality sound. what better way to cozy up your pad than to play old lp's. besides this gives you an excuse to start collecting one more thing!

oh, yeah. it's old school. i totally remember my beloved viewmaster, the 'land of the lost' reels were a fave. magical gifts that help parents reminisce & don't require batteries or make noise are always a plus. you can find new viewmaster reels on everything from sesame street to mid-century modern architecture. i want one!
