Add this to your rather-nice-to-look-at toy list for kids. Sixteen blocks have trails of ants on all six sides, forming loads of patterns for little (or big) ones to explore. Again, could be an excellent gift for niece/nephew/etc., as long as they are 3+. Each set contains images of ant hills, a queen with her eggs, and a spider, the ant's nemesis. ...Read more

I know you've most likely seen this, as it's been making the rounds, but it's just too perfect to not feature here on BLTD. There's no visible means of support from the front, so your view is entirely uninterrupted. This is done by the use of magnets, of course, and allow for the simplest design in providing you the right viewing angle whilst working (or playing, as the case may ...Read more

Occasionally, panelling can add a nice architectural feel to a room. To be specific, I'm not talking of the dark vertical wood panelling that was popular in mid 60s-70s that you see everyone ripping out or painting over. I'm talking about white panelling done in a Georgian architectural style, as shown in the above photo. It adds a traditional element, and gives a nice contrast to modern furnishings and ...Read more

Carafes are often underrated, but possibly because there's few that catch the eye and hold the attention (if only for more than a few moments). They're extremely handy for keeping water or other refreshments at hand, and eliminate unnecessary trips to and from the kitchen or bar. This carafe set by Muuto is slightly oversized with a nice cork stopper that emphasizes the overall width and shape. Andreas Engesvik, the ...Read more

I've had this coat stand bookmarked for what feels like forever, and only recently has it become available through a US retailer. The Lean-On coat stand, you guessed it, simply leans against a wall, creating an easily movable storage option. Unfortunately, as is often the case, it is significantly higher in price and most likely out of the average person's price range. Sorry. Check out the prices below, and we ...Read more

So what, it's a cabinet, you say. Well, so it is, but there's something a little special about it other than the lowish price tag. If you view it from the side, it appears to float on its two front legs, which it does thanks to a secure wall mount. This clears up the clutter of legs and adds an extra oomph to the stream lined feel of the cabinet. ...Read more
