Have you checked out ideacious? It's similar to Kickstarter in that creators post projects that need backing for manufacturing, and buyers order products that are currently available or 'pre-order' a product before it's made. However, if a buyer pre-orders an item, that's an opportunity to invest and possibly make some money once it goes into production. Read their how ideacious works page for a better explanation. Here are three things ...Read more

This work table caught my eye the last time I visited West Elm (had to check out the Glass Greenhouse in person), and despite its rather small footprint, it's a great price. While the size is a tad small for my own personal workspace, it would do well in a tight spot or as an entryway console. Solid mango wood top with weathered finish; iron legs. 54"w x 28.5"d x 29.5"h....Read more

It's very simple to use: snap a few photos, set the animation speed, and you're done. You need to create an account to upload the gifs to the web, but from there you can also post to Facebook, Tumblr, ...Read more

Lovely geometric-patterned scarves at STRING THEORY. (via Cool Hunting) If your boss/co-worker sees you 'cyberloafing', cite this study that says Web Surfing Helps at Work. Scientists Want Your Help to ID Creatures in Your Home Make a leather door mat out of belts(!). (via Unconsumption) Architizer: Eight-year-long time-lapse of the 9/11 Memorial construction site. No idea how much this is cost-wise, but I love it: Keukenkabinet Ha. A Kickstarter Project ...Read more

Finding the right bar/counter stool is no easy task, yet I'd be willing to take on the challenge knowing this baby is an option. It's stackable and looks oh-so-cool in metal tube and steel sheet.

To change position of this lamp, you simply place the base on one of its 24 faces. I'd have to see this in person to really know how easy it would be to maneuver, but I do like the simplicity of base-stem-light with no extra joints or pivots. Also, is there something a little golf-like about the faceted white base and club-ish head? Design by Arihiro Miyake, 2009. 16.5"L X 23.6"H Cast ...Read more
