Huh. This is what Magazine’s site had to say:

“What is it? A garden ladder, a sort of structural element to be abandoned outside, leaning against a wall or even lying down, helpful to reach the highest branches of a tree or to hold your jacket on a hot summer day…”

Or, to help keep your leggy model upright in her gingham check pants. Hmm.

15.75” x 63”h

But, it’s what’s inside that counts… Each doll (IceBat is shown on left, Ox on right) comes with a hangtag that tells each uglydoll’s unique tale.

Surface washable with mild soap and water.
(Both are plush polyester)

IceBat is approximately 12”Wx3”Dx14”H
Ox is approximately 11”Wx3”Dx12.5”H

Urban Outfitters has a new furniture line called “found”, which features one of a kind vintage furniture that has been spiffed up and made available for you. Great resource if you don’t have a good used-furniture store nearby. Obviously, assortment changes frequently. Via Design*Sponge

I’m slightly tired of the whole “aluminum” desk accessory craze, but this thing is so handy, I couldn’t help it. Besides, in my ever constant attempt to become more organized, this low-tech solution is especially appealing after I’ve just lost my PDA.

I also like the little metal tabs that just clip on to your business cards to keep them sorted alphabetically.

So here’s a new bed from cb2.com… It’s kinda like a grown up boxspring that got smart and went minimal. There’s a slat roll support system and center rail for those of you wondering about how it compares structurally, so you don’t have to worry about your mattress or your back being unhappy. The price ain’t bad either. See, now everybody wins. Hot-rolled powder-coated steel frame.

You might have seen the Ghost Antler Coat Racks posted before, and if you liked ’em, you’re in luck. This is also by Erich Ginder and it’s really one of my favorites. It’s about two thousand times better than any other coat rack I’ve come across, not to mention just being plain pretty to look at.

Dimensions (inches): 18 W 72 H
Materials: cast resin and powdercoated steel

This wall sconce would be great in a hallway or by the bedside. It incorporates 2 of my favorite features: bentwood walnut, and wall mounting (for a streamlined appearance).

It’s got a 15 foot cord, but I’m thinking why not just call an electrician and have them install it properly in the wall? Call me crazy, but if I spend almost $500 on bedside lamps, I don’t want a cord draped on the ground.

Also available in maple.

H 24″ x W 12″ x D 5″

Materials:Satin Anodized Aluminum, silicone rubber feet
Dimensions: 20″L x 5″W x 2″H
