So I came across a game-changer this morning on that wild and wonderful place called Pinterest. Just imagine how this picnic table / wine cooler / instant bar could improve your al fresco summer dining and help you become a better wino… The table pictured above was designed by Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects but [...]

Tiny Art in a Sardine Can

Damien Hirst Sardine can

Most artists tend to think out of the box but this artist has gone back in the box– a sardine can to be exact. It’s safe to say Nathalie Alony enjoys working on a smaller scale and with her latest project, she’s created several series of miniature sculptures depicting anything from everyday life in little [...]

Welcome to the Birdhood

Just something I stumbled upon recently that was too fun not to share … Painted Jeff Canham and woodworker Luke Bartels collaborated to make this series of “seedy” urban establishments in 2012, a collection they called “For the Birds”.

Perhaps you’ve splashed out on a shiny new camera and it will travel everywhere with you this summer (it better considering how much you spent on it), becoming a part of your look. But does Nikon or Canon written in giant letters need to become part of your look too? Bloom Theory is a wonderful [...]

Half-naked Hologram in Paris boutique is kind of mesmerizing

In the evening, when the clock strikes 9 in the L’Empreinte lingerie boutique in Paris, a little lady that I’m pretty sure is Tinkerbell’s older, slightly saucier sister, has been making an appearance in a pair of lacy white knickers and matching bra.

No matter how much I like to deny it, I’m a sucker for romantic stuff like this.
