Ok! Yes, hate is maybe too strong a word…but the point is..this table is not ‘me’.

My kitchen table is boring and ugly…

I think i want to paint it silver

I will leave this thought to brew in my mind for a while

This is wall it lives next to…

How beautiful are these Alphabet drawers that were blogged over at More ways to Waste Time.

Made me think about my obsession with Antique Letterpress WoodBlock. Even though I have not started collecting these these, I totally obsess over the Ebay listings frequently :)

I have always wanted to show off my many shoes in a cool way….Now I have seen the perfect solution!! Shrine Rack!!

Shrine rack is a wall-mounted fixture for displaying your favorite pair of kicks. Each shrine rack sells for only $29.99US – I guess the trick here for Shoe fiends is to decide…10 Shrine Racks or another pair of shoes!! :)

According to designer Fernando A Robert it was specifically designed for sneakerheads, each brushed steel rack holds one pair of sneakers. The intention of the design is to highlight the very best features of your perfectly preserved shoes.

Fernando lives and works in San Francisco as a freelance product designer. His collaborations with various Bay Area studios helping them to create innovative and unique products in multiple industries. Currently Fernando is designing and developing footwear, while exploring many of his own ideas in the realm of product design.

I absolutely love humour in design…especially with it is used in furniture and interior design.
These puzzle piece seats from Bert&Dennis of Holland are just the right amount of quirky matched with practicality. Not only are that great for extra seating, they would make a great coffee table, that when needed could be separated and used individual little tables in different positions or areas.
I am of course not that crash hot on the pink though….gimme maybe Black, Red and White and we are talking!!
