While surfing some of my favorite sources for ceiling fans for a client I’ve come across an awesome floor light option. For an ultra-contemporary space the Camp Floor lamp from Marset adds a bit of War of World-esque look to your living room. The fully articulated “head” can be pointed up for ambient lighting or focused downward into a seating arrangement. Amazingly functional AND aggressively styled the Camp Floor makes its presence known in any room. Available online for $989

Found this one on Gizmodo this morning - just in case you were wondering how to fit this in as part of a contemporary home… stop wondering just follow the rule - TRULY TRAGIC TIKI’s should be avoided; particularly in the form of an aquarium. So sacrifice the $429 cost on something more interesting at DWR or other home furnishings locations.

I saw this last night and couldn’t help but add it to the blog - it’s and interactive Mood Alert system using the common Emoticon symbols to tell your spouse, partner or coworkers just what you’re feeling. It’s attached to an ethernet network jack and reachable via a dedicated IP address from a webpage or cellphone… So if you’re having a bad day at work or on the drive home just log in and telegraph you’re own little personal terror alert to the family before you get there! How’s that for preparedness. Check out other concepts from the designer at his homepage

OK, I’m not lazy… I’m just obsessed!  Obsessed

with Vitamin Living!  I cruised around their website, and they have so many more cool objects since we saw them a few months ago.  Usually when I write about a company two times in a row - I’m just lazy and don’t want to research… But this is an obsession.  Check out this I.V. Planter.  Strange? Yes.  Sort of sick? Absolutely!

The self watering pot representative of a drip feed in a hospital keeps the plant watered.  The device is approximately 10.5” tall and 17.5” in diameter.  This weird little gadget will put you out nearly $300.

I’ve never been a fan of the garden gnome.  They creep me out and remind me of the WalMart garden center.  UNTIL TODAY, that is!

While digging through vendor catalogs from our last trade show, I came across Vitamin Living , a really obscure British company that creates things that make you go “WTF!”.  Just my kind of company!  Among their cool accoutrements are the little gnomes made of bone china with VERY cool patterns… from faces to skulls and my personal favorite, angel wings.  Suitable for indoors or outdoors—each gnome is about 8 1/4” tall.
