I Heart Felt
If you have not figured it out yet- I have a huge crush on things that are made with wool felt! Love it! I have a pile of felt just wait to be used to make things like these cushions made by Bev Hisey.

Dolly Pop
This is a fantastic idea for transforming your 2 buck chuck into a festive holiday display or even a gift bag! I am always in search of reasons to purchase skooshy fur.

FLOWmarket
The FLOWmarket is a supermarket selling consumer awareness and is designed to inspire consumers to think, live and consume more holistic. The goal is to encourage sustainable innovation and growth through out the world. On the shelves you can find bottles of "stress killers", "ups and downs", "tolerance", and "pollution dissolver's" and "lack of exercise killers". I have some open shelving in my bathroom and kitchen that could really use some relabeled bottles!

This was designed to be a trivet. Pretty cool huh? I would have never thought to use a string of ceramic beads that way but there ya go!

Comic Book Room
This would be a great thing to do to a comic book obsessed kids room. Just get one of those super fat Sharpie markers and go over the edge of everything.

Cuckoo Cuckoo
We just moved into the coolest mid century modern home this week and one of the rooms is sunken with a huge stone fireplace. It feels alot like a lodge or a pub in that room so we plan to go with it. We are going to rip up the carpet and install a dark Durapalm floor. We have our eye on a cool pool table and we have some great sofas that we will redo. In keeping with that tacky lodgey feel, I want to hang a moose head and cookcoo clock but not a real moose head- something more Picasso like. I still want them to feel mid-modern and I think this clock seems to really fill that need, but for $598.00 I know I can do better. After snooping around the net I found this site for kits but I think if I put more into it I should come up with the right movement for just a few bucks. I am going to have so much fun shopping for the bird too!

Pet Photo
Pets with spunk and a little get-up-and-go make great blowups. An enormous pet photograph may always look appropriate in a child's room or playroom, but try it in an unexpected place—a more formal living room or a kitchen or bathroom.
Why This? Shooting the dachshund on a white backdrop plays up her unusual shape; a white frame doesn't pen her in.

Stone Towel Hook
I think I could definitely find a rock on the beach (Pacific Beach has tons of really pretty black rocks) and then glue it to a piece of scrap wood, screw it to my wall and have a just as nice of a hook for like what? For Free?
VivaTerra

Thrift Store Treasures
As I walk through the thrift store I often fantasize about turning those discarded mix match dishes into one of a kind pieces. I just know that with a little imagination and TLC (and perhaps a kiln) you could possibly have the coolest plates in town and everyone would be begging to have dinner parties at your house because you rock!
