This Art is Far-out!

Artistic CD Holder

This is not a trivet, but is a giant (4 ft) CD and DVD storage solution and too cool for school.

This is not your grandmother’s hope chest.
What a wonderful thing to hand to your children.

Need drawer space anyone?

What a load of books I could stack underneath this coffee table, or even place a statue or two, or better yet, books on one side and statue on the other!

Leslie Webb, aiming for science, made her first wood cut and knew she had found her calling. For more information on these cool, artistic and functional pieces, go to her website.

Before.

After. I’m reading a new site where I found this lovely
before and after kitchen redo. I sure wish I could
slow down and do a quickie kitchen redo before Christmas.
Bless their pea-pickin’ hearts for pulling it off!

David Hicks Pink Bedroom Circa 1970's



This is timeless style and other than the 
scalloped canopy, I wouldn't change a thing.
This goes out to all the women suffering from 
Breast Cancer. Please pray for an end to this killer.

Pick a couch, any couch.


Mr. Upfront and Personal at your service.

Mr. All Around Perfect.

A mysterious "L" shaped beauty
 waiting for suitable companion pieces.

To be or not to be, that is the question.
I cannot find the source for these, but they are too delicious to go to waste. I remember something about them being handmade in Chicago and are all green design. Wow, they are sounding better all the time. Can't you just imagine designing around these beauties? Anyone of them will do ya.
