Furnishing My Home!

I am a coffee lover and you can imagine my happiness when I saw this

This ottoman is upholstered using surplus repurposed fair trade coffee jute bags.   Each bag is unique and features logos and markings used to identify the original goods. Oh, this durable and cool ottoman would look so nice in my living room.  If you want to go green, then this ottoman is the thing to buy.  Get it now from Gusmodern.com.

Do you remember reading The Beano or Dandy when you were a kid?  They were one of my favorites.  Well, if you are a huge fan, then I am sure you are going to love this Beano/Dandy canvas in your home.  They sure bring back lots of fond memories.  You can have Dennis the Menace or Desperate Dan, beautifully printed on stretched canvas on your room walls.  They are available in regular size and super-sized version.  These retro canvas make a great housewarming or birthday gift

Recently I attended the housewarming party of a friend of mine who works as a Seattle personal injury lawyer. She and her family moved in about a month ago.  She decorated her home tastefully.  I love the dark wood floor in her home.  She also has many wood furniture.  An example of her home is below (I forgot to take my camera with me that day, hence no photos of her home).

The walls of her home are painted in white and she also has a few funiture made of bamboo and seagrass.  Her style is very zen-like.   It is such a beautiful home and I am truly inspired.  I must remember to bring along my camera when I visit her next time.

I really dislike having too many things on my desk.  Besides the laptop, there are books, papers and files lying around.  I just found the best solution to clear my desk.  It is a cool desktop stand from Twelve South.  The BookArc is a soft, silicone footpad that will hold the laptop vertically, leaving a cleaner, less cluttered workspace. Its design is elegant and to ensure the perfect fit, BookArc has three different sized scratch-free, silicone cushions.  Awesome eh?  I wonder if they have similar designs for LCD tvs?  I am going to order this asap because I want to have more space on my desk.
