All Stars are Not Created Equal

Old man once said: "How 'young' you live your life is up to you. Take it from one who knows. I learned this the hard way." So never settle. Enjoy friends and family. Follow your dreams like you never would.

Two Credenzas

I've come across two sideboards that I'm totally in love with. One boasts a more mid-century vibe while the other is modern-chic. Both will make my space 10x more drool-worthy. What do you think?

Hideous Colors on Modern Pieces

Such travesties. But interesting to look at nonetheless.

Beautiful Mellow Yellow

Ain't nothing like mother fuckin' yellow to get you through these lame ass heat waves this summer. I feel bad for the folks in DC. It's gonna be 126 degrees F and 100% humidity there. Hipsters with substantial bearding are expected to die.

Wednesday Splurge: Iconic Kitchen

Mmmm... tasty tasty Eames. Did I mention they're knock offs? I'm not sure if that will fly with most people, but at $60 a pop, who can complain?

Tuesday Idea: Tufted Feel-Good Headboards

Kinda obsessed with them. It's almost like I want everything tufted now. I should design a tufted iPhone case. That'd probably sell a few million.

Monday Goodie: Zinc Hooks

Maybe I've been listening to too much Kris Kros. Maybe I just like it that way. $38.

Building Sensation

Here's an idea of what I've got in mind for my new place next month.

CYCLOC Wall Flower Pot for Bikes

For $90, you can have your very own stylish wall-mounted flower pot.

I'm In Love With a DIYer

This simply amazing transformation by Adriana makes use of a simple IKEA BRATTBY kitchen cart, turning it into a fantastic side table that's both modern and full of chic-ness.

Room Divider by 16th Workshop

I have a secret lust for shelving units. It's like owning a piece of miniature architecture in a way. Then again, $6900 is a bit out of range for me as of the moment. Oh well.

Duba-B8 Molo Chair

3 years in the making you say? Those boys at Duba-B8 ain't playing around. Built from ABS plastic and available in black, white, lemon, oyster and violet, the chair is for the modern enthusiast that's down with the industrial times.

Director Who

I wanna be a superstar. I wanna be a director. Just tell me where to sign.

Smart Sofas

Woot. I'm excited. I'll be designing some crazy shit in the next few weeks. Inspired by Cabracega's USB Sofa, I'm setting out to create the perfect (ha, who am I kidding?) smart sofa that will make computing on the laptop, iPad, or watching TV to be one of the most pleasurable experiences ever.

And no, there aren't any planned attachment upgrades geared towards self-pleasure for now. Maybe in the far future.

The Definitive Dining Room Chair

I think I've found it, folks. I've found the perfect dining room chair. It's the DC09 Chair by Inoda+Sveje Design Studio. Delicious!

I Love Dust x Eames DCW

A nice NY collaboration between the Eames team and British designers, ilovedust. The end result? Something any brand enthusiast would kill for to have in their living room.

Eames is Gold, Man

Got burnt today. Crisp. But being able to see (and sit in!) so many vintage Eames pieces offered at the Alameda Antique Faire today... made it all worth it.

New Home This August

It may be quite a stretch to aim for such extravagance in the place I'll be moving into this summer with a small group of young musicians, DJs, and general hipsters, but one can always dream, right?

Getting Hooked

Eco-friendly and handmade in Brooklyn, these Hang Out Hooks by David Zachary are a fitting addition to any home space looking for cheap coat/scarf hooks that sport some mad styles. $18 at the Supermarket.

Retro Renovation

How I do enjoy a good DIY remix/revamp. Joelle from Umbu Lumiere recently picked up a curbside freebie and added her own visual twist to the chair. To keep some of the vintage intact, she kept a little bit of the original wood, repainted just the outer frame white, and even reused an old skirt for the seat. Now I kinda wish I had some reupholstering skills.
