Loving: Bamboo Wall Panel

This Bamboo Wall Panel from Three by Three Seattle at Velocity is so much nicer than your regular whiteboard. Plus, the little cup, magnetic strip and hooks are a great way to organize a workspace.

Loving: Charisma Pencils

These pencils from Reed Seifer at Supermarket HQ are kind of ridiculous, but the colors are pretty awesome.

Loving: Orange-Red Wall Mount Spotlight Lamp

Every room needs just a little bit of orange in them, and this Wall Mounted Spotlight Lamp from Three Potato Four would be really cute above a desk. Plus, it would save precious desktop space.

Loving: The Journey Journal

This Journey Journal from Cracked Designs at Supermarket HQ is such a great way to remember a road trip. It has just enough pages to quickly jot notes and thoughts, but not so many you feel like you have to write down every thing that happened just to fill it up. And the cover has pin holes over major cities and little pins and a string, so you can see exactly where you went.

Loving: Ideaco Coin Bank

I really need this Ideaco Coin Bank from Emmo Home. I actually don't spend my spare change, I just toss it all in a cup and then splurge on something when the cup gets full, but that cup isn't very attractive. This bank has a really wide slot so you can easily just throw all your spare change in it. Plus, you can toss a few dollars in there too.

Loving: 8 Days-a-Week Planner

I love the fall colors on this 8 Days-a-Week Planner from Bob's Your Uncle at Velocity.  It has the regular Sunday through Saturday plus Someday which is great for people like me who have great intentions of getting things done, but always put it off until someday.

Sitting at: Wave Desk

I love the simplicity of this Wave Desk from Offi at Feel More Human.  And the rounded edge would make it really comfortable when you end up sitting and typing at it for long stretches of time.

Sitting on: Uno Home Office Chair

I love how different the metal frame is on this Uno Home Office Chair from Smart Furniture.  It looks more vintage than new, and the mustard yellow color is really hard to pass up.

Loving: Saito Wood Square Wastebasket

So a wastebasket isn't necessarily the most exciting part of a room, but that's probably because most of them out there aren't that great.  This Saito Wood Square Wastebasket from Emmo Home is completely different.  It's just a plain boxy shape, but since the hole is only half the top, you wouldn't see the trash until it gets really full.

Loving: Cina's USB Flash Drive

I love the delicate look of this USB flash drive from Cina at Supermarket HQ.  It looks like it was carved from ivory, but it's really made from a hard nylon material and was made by a 3D printer.

Loving: Black and Blum Desk Organizer

I love this desk organizer from Black and Blum at Emmo Home.  It's something that doesn't really stand out like those big plastic organizers, but it's just as functional.  Of course I would probably end up putting a lot of pens in my real coffee cup on accident.

Loving: Perpetual Desk Calendar

My mom used to have one of these Perpetual Desk Calendar.  I'm pretty sure she actually tried to use it to keep track of the date, but I would just keep flipping it over and over to hear the little number disks slide around.  I may have to just get this one from Three Potato Four, because they are just that awesome.

Writing in: Walls Notebook

I saw this Walls Notebook in Urban Outfitters, and I've been kicking myself for not getting it.  Instead of blank pages for you to fill, it has photos of blank walls from NYC, so you can make your own graffiti, or just scrawl your notes across people's windows.

Loving: Grassy Organizer

I would love to get a bunch of these little Grass Organizers from Smart Furniture and line them up behind the faucet in the bathroom.  It would be strange and unexpected, but really practical for all the little things that clutter up the bathroom.

Loving: Stripes Notecube

I don't know if I'd be able to use this notecube from the MoMA store.  It's just too cool to start ripping pages off.  And, since it's flexible, I'd probably spend a good deal of time just playing with the stack.

Loving: Grid Wall Pockets

These Grid Wall Pockets from MIO at Supermarket HQ are the perfect thing to keep things organized when desktop space is limited. You can find a spot for just about anything since there are so many different sized pockets. And I love the golden yellow as a background to the grey felt.

Sticking: Origami Sticky Pads


At work I use about a case of post its a day, but they just end up getting thrown out once the note is irrelevant.  If I had these Origami Sticky Pads from Suck UK, I could both kill time, and make my desk a sculpture garden of yellow paper.

Currently Loving: Hive Modern Calendars































I love these calendars from Hive Modern. The first one, called Timor, is great for a small space on a sparse desk, and the larger one, called Formosa, is perfect to add a little bit of graphic art to a wall.  And you don't have to throw the out at the end of December.

Currently Loving: The MoMA Store



I love this Desk Tower from the MoMA store.  The simple shape and rich 
colors remind me of building blocks that you would have had as a child. 
This one, you could actually have out at work though and not get funny 
looks.  The only drawback is that you can't completely restack it while 
still using it because the pencil cup is upsidedown, but that can be 
worked around. 

Another great find from the MoMA store is real live Colorforms.  They have 
an exact replica of the original book put out in the 50s that brings back 
kindergarten completely.  Not just a toy for kids, though the fact that 
you can peel and stick them to the book or windows or anything shiny 
without destroying anything, they're also good for sitting back and 
getting the creative juices flowing without a big cleanup.

Metal Origami?



Part of what's mesmerizing about these metal designs by Blu Dot is that they come flat and you get to fold it into shape by yourself.  Finally flat-pack is finally cool, durable, and doesn't require an Allen wrench.
