Loving: Buddha Board

This Buddha Board from Perpetual Kid is the perfect time waster.  You just paint on it with water and when it dries the image disappears, so you can revert back to childhood and finger paint with just water on your fingertips.

Sitting on: Livingstones


These Livingstones from Smarin Design look just like river stones that I already love to use around the house.  They also look really comfortable, like bean bag chairs, but nice enough to stand alone in a room.  Plus, you can pile up a bunch like those stone piles you find on the beach.

Loving: Weltfeld Shelving Unit


Unfortunately, this awesome Weltfeld shelving unit from Matthias Ries Design Office is only a prototype, but the second they start making them, I would run out and get a bunch.  I'm guessing that it's made out of recycled, heavy duty canvas.  When you unroll it, it makes up a complete shelving unit that would be perfect for an entry way or office, but when you move, you can just roll it back up.

Loving: ShinShoku Watch

I love this Shinshoku watch from Tokyo Flash Japan, but it would take a while to get used to telling time on it.  The red lights are hours, the green lights indicate 15 minutes, and the yellow is just 1 minute.  So the watch above says 8:35.  But you have to press one of the buttons to get it to light up, so most of the time it just looks like a really cool cuff.

Eating with: Iittala Mango Silverware

I love this set of Mango silverware from Iittala at All Modern.  It looks really delicate, and like it was carved from wood.  And heads are all a little bit quirky, so every meal will be memorable.

Sitting on: Morfeo Sofa


This Morfeo sofa from Domodinamica at Unica is perfect for a library/office/guest room.  The lamps are built in right over your head, so you can just curl up with a book and not have to worry about weird shadows from table lamps.  Plus, it pulls out to a bed just in case company stops by.

Loving: Labyrinth Lock

I think I would never be able to get out of the house in the morning if I installed this Defendius Labyrinth lock from Think Geek.  It would be really fun though to lock the door when guests come over and have them let themselves out.
