furniture

When Liz sent me a link to Furniqi , I sort of freaked out a little because a table that charges your phone is one of the smartest tech innovations I've seen in a long time (and trust me, I see a lot). And yes, while the name is a little…

I dug these end tables right away when I saw them on Design Milk -- vaguely mid-century lines, clean design, nice contrast between the natural wooden legs and the black or white top. Basically, my furniture style to a tee. Then I took a …

One of my New Year's resolutions this year is to get my kids their own homework spaces so that I'm not asking them to clean their notebooks and backpacks off the kitchen table while I'm in the final stages of dinner prep each night. In m…

There are quite a few virtual decorating online resources that allow you to place your virtual furniture in your virtual home to get a sense of what it will look like. We've liked SketchUp , NousDecor , and even the awesome augmented rea…

When you look at this picture, do you see anything out of the ordinary? Sure, it's a minimalist design, but the beautiful table you see is actually a sophisticated speaker system. The Kaikuuu01 was the brainchild of a design firm called …

When an IKEA opened a few miles from me, I became one of those devotees who believes one can never have enough EXPEDIT bookcases--provided you can figure out how to put them together. Not all of us have that gene (or understanding of Swe…

I've liked Natuzzi sofas for a while. You get nice modern lines for not too much money--let's say it's not IKEA but it's not Roche Bobois either. But I'm seeing them in a whole new way since catching a glimpse of this cell phone charging…

For those of us who have organization and home decorating heavily on the brain this month (now I know I'm not the only one), I'm totally digging this fabulous media console from CB2. The media console by Mash Design Studio was clearly in…
