Axum and Lalibella? These are stools of course – inspired by the Ethiopian immigrants who live near David Keller.

I like to call them candy chairs and yes, I would love to have a few. Hello David!

My blender and I discovered a Chocolate-Coffee-Banana Milkshake and at the same time I came across the Coney Island Line by Uhuru. It really is a great evening of some pretty amazing discoveries.

Wait, Coney Island Line? Yeah, that place with the rides. You know, you have seen it in the movies a few times and if you were lucky enough you might have even been there and screamed while on The Cyclone.

Uhuru has Coney Island furniture! The Cyclone Lounger has to be my favorite, but there are many pieces to choose from.

Boardwalk Console – The reclaimed wood surface of our console echoes the inlaid pattern of the original boardwalk, as seen from above. The play of scale however, from the miniature nail-heads to the thinly cut Ipe, changes the context of the original design and adds an element of surprise. The wood sits atop a blackened steel base. Can’t get enough!

Drop end table – The Parachute Jump, a historical landmark punctuating the panorama of Coney Island, influenced the design of this end table. Once part of the World’s Fair, the now defunct ride looms over the rest of the park. Uhuru captures its essence through mechanical connections on a steel base, crowned with a faceted Ipe top.

Others include: Wonder Coffee Table, Drum Lamp, Saison Mirror – clicky here!

Maybe it is because it is almost 2am, and I want to sleep – but the Lobster Chair by Lund & Paarmann looks just too comfortable.

“The shell is laminated, bend wood with a walnut veneer at the back. Inside the shell we have used Pantera foam, as it is very durable and probably the least damaging foam regarding our environment. The swivel base is chrome-plated steel. The fabrics and the leather we are using for Lobster are of the very best quality.”

After a night of almost no sleep, I cannot stop yawning and I feel slightly backwards.
Holly Dyment Design loves color. Narry loves color. Narry. Needs. Sleep.

Love this rocker by Mina Perhonen and Torafu Architects. Perfect for a lazy afternoon in the sun.

I would like two, please. The only thing better than rocking is rocking with someone else.

The Deckstool by Jason Podlaski is a fun (and quirky) way to add color to any room.

“Solidly crafted using broken skateboards harvested from skateshops and skateparks across the U.S.A. Finely finished edges frame beautifully scuffed graphics that tell the story of the decks’ previous lives.”

They are selling out fast.

“Crafted by antiques dealer and furniture maker Timothy Oulton of London, our oversized steamer trunk armoire is configured as an ingeniously designed secretary.”

For only $2995 you can get the Mayfair Steamer Secretary Trunk in Vintage Cigar Leather (lined in leather-edged canvas).

It’s more “different” than “nice” and I am slightly distracted by the view (and the chair).

Do yourself a favor and look at the larger photo. Beautiful. The perfect bedroom. Neutral colors, a few spot colors here and there – and light. Lots of light.

I just love “The Inspired Life” section on the fashion label, Cole Haan’s website. Which is where I found the photo of my favorite bedroom.

“Cobbling together a life from what inspires you (family, friends, art, nature, community, competition, adventure, love) is the ultimate individual sport. We admire those who jump in with both feet, who seek out the sweet spot between ambition and satisfaction. The ones with a renegade sensibility, unwilling to settle for anything less than brilliant. So if the shoe fits…”

The photo was taken by The Selby and it is definitely worth having a look at the rest.

And I of course need the Verona Air T-Strap in Woodbury (Brown). It even has Nike Air technology. Holla!

The Selby is one of the websites I go to probably once a week. I have seen all the photos a few times, but I can still look at it over and over. There is something about seeing how other people live, that makes me feel at home.

These are just a few randoms I clicked on today. Not necessarily my favorites and in no particular order, here are a few randoms from The Selby.

















“The Selby is in Your Place.” The book will be out soon. Narry needs this. Please? I do not ask for much, but this is one of the top 5 items on my wishlist.

Every home needs a kitchen with a big sink and a big counter.

Every home needs a comfy seat and spot colors.

Every home needs a pup.

Spot the pup. Kill the clutter.

Every home needs light. Big windows and lots of natural light. Hello big kitchen window.

And according to Narry, everyone needs a home in Brooklyn.

Love.
