Stratton Platform Bed with Underneath Storage from Pottery Barn

Having a bed with storage drawers underneath the mattress provides a great place to store extra sheets, pillows, and other items that would be found in a linen closet. For smaller spaces I like the effect since you may not have extra storage space for extra linens and blankets. The Stratton Platform bed from Pottery Barn is manufactured as you would expect from great wood providing for a high degree of furniture quality. Like most beds on the market a king, queen, full, or twin mattress can be accommodated on the wooden frame. I like the fact that you can choose a version with or without a headboard. I think that without a headboard, you certainly get a different overall look. Price: $1,599 - $1,699. Available: here.

blink cabinets by douglas homertags: livingroom, miscellanea

SIMILAR TO THE PLASTIC RULERS for children that change images based on viewing angle, Blink d furnitures feature uniquely colored acrylic Transitions panels with alternating colors and panels. Designer Douglas Homer created Blink with interactivity in mind, as they are best enjoyed when physically moving about the piece. Our favorite theme is the festive Tutti Frutti (see the last picture) which is predominantly warm in tone but Occasionally “blinks” cool shades such as blue and d furniture Popularity: 4% [?]

The Supratherm radiator is available in many different sizes and can be placed on the floor or mounted on the wall. The most interesting part is that you have the choice to pick out different themes for it in order to match the interiors.

william & mary chairstags: kitchen/dining

A HUSBAND & WIFE TEAM, Bryce and Kerry Moore have created a stylish collection honoring another remarkable duo: that of joint 17th century British sovereigns William & Mary. Each chair features front legs that are influenced by the design of that period, although a number of other details are simultaneously at work: note the layered Baltic birch plywood construction, the single stripe of hardwood, and the quaint blend of traditional elements and minimalist design. $585-$1,078, d furniture Popularity: 4% [?]

Boiled Leather Stools - Simon Hasan

Medieval knights and soldiers once wore boiled leather or cuir bouilli armor. Thick leather was boiled in water,oil or wax. The treated leather remained soft enough for it to be molded into various shapes. The hardened leather with a wood-like consistency provided some protection against bludgeoning blows. It was used as scale armour or in cuisses or greaves - thigh and shin guards. Well, today we have far nastier and efficient ways of killing so boiled leather armor only exists in medieval reenactments and museums. But the art of boiled leather has now been cleverly applied for more peaceful purposes by Simon Hasan, an industrial designer. He produced a range of boiled leather products for a recent Royal College of Art Show held in London, England. He made two boiled leather stools called Bambi and Twist. The boiled leather seat of Bambi is hollow and was made from a single piece of leather. It does have a deer-like look about it hence the name. Twist was created by molding the boiled leather around tubes which were later removed. Twist is thus self-supporting and only contains a ring frame in the seat. He also made several different kinds of vases combining boiled leather with other materials such as resin and acrylic. Molds are used to shape the leather and later removed. - Via

Glass Tumblers by Eva Solo

The Eva Solo glass tumblers pictured here are a steady compliment for any kitchen, dining, or Living Room. This styling takes its inspirations from "pub glasses" that are commonly found serving up pints of ale in pubs in Ireland or Great Britain. The shape of the glass where the diameter increases as it approaches the rim is surprisingly efficient, making drinking any form of liquid very easy. I like these tumblers for their design flexibility as they can work with almost any decorating pattern. Price: "small set of 6" or "large set of 4" - $36. Available: here.

A Stylish Cooker Hood from Elica OM

When is a cooker hood not a cooker hood?  When it is an Elica OM. The sleek Italian design bears no resemblance to the typical extractor fan models.  It looks like a wall mounted flat panel TV or even a funky piece of art! The fan itself is located in the round part which can be pushed in when it is not in use to maintain a flush appearance. The Elica Om is not just stylish and Beverly Hills: Trend / Leather Sofa Setsy but works quietly and efficiently. It “features Perimeter Aspiration, which directs the airflow across the entire surface of the hood, thus increasing the effective extraction area.“ That’s a good thing.  Garlic-rich smells from your latest culinary endeavor should definitely make it outside via this cooker hood.  It comes in stainless steel or black and is available from John Lewis for £999. - Via
