Cubby Organizer Keeps Your Gadgets at Eye Level
If keeping your gadgets down low on a table isn't your thing, why not consider using one of these cubby organizers ($31.50).
This wall-mounted wood organizer includes separate compartments for your mail, keys, sunglasses, and gadgets, as well as hooks down below for hanging your jacket. Now if only it had a way to charge your gadgets while they sit there looking so pretty!
Guess What This Product Is?
This sleek and shiny product could be many things. But like many other things, it's becoming obsolete thanks to email. Can you guess what it is?
Desire/Acquire: Pillar Umbrella Stand
This Aaron Thomas Hand Screen Printed Pillar Umbrella Stand ($389) was designed specifically for design fiend and international hotshot Kanye West. But, after Thomas carefully hand-illustrated the Roman-style pillar, burnt screens, and laid out the design, West ended up not purchasing them! It's made of acrylic and measures 10x 24 inches.
Umbra Charging Station From Target: Fancy At a Great Price
Have you checked out the Umbra Loft line at your local Target? It's like their younger, hipper home decor stuff at decent prices — and they didn't forget home tech, either.
Their Charging Valet Studio has a modern Victorian look, with ornate curves on a black MDF box for your power strip and cords.
Love It or Hate It? Umbra U+ Collection Balloona Stool
The Umbra U+ Collection Balloona Stool ($200) might be a clown's dream furniture, but just because you can wrap a stool in deflated balloons, doesn't mean you should. On the other hand, it's got that contemporary art thing going, and has a very unexpected look. What do you think?
Nice and New: Umbra U+ Collection Photo Clock
If my job is any indication, I'm not exactly a numbers person. But, paint-by-numbers? That's another story.
Kiddie Soirée: Displaying That Baby Face
One of the best ways to add some flair to a baby shower or a baby's birthday party is to print out some pictures of the guest of honor and display them. For a baby shower, take baby pictures of the expectant couple and make photo copies of the originals. For a kid's birthday party, find the tot's best shots and do the same.
Good, Better, Best: Magazine Rack Coffee Tables
It's always nice to have a 2-in-1. Shampoo+Conditioner. Boyfriend/Roommate.
Nice and New: Umbra Illuzine Magazine Rack
Umbra already wowed me with its Conceal Book Shelf ($10.50) and Conceal Towel Shelf ($18), which make things appear to float in mid-air. Now, the company is appealing to one of my major obsessions — magazines — with its newest product.
The Illuzine Magazine Rack ($31.50), designed by Satina Turner, is equipped with metal rungs for hanging magazines.
Crave Worthy: Umbra Biblioteca Bookshelf
I love the slightly surreal effect of this Umbra Biblioteca Bookshelf ($525), which was designed by Matt Carr and goes on sale next month. The designer came up with the idea for the piece after finding two vintage coffee tables and using them to make a similar shelf for his own house. I love the something-from-something-else look, and as Happy Mundane points out, a crafty type could make a similar shelf the DIY way.
