Teeny-Tiny Living

Four design students from Sundsvall have developed this clever solution for small space living. The Matroshka Furniture System includes a bookcase, double bed, sofa, dining table, stools, desk, a wardrobe, and can be compacted to only 4 meters.

Perfect for student housing, if only universities would catch on...

Rake Up Your Pearls

This old rake makes for excellent jewelry storage.... that said..... i am not sure whether i actually like the concept or am simply blinded by necklace envy....

Business Cards: Sorted

Love this!

Wish I had more business cards to sort.

Anyone have other ideas for this concept?...

Blog Lovin'

Oh! Em! Gee!

Two of my favorite blogs in the whole wide world have kindly posted a link to S|G on their sites.

For those that don't know about Desire to Inspire, be sure to pop over. Remember when you used to read about princesses and fairies, dreaming about what it would be like to live in a castle, well this blog is about as close to reliving that experience as you are going to get; a veritable storybook for adults.

For the three remaining people out there that haven't heard of Swiss Miss, you are missing out. A catalogue of amazing, beautiful, jealousy-inducing, smarty-pants, and cheeky things; i dare you not to add it to your favorites.... not possible.

Thanks again.

Sapien Bookcase

For when you get to the Way-Too-Cool-For-Horizontal-Book-Storage stage.

Impulsive Framing

Creative way to use old pant hangers.

Pop Bottle = Non-electric Lightbulb

ok, so the aesthetics leave a lot to be desired.... but my goodness this is clever.

(if you want to speed things up.... the amazing bit comes around 2:10)

* thanks for the tip Mo

Hampton Hammocks

Lovely way to highlight your hammock collection, cause everyone has to have a hammock collection nowadays.

Information Storage

I was lucky enough to receive an Oooms USB stick in a paperless press pack (whoo hoo free swag!!).

Each is individually selected for their unique qualities by Dutch forrest nymphs (ok, probably not).

No Need to Squeeze

Platzhalter expandable bookshelf by Berlin-based Farsen | Schöllhammer.

Perfect Potty

Profile Smart 305 by Caroma: Water from washed hands flushes the next use.

So simple and efficient.

Dream Toilet.

Bookshelf/Headboard

Moderately space-saving.

Eric Clough's 18 Clues

Hidden in the Klinsky-Sherry family's Fifth Avenue apartment is a stunningly sophisticated scavenger hunt created by architectural designer Eric Clough.

Makes my childhood mazes seem somewhat inadequate.

Branches Part Deux

On your next hike keep a look out for branches that look like shelves..... easy enough right?

Be sure not to rob some happy tree of an appendage, best to go late autumn after the dead branches have fallen.

branches part one

Dream Pantry

Colourful inspiration for the kitchen or pantry.

Smell Storage

ok, not entirely a storage solution, but i am most definitely excited to try this idea.... although maybe a mint tea over rooibos chai.... just a thought.

Chair/Screen

The Biombo Chair by Daniel Milchtein Peltsverger.

Clever idea, but makes me a wee bit nervous - most definitely for the under 100 lbs. set.

Sky Planter

Cheeky.

Designed by graduate student Patrick Morris of Central Saint Martins for Boskke.

But wait! won't the plants start growing upwards.... as they've done for millions of years?

Crate/End-table

Better-looking crate for the mildly pretentious pup in your life.

Tangle-Proof Headphones

Just great to see someone on the verge of making a whole lot of money. Then that selfish feeling of not having thought of it yourself sets in....

Meet the Sticklebook

Still not sure how i feel about this. Were shelves really that hard to manage before? Does this improve on anything?

Nope, but it sure looks neat. If you are in the market for an above-average place to store your David Beckham literature, this would work.

by way of. &. &.

UPDATE: added a zoom picture of the sticklebook to dispel magic-based rumors.

What About The Sap?

Bloomin' fantastic idea by Alain Berteau, but i can't help wonder about the 'when-sap-meets-my-expensive-sweater' problem.

Things That Make Me Go Oooooh

BREAKING NEWS: blackboard paint allegedly comes in white!

Are your crafty-senses tingling?

Martha Stewart shockingly mixes both black and white to create a very useful wall calendar.

Seletti Part Deux

Strikingly awesome - if i had to be a bookshelf, i'd be this one.

Storage To Go

Perfect on-the-go solution for the teeny tiny things in your life, obviously.
