On The Rocks

Check out these stone ice cubes made of Nordic Rock.  Nordic rock is mined from ancient Swedish pollution-free base rock.  It is supposedly the purest way of cooling your drink because stones don’t melt which means your beverage wont get diluted with potentially unclean water.  Dont you agree they look pretty hardcore… although eerily similar to a [...]

Lust For – IV

My forth installment of “Lust For”.
If my apartment wasn’t carpeted I would definately get one of these Trompe L’Oeil Floor Mats from Urban Outfitters.  They are photorealistic reproductions of wood (or stone, but I don’t like those as much) printed on a tough micro-woven rug.  Imagine how cool these would look in a mud room!

That brings me to [...]

(ATE) All Things English

This is my first installment of ATE – new, super cool things that I have discovered in or from England…  
David Austin Roses
In general roses seem a little creepy to me.  They remind me of my Nana who grew them (or rather had her gardeners keep them up) in her front yard… and they just seemed so [...]
