I really like this new indoor modern playhouse from Cedarworks.  It has a bunch of star-shaped holes on the ceiling, and a full wall chalkboard as well. At $795 (plus shipping), its a lot more expensive than a cardboard box. But such is the price of style.

I have a really hard time throwing things away – especially some old t-shirt from camp in the 80′s that doesn’t fit and isn’t worth anything to anyone except for me. This is a good way to “upcycle” your old t-shirts into home furnishings. Am sure Carolynda isn’t the first to do this, but at around $20 per shirt for the quilt, its not a bad way to remember your t-shirts even if that 1980′s neon Mickey Mouse T doesn’t fit around your belly anymore.

At one point, I had enough t-shirts to make quilts for an entire army. Then facing the ever increasing demands on space, a friend of mine showed me their “T-Shirt” album. They took pictures of the t-shirts that they never wore, but wanted to remember.  My wife keeps a separate folder for this pictures and calls is “Chad’s Nostalgia Picks.” (Thanks Ellen)

The folks at smaller magazine posted about carpetzz.com, a German based company that makes custom carpets (any shape, any size) out of your own designs. They ship worldwide, so they are available in the US.

At 150 Euro per square meter, plus shipping, probably not the least expensive carpeting option. Still, a cool idea.

These triceratops, diplodocus, and t-rex lamp covers cost $20 each. Made out of plastic pieces that easily slot together. Yes, please.

This is a great concept. And, if it goes into production, would be a useful nightlight on a time. And they have cool colors.
