Check out the Cleo Wall Mirror with Photo Openings

“A wall mirror is a one of those unpleasant necessities (you know, like your man’s Kill Bill poster, or the dog’s bed) that you have to have but that doesn’t exactly enhance your decor. Luckily, the Cleo Wall Mirror with Photo Openings ($150) changes all that. Hang it vertically or horizontally, the large mirror holds ten photos in 4×4 and 4×6 ranges. But as for his heinous poster—we got nothin’ for you”

Advances in Green Energy!!

“This week Rem Koolhaas’ Office for Metropolitan Architecture announced plans for an incredible array of oceanic wind farms that may one day produce as much energy as the Persian Gulf. Dubbed Zeekracht (sea power), the masterplan comprises a massive ring of wind farms centered around the Netherlands that spans seven adjacent countries. By calling for such a large network of communal infrastructure and knowledge, the plan takes a giant step towards ensuring European energy independency by 2025.” (Source - Inhabitat)

Bodum So Long Stemless Red Wine Glasses (Set of 2), $9.95

I’ve noticed lately that some of my favorite restaurants are serving wine in stemless glasses, which are not only stylish but also extremely practical since there’s less chance for spillage or breakage sans stem. I recently bought a set of these no fuss glasses for my own home, and I’m loving them. I’ve had them for a whole month, and I haven’t broken a single one, which is a record for me. They also can be trusted to the dishwasher, so they’re good for day-to-day.

Save your stems for special occasions.
