Delta Bed... a telescopic one!

This is innovation ladies & gentlemen!  The Delta Bed is a design by Nicola From Bern.  The fantastic thing about it is that you can use it at the size that you need, because is telescopic.  Yes! pull it from a side, and it will grow!.  I wish to have pictures of the product with pillows and everything, but anyway you can watch how this bed works here.  Delta bed is made up of fiberglass reinforced plastic tubes.

Great!   Very simple and modern... Let's forget about a big truck in our next home move.

Heavenly Match

I love peanut butter & jelly time and I love lazing around on the couch! Now I can give homage to my favorite food while napping on the couch without making a mess. I've tried to nap with an actual peanut butter & jelly sandwich and trust me... these are waaaay better than the real thing.

Two Pillow set includes one slice of Creamy Peanut Butter and one slice of Grape Jelly, each on White Bread.

Getting them for that perfect couple that's just made for each other too? For an additional $10 I can hand embroider a name on each of the top crust bread slices. Check out the last photo to see an example. To add this just complete checkout and payment and note it in the "Message to the Seller" along with the names and I'll send you a paypal invoice for the $10 embroidery fee.

Made from Eco-Felt (100% recycled Plastic bottles!) Each Pillow measures 16" Tall by 15" wide (41cm x 29cm). Machine wash cold with like colors then tumble dry on low.

The condiments featured are completely hand drawn so please allow for minor differences from the pillow pictured. But hey, that's the magic of handmade!

Gothic Grunge + Modern Bohemian ~ Home Fashion

When it comes to street fashion of home decor ~ Love Anna James.

For the Eclectic Modern Lifestyle, you can't forego ~ Grunge: the dark side of bohemian life. After posting her "grunge wares" on Urban LifeStyle Decor, a fan frenzy began and people now know why I "Love Anna James." From London street fashion to Romeo + Juliet, Anna James receives her inspiration from the graffiti found on the archway entrance of Juliet's home in Verona, Italy. Working out of a studio in South East London, she transforms 20th century antiques into art-filled, one-of-a-kind, hand-painted ~ treasures.

Like the Verona Boudoir Chest from Love Anna James {pictured above} each piece is fully restored and etched with random declarations of love + other unrequited scribblings from around the world. Like her art, Anna remains a mystery, but her urban inspired graffiti paints a picture of a true avant-garde furniture + decor designer.

Anna goes Modern Bohemian with this ultra fab Genoa Table.

Modern Parallel Lines ~ A feast for the modern eye.

Imperfection 6 ~ Graffiti Grunge Meets the Modern of Black-&-White by Jimmie Martin.

Living in London ~ home decor fashion takes on the grunge goodness of chic design and avant-garde textiles. Let your inner bohemian free to re-cover existing frames with artist canvas and express an eclectic nature of decor by painting your own designs, or purchase custom hand-painted chairs & settees. Either way, you bring new life to any city dweller's loft or London pad.

"There is a rare consistency of sophisticated pieces combined with a sexy, modern design element." ~ about Jimmie Martin Designs.

Gothic Grunge Modern with a Touch of Glam: starts with black painted case pieces adorned with haunted chandeliers, and French ornate, white painted boudoir armories with splashes of grunge graffiti.

Who is Jimmie? Across Europe and now here in the states, what more could you want in home fashion than UK designer ~ Jimmie Martin.

Uhuru: the über cool of urban organic. One of the most unique design + build furniture companies on the planet. Founded in 2004 by Bill Hilgendorf and Jason Horvath.

Aside from being totally laid back & urber cool, these guys live & breathe urban organic. From their Red Hook, Brooklyn studio, this furniture company creates utilitarian designs out of just about anything: reclaimed pine from demolished NYC buildings, old bicycle rims, recycled steel and other "such attractive waste."

Another reason to love Uhuru: they are truly devoted to sustainability issues.

"For us sustainability is about choosing materials with the least amount of environmental impact, whether it is what they are made of, how they are produced or where they come from, and using them in a way where little to no waste is created."

The Bilge Lounge Chair is crafted by using reclaimed bourbon barrel staves from Kentucky and used truck springs. This chair is ~ true green.

The Slab Dining Table is handcrafted from large wood slabs of English Elm from sustainably harvested trees, ~ no two are alike and they keep plenty of slabs in stock for custom orders. Check out this eco-friendly bunch at www.uhurudesign.com.

This low-profile Slab Bed, from another one of my Brooklyn favs, is the perfect fit for any urban loft. Hand-crafted from domestic White Ash, this bed is shown in their popular Live Edge Claro Walnut, hand-rubbed, oil finish. Feel free to stop by the studio to pay Mr. Tyler Hays a visit or check out his other innovative, woody designs at www.bddw.com.

A Little to the Left

What happens when you combine an Italian dancer-turned-sculptor, a chunk of iron and some a few ominous angles?

PioPio! This quirky little collection has been created for Diamantini & Domeniconi by multitalented Milan-based designer Antonino Sciortino. Both the bookshelves and the bedside/coffee tables slant precariously in all directions, giving the sense that the iron creations have somehow been captured in the midst of movement...sneaking away for a midnight rendevous perhaps?

the {pure modern} lifestyle

"Douglas House" by Richard Meier & Partners Architects LLP

The Pure Modern Lifestyle begins with the long drive home and ends with the serenity of a hillside oasis. Open space + pure white define the laid-back lifestyle of "Less is the New More." There is something to be said for the absence of rich color or bold prints and in today's overly connected Blackberry world, who isn't on the search for the simple pure beauty of ~ white. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy a few moments of pure bliss + pure modern home interiors.

The Darker Side of Pure...

Pure modern functionality from Erba Italia offers simple forms to compliment any open space or modern dwelling. One of the modern masters, Giovanni Erba, who has been on the cutting edge of modern design in Italy since 1954, makes it hard not to envy the pure lifestyle.

The lighter side of pure...

Pure modern ~ is what you will get from this premier Italian furniture maker.
