8-bit mural

For the video game nerds who decide to start families, Blik and Nintendo offer a wall graphics pack with familiar scenes for the modern kid's room. $75 for 36 reusable wall decals. And, yes, it comes in Donkey Kong too.

well hung

What was this company thinking when they made this? I don't know if I could hang something on these without getting goosebumps. It actually says "Hug Me" at the top of the package!

babe in the city

Multifunctional chair concept. Sleek, modern design. Looks like a cured pig.
As cool of an idea this is for furniture, I can't help but think of pork. A stack of Bologna, Chinese BBQ pork, a Luau pig sans the apple...

worry-free pet

For those of you who love the idea of having a pet but in reality can barely take care of yourself on a daily basis: Koi Toy light up plastic goldfish with LED and 40 hour battery will float and look fairly realistic from across the room...until it starts glowing color-changing light. $11 from ZGallerie.

the "T" is for towel

The other day I was thinking my home lacked a certain...something. Now I know what it is; I don't own any towels with mod art prints of Mr. T! I am surely the fool to pity.

one sharp-looking mobile

A new addition to the Sadistic Nursery Collection. I could see this scissor-mobile going nicely with the Mad Max crib. Yikes. (see 'beyond the thunderdome')

'on the pot' robot

Robotan toilet paper holder by Airyusha made from ceramic $39. Feeds out all kinds of toilet paper. All kinds. Airyusha was established in 1950 and continues to be a leader in making some of the most creative lifestyle products available.

alternative yawn in 3-D

These wall tiles would make a sleepy addition to any bedroom as they pretty much make you yawn at first sight. About 4" square and they come complete with a creepy little nose ring. $32 each from SusanKniffinDavidson.

beyond the thunderdome

WTF? This baby rocker looks more like a leftover prop from a Mad Max movie. Or maybe it's from the set of Waterworld and was used to gently lull Kevin Costner's ego into being humble. I just can't get passed the idea of a dangerously sharp blade mobile dangling above the baby's face.

gosh, these soaps are handy!

Yeah, they're really soaps. Creepy little baby doll hand soaps. They're made out of glycerin and Goat's milk and are about 1/2"- 2" in size. I like that they are multiculturally pigmented... and cheap. I think hand soaps are usually overpriced just like soup, but these little buggers will run you around $20 for about 10 of them. The best part is that no matter where you put them they look creepy and out of place. Check the link for Vitamin D(esign) if you dig.
