Plaksels is a Netherlands-based company whose fresh wall decal designs are just what our tired eyes needed to see right about now. We can picture this flurry of snowflakes looking beautiful on any col...
In an ideal universe, we'd all have hours of free time to make our own banners. But let's be honest: the holidays are upon us and free time is in short supply. If you've ever coveted any of the many b...
Our Kids' Color Contest may be winding down, but we're still revved up about color. These adorable personalized prints from Penny People Designs provide just the right bold pop of color along with cut...
Like Sam, the designer behind the Etsy shop Inklore, we've always resorted to assorted bags of frozen produce to ease bumps and bruises. Each time we find ourselves wrapping (badly) a dish towel aroun...

It's log, it's log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood. It's log, it's log, it's better than bad, it's good! Er, pardon our lapse into our own Ren and Stimpy juvenalia, but when we saw this wool pillow...
