Here's a little old school domino on a Dime, though I've never seen one of these Water Mill Tables from Mecox Gardens in the mag: Love the X's but it's 950 bucks. Target takes away one X on the back and begs you to buy this Delano Small Bookcase for a tenth of the price: I bet...

[Ed. note: We don't usually cover much in the way of dude decor, but Shine reader Carolyn Clark found some great pieces to pick up for the style-challenged bachelor in your life. Check them out. Thanks, Carolyn!]

bachelor pads can be a struggle. often these "pads" are lacking cool décor and “expression” - sorry guys but you know it is true. i recently discovered resource revival and think that every bachelor needs to check out these green, green, green products! cool decoration + good for the planet = big win with the ladies.

Problem Solver of the Day: Touch-up paint dispenser

nospam@example.com (Valerie Rains, Shine staff) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 22:41:14 -0700

You know you've got one (or five)—the half-empty can of paint that's been stashed in the corner of the garage for so long that it's practically part of the architecture. The paint's probably gone bad by now, or the room you were saving it to touch up has since been painted another color. You couldn't get the lid off if you tried. The time has come to lose the paint can. If the contents are still good, pour them into a Rubbermaid Paint Buddy. It's both an airtight storage device and a touch-up tool, and it definitely takes up less space than a gallon can, making it easier to keep it near where you'd need it, rather than at the back of a cluttered supply shelf behind the motor oil and surplus bags of kitty litter.

Is it me, or is my house haunted?

The coffee cup isn't where you placed it. But you don't remeber moving it. Your children seem to be watching something that isn't there. Your family seems to be getting into stormy arguements in the home, but outside the house everyone is happy. You have the feeling that...

"Upon going through the mail, I immediately discard the catalogs I know I'm not interested in. Then I go through each catalog, dog-earing or sticky-noting each page I might order from. After finishing each catalog, I go to my rectangular catalog basket, where I keep all catalogs in alphabetical order."

cool bulldog clips

nospam@example.com (Jan, Poppytalk) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:16:07 -0700

We’ve always been fond of the bulldog clip, and a bulldog clip with a magnet, even more. So you know we totally flipped somersaults when we saw these clever little numbers (or letters) in our inbox this past week.

Designed by Bubbo, the bulldog clips and pins are made with real vintage typewriter keys, that come in a sweet little cardboard box and are beautifully packaged.

Do not underestimate the power of the sunflower

nospam@example.com (Ivette Soler, The Germinatrix, Domino Magazine) — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:40:17 -0700

I have been praising the wonders of the homegrown tomato for a while now, but there is another emblem of summer that has been stopping me in my tracks lately ... the simple sunflower. Again I have to come clean about my plant snobbery. Once I had my gardener's consciousness raised, I refused to...
