"ABC" kitchen-drawer organizer from Jasper Morrison
[Ed. note: Ah yes, the kitchen drawer organizer—a classic multi-tasker for creative neatniks everywhere. Some of its more popular, non-silverware uses: Storing jewelry, separating craft supplies, and keeping office detritus in check. What would you use it for?]
Jasper Morrison's kitchen-drawer organizer has a cheery, retro feel but was created in 1996.

Housewares designers of the future, as chosen by Fred Flare
By Valerie Rains, Shine staff, on Tue Jul 1, 2008 1:13pm PDTIt is certainly possible that if you are over the age of 16, you don't regularly peruse the Fred Flare site; I do. One thing I love about FF is the "Next Big Thing" contest they run every year, giving a handful of promising young designers a chance to sell their stuff on the site and hopefully get lots of good exposure. While the bulk of the stock is brightly colored accessories (basically adult toys—although not "adult" toys) like Snoopy toothbrush sets and Rubik's cube alarm clocks, there are a few less-silly housewares in the mix that could find a good home in a not-too-stiff setting.
Decoylab's "Trompe L'Oeil" cuckoo clock is just $25 and totally adorable.

What's your biggest home splurge?
By Valerie Rains, Shine staff, on Tue Jul 1, 2008 12:46pm PDTWhile, in all practicality, my next home splurge should be a really great, ergonomic desk chair, I just can't seem to get excited about that and will probably end up going for the least expensive (and least ugly) thing that looks like it has any back support at all, and save my rainy day money for something more like a vacation*. The truth is, I am bad at splurging. Like almost physically incapable of it. I envy the people who can buy the high(er)-end but well-constructed sofa they truly love and then fill the rest of the living room with cheapies from discount stores and flea markets. In my home, it's all cheapies. I know, I know, it's a recession now, no one needs to be splurging anyway, blah blah blah, but I'm still curious what other people will willfully ignore (or completely rearrange) their budgets in order to procure for their homes—fancy appliances? artwork? iconic furniture? high-thread-count sheets?

So you tell me: What's your biggest home splurge, and if it's a recurring expense, will that change if the economy stays stalled?
