Knowing my ongoing obsession with Scrabble (and no, I do not mean Scrabulous, which is completely different and inferior!), a sweet friend sent me the link to Los Angeles designer/artist Clare Graham's amazing Scrabble tile- and board-based constructions. (Graham also dabbles in collecting and stacking up and gluing together buttons, bottle caps, yardsticks, and paint-by-numbers art, which I happen to love and a lot of you happen to hate.) If you have a few minutes you were planning on procrastinating through anyway, spend them clicking through Graham's site—it's like a museum of childhood detritus-turned-sculpture, and some of the pieces will really surprise you if you let them.

You don't know how handy a good side table is until you're living without one. As a new-apartment dweller, I have reached dire straights when it comes to the stuff I have knocked over and spilled because I don't have a great little table to place my cold drink or my stack of magazines.

Had he not already had a side table, I would have gotten this for my son's nautically inspired room. It would also be chic in my tasting room...if I had a tasting room. I feel like writing about the reuse of wine barrels could be a little cliche, but if you like slightly rustic wood, this could be just the table you are searching for. After a couple years doing its job of imparting complexities unto fermenting grapes, these barrels generally find themselves tossed in landfills. This side table, handmade in Georgia, is a great example of finding a creative way to get the most out of something valuable - oak. What results is a well-crafted, salvage piece that honors the curvature of its predecessor Read More »
