I found a list on the internet that associates different scents with moods or psychological states. Studies reveal that a specific scent can unleash or encourage a corresponding psychological state. The science that makes these studies is called aromachology. It has nothing to do with aroma therapy, because it doesn't ...

Coffee in a briefcase

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 314 Views

More precisely, coffee TABLE in a briefcase. Remember The Jetsons, where George's car packs up into a briefcase, as he enters his workplace? This little coffee table from Tiny Living does the exact same trick. Take it out, open it up, unfold a neat little coffee table, right in front ...

Sleep in the stoneage

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 410 Views

Ever heard the expression "sleeping on rocks"? It's not exactly used after a good night sleep. In fact, I think it's quite the opposite. Obviously, someone came up with the idea to change the meaning of the expression, in such a manner that he or she actually designed a comfy ...

Come in…

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007 602 Views

Probably not a revolution in the industry but a great idea nonetheless. We've seen the traditional doorbell, tubular bells, birds singing, tune singing doorbells and a lot of kitsches, but this idea is totally new. Your guests are welcomed with a toast, provided by the ringing of these wineglasses, a ...

A different view

We're all familiar with the classical Earth Globes that come in various styles and sizes. They look good as decorations in our bedrooms or living rooms but are they getting outdated? Well, the StarSphere from World's Globe says YES. It shows us the world from another perspective. When you look ...

Clocky, the wicked alarm clock

A few days ago I wrote about an alarm clock that had a rotor that flew around the room when the alarm went off. The only way to put it back to snooze was to catch the flying devil and place it back to its place. This time, our little ...

Moving? No problem!

Usually, moving into a new home is not an easy task. An even harder one is moving out of the old one. Why? Well, you have to pack, for one. Let's remember our last vacation, when we had to pack our bags. Moving is fairly similar only on a larger ...

DIY Mini Lamps

Looking for some design ideas, I found something really extraordinary. It's Mark McKenna’s DIY (do-it-yourself) package to design battery lights. The kit contains a series of flat pieces, which you need to assemble. Then, you hook them up to a 9-volt battery, which should be the light source. There ...

Funny doormat

Monday, May 21st, 2007 622 Views

This little creep made me laugh half an hour when I came upon it. It's a doormat with a subliminal message. Well not really subliminal. Just put it on your doorstep with the "Come in" part showing to the visitors. They'll come, see the doormat, think "Aah, what a cute ...
