Dude I checked all three sites not 15 minutes ago and no new articles and suddenly facebook alerts me to a new post.
That toaster is ridiculously awesome and I love the idea of the dishwasher-as-a-snack-cupboard. And the nerdy needlepoint. All awesome.

Edited to add: I see kitty paws above the snack cupboard!

Love the pencil collection. So colorful.

I’ve seen photos where people use paint chip samples as art. I love that sort of thing. Little colorful things that add up to a big thing when you group it all together purposefully.
