While getting a dose of inspirational culture at Photoville in Brooklyn, I happened upon The Impossible Project's table featuring all their awesome film and accessories and the latest addition to the roster. The Instant Lab enables your Iphone (Android forthcoming) to convert ... read more
Some people sing, some people self gratify and I think while I am in the shower. Sometimes I am so immersed in my own thoughts that I actually forget to do the stuff that put me in the shower in the first place. Unfortunately, however brilliant or base these mental meanderings are, once the water is off my musings have gone down the drain. One ... read more
Perhaps pinterest should be to blame - I am consumed with the desire to trade in my reliable, albeit boring billy for a new quirkier bookcase. Being totally obsessed with need, everything I saw at the Brooklyn Flea had potential no matter how farfetched. If the price was right, the vintage soda pop in-store display would have been riding the ... read more

Maybe it's because I didn't have enough birthday cake on Friday or that I am waiting WAY too long for my food to be delivered, either way I have been salivating over the Martha Stewart's cake image gallery. This is probably counter productive for someone who wants to go sugar-free for the next few weeks. ... read more

These conference tables are located in quirky.com's NYC office designed by the architecture firm, Spector Group. Although I love the palette table base, ... read more
I found this can o' pumpkin stranded on the 'one man's trash is another man's treasure' shelf in the basement of my building. It was full & factory sealed at the time, but I was super obsessed with the one pie concept and the vintage graphics, so I had to take it. It remained in my cupboard until I needed to feed the puppy, Tater Tot a ... read more
I have been concocting this cal gel manicure for 2 years now, so it truly meets the requirement of an obsession regardless of the day. My manicurist Etsuko is a nail artiste. She is so dedicated to her craft that she even went to MOMA to study & photograph Jackson Pollack's paintings for visual reference. My little lacquered digits make me ... read more
