Love this ‘A’ stool, would be perfect for my studio, and it would feel very home with my collection of letters. From ByAlex – it comes flat packed (beautifully flat packed) but I’m not sure they ship to the US yet (but hopefully soon?)

I have a crush on a blog (is that cheating?). Although I don’t live in a big city at the moment, I am (and always will be) a big city girl so I still love clever furniture that works in small spaces. ShoeBox Dwelling “talks about simplicity, space-saving, efficiency and beauty of human thought behind the objects” like the ‘murphy table’ above – I think Natalia Repolovsky and I would be good friends (at least I like to imagine cool people like that would be friends with me- don’t disillusion me). If you are lucky enough to live in a city where apartments are small or just love clever design and cool blogs go and visit.

So it looks like we are running with a table theme today. This is very clever and looks like you could make your own version (if you are clever like that) From IvyDesign.

I love furniture that does more than one thing and looks incredibly beautiful while doing those things. This wins on both counts, simple, beautiful, and incredibly practical. From Ozzio Design (site in Italian). I will be dreaming about this for a while.

While we are talking about clever Furniture – I think I’m in love with these oversize letters that double as storage.. I can think of so many uses for them… from set 26

I’m a huge fan of multi-functional furniture, no wait – I’m a huge fan of beautifully designed multifunctional furniture. Coming from someone who used a ping-pong table as their dining table for many years I would love this in my house (and it would be perfect for a cool company). From Fusion Tables.

Polaroids aren’t going anywhere anytime soon – I’m still in love with them and I may need this in my house, my studio (and everywhere else I go).
The polarboy is a light (by night) and a frame (by day), and they can also make your own image into the right format.

I wonder if I have any creative friends that can build me one?

This is my vanity table where I get ready every morning. The message helps me remember not to say mean things to myself about the way I look. It sets me up for a good day of meeting beautiful people.
Yes, I do stick letters on anything – most of them peel-off well and you can change them (with a bit of help from goo-gone or something similar). I like to be reminded of things for the days I don’t feel that way naturally.

By now you know I love things you can write on, and these cushions seem incredibly cool. (I know about 1000 teenagers who would love them too) – they are from GNR8* (along with lots of other cool stuff) – You write on them and then rinse it off with cold water, and write on them again. They tell me that the writing doesn’t rub off onto your face but I wouldn’t want to drool too much. I can suddenly think of so much I would like to write on a cushion…. hmmm… I wonder if I could write messages to the dogs to stay off the sofa – now to find out how to teach my dogs to read!

Coming from London, where small space living is a necessary art, I love things that fold away so these caught my eye. Designed by Naihan Li and showcased at Beijing design week. this furniture comes in it’s own packing crates – I think I would like all the components in a giant loft so that I could fold them all away and just have an empty space with some crates around to work in. (yes I’m a dreamer)

The thing that people ask the most questions about in my studio is The Idea Table, so I thought it was time to share.
It started off as a cheap Ikea table (you know the one), we added some paper cut to fit the top… and The Idea Table was born (or at least created). Luckily my husband works at a printer and he cut and glued the paper there, but if you can get someone to cut it, it’s fairly easy to use white school glue and tissue paper to create the stuck edge. We used strong double sided tape to stick it down. It’s great for kids and adults alike, no one can resist writing on it. With this and our blackboard table we have writing surfaces everywhere. Many fun ideas started at this table…
UPDATE: Thank you to Alan Henry over at Lifehacker.com for blowing my blog up by posting this! – you rock!
UPDATE 2: Thank you to the Real Simple blog for featuring the idea table, and welcome to all of you who have come from there, stay awhile, leave a comment, sign up for the rss feed, have a cup of tea…
