Sleepy Robot
If you haven't seen the Sleepy Robot shop on Etsy, I definitely think you should. Sitting about 2" high, this sleepy little robot makes the perfect desk companion, or a sweet kitchen tchotchke to keep your coffee maker company. The artist who creates these little guys also makes a number of other characters, including bacon head boy, toast, and a variety of others. Sleepy robot is my favorite by a long shot, though. Here are some of my personal picks – but get yours fast; each is a one-of-a-kind handmade creation:
New furniture from IKEA
Okay, I admit it. I'm a sucker for all things IKEA, which means I visit the site all too frequently to plot my next purchase. We recently got a new TV stand which, with its adjustable shelf height and open design, might fit our needs a little better right now. That said, I love the Hemnes line, and this new piece is no exception. Though our primary palate is red and black-brown when it comes to IKEA, we have a lot of dark brown in our house. Nothing goes more beautifully with dark brown, in my opinion, than a soft blue, like the solid pine 8-drawer dresser comes in.
It just looks like a classic piece, doesn't it? And no fiber board for this bad boy – its solid construction makes it feel like a classic piece, too. But hey, don't take my word for it. Check out the people on flickr who love their Hemnes chest of drawers as much as I do. I could rave about IKEA all day, though, so instead, I turn it over to comments. If you're an IKEA fan, what's your favorite piece?
