[I'M OBSESSED] Case Furniture

A fun/terrible thing to do to yourself is to look at products that you love that you could never afford in a million billion years.

It's like when people with eating disorders put up pictures of really gaunt movie stars next to their mirrors.

"Thinspiration," they call it.

Well, true story: nothing motivates me to work harder and make more money than a nicely made piece of furniture.

I want it!  I've gotta have it! 

I need 10,000 more dollars than I have in order to get it!

Case Furniture is my "thinspiration."

[COOL SHIT] Danish Candlesticks from Canvas Vintage

It's the unavoidable moment when you're in CVS and you end up spending $20 on candles that you realize, "Oh, fuck, I'm turning into my mother."

This was the woman who would drag me into Yankee Candle when I was an angry teenager and peruse the aisles while I would stand there and nearly pass out from the clashing smells.

"They discontinued Banana Nut Muffin," she'd say.

"CAN WE GO NOW?" I'd ask. 

I was in a hurry to get to Old Navy to buy those ill-fitting, sparkly tank tops that look good on no one. 

I didn't get why people would go [Lady] gaga over some stupid candles.

I get it now.  And these Danish candlesicks? I want, I want, I want.

[CATALOGGED] CB2's Spring 2011 Collection

CB2's Spring catalog is out and oddly enough, they're selling bikes now?

I don't quite understand, and if I were to buy a bike, it would be from a bike shop, not from a store that sells those creepy side plates with the little stick figure monsters eating things.

If you're going into a homegoods store to purchase something that requires you wear a helmet, rethink your life choices.

Regardless of this bike nonsense, they do have some nice new pieces to check out.

[DESIGN WTF] Tiny, Tiny Apartments

So there's this video where a woman lives in a 90-square-foot apartment. 

Let's face it. 

Only an asshole writer or artist would think that paying $700 a month to live in an apartment the size of a handicapped bathroom stall is totally fine.

[COOL SHIT] Shop Relish

Yo, I guess I need to get out to Portland at some point.

After discovering Canoe and all of their cool shit, I stumbled on Shop Relish, which is also based out of Oregon. 

Good news is that you can order everything online, which is great for shut-ins like me. 

Let's check their shit out.
