[LINKED] Details' Sports-Inspired Design

This month's Details magazine features a spread on "How to score a sports-inspired design."

This article is great because most "sports-inspired design" involves dart boards, Yankees memorabilia, and everything else that is relegated to man caves because it's hideous and should be hidden from view.

From gymnastic benches that double as clever seating alternatives to cabinets made out of old basketball court floors, this stuff is way better than that New York Knicks light up sign.  

Promise.

[I'M OBSESSED] Filthy Home

There's a new design company in town, and it's a little nasty. 

The dirty mind behind Filthy Home is former Playboy designer Ryan Cox whose career highlights featured in his bio include that he "Tried to make out with girls but always wished they were boys from 1994-1997." 

Based out of Brooklyn, the shop offers hilarious wallpaper that looks chic and beautiful from far away.  When you get close, you see dicks, vaginas, and swear words. 

It's like a Picasso, but not.

Photos after the jump.

[RECAP] Million Dollar Decorators: Episode 4

Last week, Martyn taught a bunch of Mexicans how to clean a home the proper way for a sex tycoon, Jeffrey redid a gym bathroom, setting the perfect stage for a high-quality gay porn, and Kathryn launched her own spin-off: Hoarders: The Rich Nutcase Edition.

This week, we find out that Jimmy Choo is not run by a gay Asian man (or, a "Gaysian"), Mary doesn't listen to her client again, Jeffrey plans a birthday party, and Kathryn continues to plug her Hoarders spin-off.

[RECAP] Million Dollar Decorators: Episode 3

Last week, we were thrown right back into the "drama," where some rich ladies didn't like stuff and Martyn and Kathryn got drunk.

This week, Martyn is redoing the Girls Gone Wild scumbag's $30 million mansion in Mexico (where sex crime laws are more lax, no doubt), Kathryn is dealing with a rich packrat, Jeffrey redoes his gym's bathroom, Mary dicks around, and Nathan goes missing.

[RECAP] Million Dollar Decorators: Episode 2

Last week, we met the five crazies that we will be following around for the remainder of the season while they drop hundreds of thousands of dollars on stupid shit like side tables and gold-leaf covered antler chandeliers.

This week, we were thrown right back into the "drama," where some rich lady doesn't like Jeffrey's design, some rich lady is upset about antique tiles, and Martyn and Kathryn get drunk.

Anyone sensing a theme here?
