Domino Magazine has officially gone under.

I can't believe it. It's probably the most popular shelter magazine out there.

“This decision to cease publication of the magazine and its website is
driven entirely by the economy,” Mr. Townsend said. “Although
readership and advertising response was encouraging in the early years,
we have concluded that this economic market will not support our
business expectations.”

I'm a sucker for all things anthropomorphic. Thus, I can't help but post these adorable be-hatted beasties from Poor Dog Farm.

The tiny 2"x5" artist-signed prints are just $5 a pop.

Rat in hat, $5
Chickadee in hat, $5

My guess is that we all have photos laying around that we hate, were taken accidentally, were blurry, or otherwise aren't good. So, why let them lay around? Use this tutorial to upcycle them to something else.

What you could do with these is really quite limitless. You could turn them into greeting cards, or book covers, or you could frame them. Who knows where your imagination will go? Thanks to Pixie for the tutorial.

Artists Benoit Deseille and Benedetto Bufalino transformed this phone booth in Lyon, France into an aquarium.

What a bizarre but wonderful sight this must be. Especially if you really, really need to make a call. Which let's hope no one tries to do.

The art piece was created as a part of the Lyon Light Festival.

This, my friends, is a picture of my $200 rug. Sadly, we don't get to see a picture of Merrill Lynch CEO's $87,000 rug. If you're buying a rug that costs that much while your company's going under, that had better be one heck of a rug.

I've seen a few examples of photo-frame decals, but this is the first version to declare itself "re-stickalble".

The package of 8 designs sells for just $20 and the photo openings range from 4"x4" to 8"x10".

Here is a peek at the new KleinReid 'Applied' collection of lidded bowls, vases, catch-alls and design 'objet'.

I'm particularly fond of the porcelain keys and book bookends. The keys might be really pretty hanging on the wall or even in a grouping hung from the ceiling.

They'll all be on display at this NY gift fair and range in price from $25-$130.

Here's an amazing, space-saving solution for your over-flowing book collection.

This staircase is actually made of bookshelves. Even the spaces under the stairs.

Love stairs? Yeah, me too. I had no idea, however, that there was a blog devoted entirely to stairs. It's called, naturally, StairPorn, and it's fabulous. Go check it out for yourself- there are some really amazing stairs on there!
