Swoop - Storage Bag & Play Mat-in-One
As seen on Realsimple.com and in Parenting Magazine.
Now when play is done, even the kids can clean up in a flash. Yes, clean-up has never been so easy...it's IN THE BAG. Just grab the nylon cords and "SWOOP" up all those blocks, legos, plastic dinosauers, and other tiny play pieces from the day's activities into this storage bag and play surface all- in-one. Toss it in a corner, hide in a closet, or hang it on a hook till the toy story continues the next day. It's a brilliant way to minimize toy sprawl. Based on a design for a storage bag passed down from an inventive grandmother, this modern version is constructed of strong cotton canvas allowing it to open almost flat to multi-task as a great play mat. Measures 44 inches in diameter. Machine washable. Available in Hot Pink (not shown), Lime (not shown), Orange and Turquoise (not shown).
{$48 each}
Maybe your kids will enjoy picking up after themselves now?! HA!

‘Confessions Of A Designer’, What Goes On In A Designer's Mind
London-based designer
Anneke Short has come up a series of minimalist posters that are out to challenge the preconceptions that people have of designers.
‘Confessions of a Designer’, is a collection of quotes that Short has “either found [herself] thinking or that [she has] heard [her] designer friends say, often on more than one occasion”.
Blatantly honest and comical, they portray the frustration and realities that designers often face.
{one of my faves}
Looking forward to adorning my walls with one of these witty posters!

Three ways to get high-quality home-theater sound...
with some speakers so discreet, they're barely noticeable.
Sound bars, which sit just in front of or below your screen, provide amazing sound quality by projecting audio in multiple directions, replicating the sound of several speakers... without black boxes everywhere you look.
Instead of having a set of speakers throughput the room, mount these slender columns on the wall or ceiling. They come with a grille and can be ordered in any of seven finishes to help them blend in.
