I am not sure about the weather where you are, but here the sun is out! It’s still cold, and the weather people are talking of a pending winter week, but for now it almost feels like spring. So time for some summer inspiration: summer cottages!

Yep, you read it right, a pillow OF your pet…I am not sure what to think of these custom pillows by Borderpress. Some look cute, some downright creepy. But it’s like with stuffing your beloved Fifi after she dies. Some people take great comfort in it. Personally, after our little Lola moves on the greener pastures, I’d rather not be reminded of her passing by seeing her stare back at me from the sofa. Then again.. I would keep a framed photograph of her, so why not a pillow.. I guess it’s each one his own taste. From a decorating stand point I like them!

Just the other day I was talking to my sister about how we both set reminders for the next day if already in bed. We both grab whatever is closest to us (in distance, not to heart) and throw it towards the bedroom door. The next day, that grey throw pillow, t-shirt or sock automatically reminds us to pack the binoculars, call the cable company or pay that bill that’s due etc. This never fails. Our respective partners would probably not even remember if the binoculars, bill or cable guy himself was lying on the ground by the door. For them, of for anyone with an eye for design, there now is the Drawlamp. It’s a nifty designed ceramic lamp that you can draw on as many times as you like. So great for those last minutes mental notes, great ideas or other that pops to mind when you just can’t be bothered to get out of bed anymore. But naturally you can also draw a lamp on it, or any other picture that you like to see illuminated. I like it. And I can’t believe how something so simple and effective can seem so new? I don’t recall seeing it before.
The lamp is designed by East-London based design studio Sam & Jude. You can buy it at Mookum for € 39,90.
