first i need to start buying and reading books

WIWI: but this is an ingenius idea. i would want it retrofitted to fit magazines and newspapers, but we can't have it all.


La Bibliochaise Home is water varnished in white, black or aubergine, also available in others colors upon request.
Cotton cushions with removable covers in a wide range of colours. Contains 5 metres of books.
no price, but looks expensive.

it sucks!

WIWI: yes, i'm literally drooling over a vacuum, but i like my stuff clean. especially since my hair falls out at an insane rate (TMI?), the dust bunnies in my place are actually beginning to look like bunnies, and i essentially occupy a 17x12 foot space.


The Dyson Stowaway has Root Cyclone technology, wraps to store away, with a motorized Brushbar.
$499.99

functional decorating is fab

WIWI: i hate hate hate dealing with wiring. messy and ugly and the whole chance of electrocution is offputting. but wires this pretty might make a good sound system project worth it.


FlatWire is thinner than a business card and yet flexible enough to bend to any angle required for a customized installation. This technology has the same or better performance as conventional wiring.
And most uniquely, when FlatWire is installed correctly, it becomes virtually INVISIBLE.
FlatWire will forever change the way we think about wiring, decorating, redecorating and even new construction. We no longer have to compromise our vision of a room based on the location of outlets or how easily we can move them.
25 ft of 18 gauge wire: $37.25

how college dorm, but expensive

WIWI: i sometimes have separation anxiety when it comes to my clothes. i'm not sure if it'd be worth it to get this chair, plus imagine all the lint that would be flying off the frayed fabric edges, but the real question is whether i can get a matching ottoman.

Rags, metal strips. 60 x 60 x 100cm. Ships in 8 to 12 weeks.

rent in dc is outrageous

WIWI: at least it's not made out of cardboard. but seriously, this is amazing. even though i'm not in love with retro/modern rounded edges, the concept is incredible. i wouldn't suggest this for sleep walkers, though.
