Have a habit of changing your living room's colour scheme? Self-confessed design geek? Obsessed with sofas that look like Post-it notes have been stuck all over them? If you answered 'yes' to any of these, you might want one of these Pixel Couches.

In Vegas, pretty much every hotel has a wedding chapel and we're all familiar with the excess and Elvis that goes with the classic Strip wedding. But move further south into Mexico, and Bunker Arquitectura has created modern wedding chapel, embracing the bright lights but also providing a simple, streamligned alternative to the glitz and tastelessness.
Wow! Great! We can now combine two of the wonders listed as ">officially boring in 2007 in one product. In fairness to Mustek, it is a pretty good idea as it means one piece of gadgetry, not two, but we just see so many iPod docks and digital photo frames now that it's hard to muster genuine enthusiasm.
There's virtually nowhere an iPod dock hasn't already been squeezed in, from the fireplace to the smallest room. But while this furniture isn't revolutionary in concept, I actually think it's pretty attractive design. I'm not one for pastel colours, but these are available in different colours and the minimal, comfy designs are appealing, and if you are going to succumb to relatively pricey techie furniture it might as well also be both usable and pretty. Just don't expect ...
Remember how exciting bedtime stories were when there were pop-ups?! Man, I loved those things. The kids in my class used to fight over the books of Spot the dog with the lift-up tabs. Anyway, even more excitingly, and slightly more grown up is this Book of Lights....
Whenever there is trouble in the city of Gotham, well, this clock will be of absolutely no help; unless you consider placing its 4 inch collapsible frame in front of you to ward off bullets.
The other day when driving home we almost crashed the car staring at the moon. It was huge, yellow and in the clear sky looked absolutely incredible. But how often does that happen? And, particularly in this light-polluted, overcast city, how often do you get to see a bright, crisp crescent moon? Well, now you can set up your own inside or out with Your Personal Moon. Okay, I admit it would never have occurred to me to want or ...
Three C batteries will give you 1500 of dramatic, bright lighting courtesy of these Lumin LED lamps. Each one is an 8" acrylic and brushed stainless steel cylinder with a coloured light in Crystal White, Rouge Red, Ocean Blue and (currently being re-stocked) Violet. Not quite 2" across they provide portable, compact but probably not particularly subtle lighting for any room. £35 each from Home Temptations.
Maybe it's the fact that we've just had the Shiny summer party, or maybe it's the emergent sunshine, but I felt in the mood to cover some party gadgets. The first thing I came across were these
No, there's no way I just wrote about this Instructables guide to making patterns on your fridge with magnetic lights just because there was a Pac-Man picture. What, do you think I'm obsessed? Just because of the moving plush toys and the crocheted set of P-M and ghosts? Well, you'd be... okay, you'd be right. But bear with me here because Pac-Man is not a necessity here and this bit of geek-home-chicery actually creates a pretty cool ...
Bedroom lighting needs to strike a balance between practical (reading, applying makeup and, in my case, still insisting on using that ancient Gameboy Advance with no freakin' backlighting) and the subtle and flattering; particularly if your bed is also a sofa and you want a soothing, comfortable living room. Morfeo does this by...
As someone who's had a slipped disk and back surgery to pin it all back in place (no, I don't set off metal detectors), back-friendly chairs are high on my list of praiseworthy furniture (no, I don't actually have such a list). Although the semi-reclined position looks a little like a dentist's chair...
You're probably looking at this picture thinking, "Right, she's gone mad, why would I want to purchase some bog standard boxes?" Fair enough, that's what I thought too, until I realised that these aren't cardboard. They aren't even boxes. These are chairs...
The "Executive" from Heiron & Smith claims to be a complete entertainment system, containing a TV set, a DVD player, and an empty bar (how complete is that!). It's also going to be a special challenge to make that bank shot if people keep telling you you're blocking the TV. All these features don't come cheap, of course -- the total price is around $12,000. [GT]
