ShareWhen I think of Elvis, I think of…
So, while I have no need for a King cave, I thought I would honor the 76th anniversary of the King’s birthday by picking out something cool for my new apartment. I considered buying a Velvet Elvis, also known as a Velvis. But in the end, I had burning love for this vinyl decal I found on Etsy.
I love this ode to to the King rendered in crisp black and white doing what he did best. It comes in various sizes, including life size, which is how I like my Elvis art. What better tribute for a man who was larger than life.
By the way, Food Network has a great recipe for Elvis-inspired pancakes. Yum!
ShareYesterday’s “What the…?” is, in fact, a space-saving seating option.
This Aluminum Wall Chair is by the Scandinavian designer Hans Edblad, who also makes cool jewelry. It would make for an interesting game of musical chairs, don’t you think?

ShareWhile its form is anything but design drudgery (and quite an unusual statement for a coffee table), the original function of yesterday’s “What the…?” was routine. And not for steeping tea.
Terri got it. This Brass Laundry Ball dates back to 19th century Sweden. Washing machines sure have come a long way. (Now, if only someone would invent an automatic folding machine.)
