before i head out for the weekend i wanted to end the week with these great new designs from budesign of latvia. their accessories hanger is such a great idea- i always have so many small things that i want to put away (too many to leave on an entryway table) and this is a great way to make better use of a hallway closet. it would even be great for small scarves and gloves- which always end up buried under my shoes in the closet. in addition to their closet hook/hanger, budesign made some beautiful lighting inspired by a cheese grater. it would be so fun to see in a grocery store, deli or cheese counter. which reminds me- it’s time for lunch. i’m off to raid the pantry for something to eat- i hope you all have a wonderful weekend and i’ll see you on monday! stay tuned for a new d*s desktop wallpaper next week! below is a summary of this week’s highlights:

I love the budesign products. Do you know how or where to buy them? I got a bit confused by the latvian on their site!

just shoot them an email on the site for purchasing info- i don’t think they have US retail set up yet.

ps. I LOVE those metal lamps with the holes in them. I’m not sure what the correct “term” is for them, but they are AWESOmE!
love the hanger and the lamps!
the accessories hanger looks great…
if i had one i would get out of the house so much quicker in the morning…i’d know exactly where my wallets keys and mobile are…
Evidently, everyone’s closet is a lot less crammed than mine! It’s a great idea, but not for me. ;(
That accessories hanger is one of those “why didnt I think of that” designs…
They could make millions by putting them in every bed bath and beyond lmao…what a great idea
I love this one it so creative
Stunning lights! I’ve been itching to make a light recently…..gathering ideas! The accessories hanger is so clever and useful too!
thank You for good measure.:)
Thanks for the round up this week! They’re still my favorite thing you do.
I love the lamps…I’m really into anything having to do with kitchens, kitchen utensils, food, so to have lamps that look like cheese graters, now that’s brilliant and they would look great in a kitchen. And the hanging shelf, that would be great for my boyfriend who has a lot of knick knacks laying around. It would be great if you could attach various shelves together so you don’t have wasted space beneath the single one, no?
Cool light fixture – punched metal – love it. I sometimes wish I had a big place to showcase all these cool light fixtures that have come out recently.
Ooh! The ones that are dark black and weaved–they remind me of an exhibit of the roof of the Nevada Museum of art made out of black zip-ties and net–but with a warm pot-bellyed stove feeling. Perfect for warming me up to the idea of modern. :)
oh~very unique!
I love your blog, thanks for sharing so many wonderful finds.
ingenious hanger.
Baiba, malacis! :)
