Films I’m falling over myself to see

March 3rd, 2010Posted by katiesol

I’m on a cinema diet. It’s budget-imposed and is particularly difficult as it has come at a time when there’s a ridiculous number of films I’d love to see.
A Single Man – partly because it gives me hope that one day, when I’m wealthy and successful for something else entirely, I’ll be able to turn [...]

Like tea, only better

February 8th, 2010Posted by katiesol

Cosy knits for your tea – tea + knitting = The Best. Sure, you could pay $15 for this, but I reckon it’d be pretty easy to knit yourself.

Hanger tea – because teaspoons are for losers and those stupid strings always end up in the cup

Typewriter teapot – God, yes. I just love that this [...]

Pure unadulterated grade-A awesomeness

February 4th, 2010Posted by katiesol

Unborn children of mine take note: this is what your future holds.

I’d rather have the Lego version, to be honest.

Waterfall sink – like an infinity pool in your kitchen. Yes please.

As good a motto as any.

Finally, a use for all those old boring books I buy from library sales because they look nice but actually [...]

Machotaildrop: Surreal skateboarding

January 23rd, 2010Posted by katiesol

Watch this trailer for upcoming indie film Machotaildrop. You’ll find yourself none-the-wiser about the plot, other than that it’s some kind of Pinocchio and Alice In Wonderland inspired skateboard film. From what I can gather, this kid Walter really loves skateboarding, sends his tape off to revered skate-brand Machotaildrop and gets invited to join their [...]

Moss wallpaper

October 10th, 2009Posted by katiesol

Moss. It’s not something the average person devotes a great deal of thought to, but there’s something really appealing about carefully controlled moss. I liked the idea of poetry moss on a tumble-down whitewashed wall in my garden-of-the-future and these moss-decorated interiors are pretty nice too:

It is a beautifully unusual idea, and a nice antidote [...]

“Hello everybody.”

July 28th, 2009Posted by katiesol

Sigh. Is there a more heinous sound than the beginning of a Spotify advert? It’s one of the many sounds throughout the day which remind me that actually yes, I do need another cup of tea even though my mug is still warm from the last one. I hate them enough to leave the room [...]

Eco graffito

July 7th, 2009Posted by katiesol

If I had a garden, I’d want a shabby, peeling whitewashed wall at the far end at a right-angle to the unruly hedge concealing the door to the secret garden. And on that decrepit, possibly unstable wall, I’d like a pertinent (if slightly pretentious) quote about the beauty of nature and the ethereal qualities of [...]

Trees means tunes

June 27th, 2009Posted by katiesol

Feast your eyes on these delicious wooden headphones. You could totally listen to the entire Michael Jackson back-catalogue on these /tenuousMJreference.

Created by supercinq for soon-to-launch music label The Perfect Unison, the wooden headband is made from Finnish birch and inspired by skateboard decks. There are more designs here. Don’t know how comfy they’d be, but [...]
