I’d make them a few of these and then in the middle of some dark and stormy night, a little one would pad into the bedroom, clad in their favorite monster hoodie, hoping for some comfort from the storm.

Prepare to lick you lips as you salivate like Wile E. Coyote gazing down on a field of fat sheep. I give you this amazing desk made from an old door: Ugh. Gorgeous. This is the work of Manoteca, a company out of Italy: I really like the idea that in every object is held somebody’s life. … Read more
