blogwatch: coffee tables to tool bags

This week we were introduced to a new blog, Modern Self, which is a couple of clever guys musing on style, decor, dating, books and more. We were especially impressed with the tale of Eric’s unique coffee table. It is made of two pieces of wood his grandfather brought back from WWII (long story, you have to read the post!). Another blog we’ve been digging lately is the latest from the Sugar crowd, Geek Sugar. This USB Keyholder seems like a bright idea, since keys and thumb drives are two things we seem to misplace all the time. Gearing up for Valentine’s Day, Cube Me suggests this heart-shaped egg frying pan, which would probably come in handy on the morning of February 15th. Chicago Apartment Therapy turned us onto another new blog, Janelle’s Pieces from a sweet fashion designer in Philadelphia. And among our standbys: Charles & Hudson points out tool bags so cute, that it makes us want to abandon our belts! And silk felt soil has a preview of Zara’s home catalog. It’s not yet available in the US so don’t get too excited!
