Stal Collectief is a Belgian-based design firm who recently released two new projects that include the Koala 45 hammock and the Zwol pendant lamp. I’m pretty sure I let out a shriek when I saw the massively, oversized hammock that I know I’ll dream about. The group of four’s covet-worthy designs will definitely make you pause and take a second glance and you’ll see why. The Koala 45 might be a bit eccentric but who can’t imagine lounging on one with friends? The wooden canopy structure is held together with 12 bolts and can hold up to eight people when you’re ready to have a relaxing, open-air hangout

Axel Yberg has just completed a new line of tables called Split in his brand new collection of limited edition small lot pieces available at akke780.com . The set of tables is made from finished edge black walnut and square stock steel in a woven pattern that reminds me of a bench and also a bit like a maze. I like the playfulness here between the two materials and the modern, clean lines.

There’s been about one Halloween in the past five years in which I’ve carved a pumpkin. And it was only because my fiance had never carved one before. His was way better than mine, so I haven’t suggested carving again!
Instead of carving, I grab a few different pumpkins and put some glitter and/or paint on them and display them in the house. I’ve never referred to this as no-carve, which seems to be the trend this year. Everywhere you turn there’s a new no-carve DIY – and they are looking pretty good. In last week’s Weekly Six, I featured the no-carve crayon pumpkin, which I would love to try. So, today I’ve got two new ones: No-Carve Chalkboard Pumpkin and No-Carve Gold Studded Pumpkins.
The Chalkboard pumpkins are great because you can constantly change them. And the gold studs are just so chic and sophisticated! Have you made any no-carve pumpkins this year or have plans to?

Most likely, if you’re looking for an attractive bike hanger, you don’t have a lot of space to spare and your bike probably remains out in the open. Therefore, a multifunctional bike storage unit would probably be a bonus, right? Imagine being able to hang your bike, plus store some of the stuff that goes with it and not fear that it will make your house look like a garage. Chrome Ltd , a Latvian design firm, has designed bike shelf called FIXA , which is Latin word meaning “fixed.” This multifunctional bike shelf is designed to provide clever bike and accessories storage with storage space inside and a flat surface on the top that you can use as a catch-all table for your keys, wallet, smartphone, etc.

It was absolutely love at first sight for me when I saw the beautiful Eden Coffee Table. What’s not to love about it? Low profile, full of texture and a glamorous metallic finish – I’ll take it!
The Eden is offered as a set of two center tables and in a side table as well, with many finish options also offered. The structure of it is made from mahogany and covered with polished brass, and then the top is completely engraved to resemble a tree. This modern coffee table is made by Boca do Lobo.
What do you think of this coffee table??

Materials: PERSONLIG kitchen tabletop & Vika Moliden stands Description: As I’m an avid fan of ‘post your desk topics / workspace forum threads’, I thought it might be nice to share the IKEA hack in use in my own workspace. Last year I decided to refurbish my home office, to create a space that enables me to do my work in the most optimum way and of course that is pleasing to the eye. The first thing that came to mind was a whiteboard, I bought a really big one. However its 5 to 6 feet away from my desk and I realized I didn’t use it enough due to ‘distance’. Sitting behind the desk while on the phone or just using my computer I found myself scribbling on pieces of paper instead of getting out of my chair and walk over to the whiteboard

This is the time of year where everyone talks about pumpkins and butternut squash, I know. But please excuse me while I share this quick and easy recipe I made last night! I had some butternut squash left over so I figured I’d make a quick and easy soup before it went bad. Along with a gala apple, I roasted the squash in the oven for about 45 minutes – and my whole house smelled like Fall deliciousness. I was too lazy to take real photos, so I all have is this Instagram!
Anyway, although it’s a bit haphazard, here’s the recipe:
Butternut Squash & Apple Soup
3 cups of diced butternut squash
1 apple, diced (I used Gala)
Milk/Water/Chicken Broth
Gorgonzola
Croutons
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Toss butternut squash and apple with a bit of olive and lay flat on baking tray. Roast until soft, about 45 minutes. Once out of the oven, transfer the apple and squash to a bowl and puree. Add milk, water or chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency. [I used a combo of milk and water, only because I didn't have chicken broth on hand!]
Garnish with a few sprinkles of gorgonzola and croutons, and serve!
