Los Angeles-based designer Igor Chak was inspired by the video game Donkey Kong when he designed these 8-bit wall shelves that resemble the game’s levels. Chak explains, “I started to wonder… what happens to all those video game props when games become old….do they get stored away in a digital world or do they fade away with time?

Now that we’re done with the House Milk kitchen , it’s time to move on! Let’s take things outside… We have two matching exterior lights – one at the foot of the driveway and one closer to the house. They wouldn’t have been my first pick, but we can’t afford to replace them right now and I can live with them. What we can afford to do, is make them prettier. Each one sits in a planter, of sorts, made of brick, both of which are falling apart at this point (we’ve already repaired them once). The brick really doesn’t go with the house at all; we don’t have any brick on the exterior.

Montreal-born, London-based designer Philippe Malouin recently debuted a series of lamps entitled Daylight . The collection has a similar feel to louvered shutters, which makes sense since they were inspired by plantation shutters. Each slat hides a strip of LEDs that mimic daylight (hence the name), as if the sun is peaking through the shutters

As far as cheese goes, it seems like most people are either die-hard cheese fans or die-hard cheese haters. Personally, I’m a die-hard cheese lover. It used to be only about certain cheeses, and while I have my top favorites, I’m not as big of a discriminator as I used to be.

One of my absolute favorite cheese is brie cheese. Warm, cold, with fruit, veggies, meat, crackers – I’ll take it whichever way I can get it. And while that’s usually by throwing a small piece in the toaster for a few minutes and topping it with roasted garlic or some sort of jam, I thought I’d broaden my horizons and try some different approaches. Which leads us to today’s recipes to keep on your radar – anything and everything brie!

1 – Brie Cheese and Strawberry Puff Pastry “Ravioli”
2 – Brie and Grape Tart
3 - Pears and Camembert [or Brie, of course!]
4 – Ham, Brie and Apple Paninis
5 – Bite-Sized Baked Brie 

And there you have it. What’s your favorite cheese?
