With Memorial Day weekend just a few days away, warm weather and hanging out outdoors is on my mind. We have this horrible green canopy thing in our backyard that looks like it was built in the 70s and I’m dying to dress it up. While plans of tearing it out and replacing it with something more modern is in the [hopefully near] future, until then I’m planning to adorn it with some fun outdoor string lights to add a nicer look to it. If you happen to be on a similar search, I’ve rounded up six different outdoor string lights to help us all out!
Do you have outdoor string lights in your backyard? What type of lights are your faves?

And now for another edition of “Why didn’t I think of that?” starring Jung Soo Park’s magnetic hammer named Neo . One of the most frustrating things when you head up a ladder is having nowhere to put your nails. Jung Soo Park has tried to solve that problem by creating a hammer with a magnetic bottom so that the nails attach to it, freeing up your extra hand to stay safe on the ladder and keep dirty nails out of your mouth. Smart! Watch the video here .

Los Angeles-based earthnform designs a line of porcelain that is both sculptural and architectural. What’s unique about them is that they design the pieces from package material. If you think about how much plastic is produced and where it goes after you’ve opened whatever it is that you bought, it’s quite overwhelming. Well, earthnform wants to bring the issue to the surface while at the same time “producing functional pieces cast from found plastic.” By reusing the packaging material, they in turn, create art. “Gehry” ceramic bowl In honor of architect Frank Gehry. This design came from a plug in air freshener package found in a convenience store in Burbank, California.

Bradley L. Bowers sent me his Shell lounge and the simple design and elegant minimalism about it made me want to grab a towel and slap on a bathing suit and head to the pool. Shell is designed to bring you balance – literally and figuratively, encouraging meditation through use forcing the user to relax and achieve equilibrium of the mind and body. A piece of furniture that elicits such a quick response is for sure a well-designed object. It was exhibited at SaloneSatellite with other pieces in the Studio PLZ DNT TCH collection

Monocomplex’s new lamp, After Image , was inspired from the scene of mouse fire play (‘Jui-bool-no-ri’ in Korean language), which is one of Korea’s traditional customs. After Image expresses the fast “afterimage” of fire moving quickly, recreating the natural curve using wires and steel pipes, which were combined irregularly and connected along the natural flow of the fire. The curves reflect the light’s continuity and durability.

We’re hardly slaves to the trends, but when a look as fun as fluoro comes along, it’s hard to resist. Neon fashions bring to mind armfuls of brightly-colored jelly bracelets à la Madonna and her legions of Material Girls from the ’80s, but back then, when it came to decor, mauve was having a moment.
