I wonder how many of those old IBM clocks I’ve stared at over the years… just waiting for class to be over… Well, somehow it hasn’t stopped me from wanting the newly reproduced 1960′s IBM 13.5 Standard Issue Clock . IBM partnered up with the American company Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co. to bring this classic back to life. Hand assembled in Portland, Oregon, they’ve kept the original details like the domed glass lens and original graphics in tact. Now you can relive your clockwatching days… Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook .

I guess I never considered prettying up a board game (although I do love this designer edition of Scrabble ), but Frederick & Mae have recreated the games of Backgammon and Checkers that are much more visually appealing to me than the traditional color scheme and patterns that I’m used to. I love the patterns they created using simple geometries.

Digging for a gold lamp, that is.
As I was searching for images for this post, I realized I have a serious addiction to gold lamps. There’s nothing wrong with that right? Guess that just means I need to put one in my home so I can stop continually blogging about them!
Anyway, I saw the first gold lamp on Bravo’s Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis. Do you watch that show? Last week was the first time I’ve tuned in and I wouldn’t mind watching it again this week. I’ve been dreaming about that lamp since I first saw it and I can’t find it anywhere. Except in that second image. I thought perhaps Bravo would have it sourced on their site, but I didn’t see anything.
Finally, I found the third lamp, a very similar style, on a Danish website which then led me to an US site. (Which told me that the lamp is over $2,000! Total bummer.) After that, I gave up my search and started looking for glossy gold spray paints to create my own version of this lamp.
My question is – what do you do in situations like this? Have you ever searched high and low for something you’ve seen on television or another outlet? It seems that with the Internet finding such things can be pretty attainable, but what happens when you don’t find what you’re looking for that easily or affordably? Do you then DIY it?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!

There are several pros and cons to open shelving. To me, the most important pro is the way they open room with the most important con being the necessity to stay organized. Which is only a con if you are bothered by those kind of things – which I am!
They’re much easier and affordable to install if you’re looking for a change, and open shelving provides endless ways to style your dishes and accessories and to also add colors and textures to your kitchen. And if having shelving that’s all the way open is too much for you, you can add sliding glass doors or something similar, as in the last image above!
So, what are your thoughts on open shelving in the kitchen? Do you love this look?
