Modern chicken coop
For your mod chicken.
I can't help thinking it'd be a bear to clean, though.

Shoe Rack Tower.
Even if you're not shoe crazy (I'm definitely not), it is the nature of shoes (like Tribbles) to quickly overrun closets. At $35, this would be a great deal for buying back the floor space in my closet. Sold.

Minimalist house in Portugal | Manuel Aires Mateus
Breathtaking.
The contemporary house has been split into two sections – one for sleeping and one for relaxing. The sleeping section has been accommodated below the ground so that one can enjoy a noise and trouble free sleep.

Fabulous idea for pendant lighting.
I *love* this idea.
For a simple, low-cost bedside reading light with a dash of industrial style, Bernier ran a standard-issue cord set through a vintage clothesline pulley, which he picked up at a flea market, on Thibault’s side of the bed. “If she ever wants it to be higher, she can easily adjust it,” he says.

Fractions Puzzle.
Simple, lovely and useful.
Update: Thanks to Ashley, here's a link to a much cheaper version on Amazon.com. Thank you, Ashley!
A perfectly presented fraction puzzle, which reminds us of school and also pies and cakes! Made from wood and painted in lovely primary red and blue. Great for little or big ones because it looks so darned good. 12x9"

UPDATED: TED Prize Winner JR Makes Wish, Needs Your Help
UPDATE: I'm uber-geeked that the partners at my company have agreed to donate one of the walls of our building to this project, and the project coordinators are interested. They're going to contact me next week to discuss it. I'd be so psyched to bring some large scale public art to downtown Milwaukee. Lots of hoops to go through (neighborhood association, etc.), but I'm gonna see if I can do it. Keep your fingers crossed for me that it all works out, will you?
This is SO cool.
JR's wish was revealed at the TED conference this Wednesday and it's a project called Inside Out. Anyone can upload a photograph of him or herself, a family, a group, etc. Once that's done, JR and his team will turn them into large posters and send them back to you with the hope that you will display the photograph in public. Whether or not this is done with permission, or in JR's guerilla/graffiti style, is up to you.

nr1977 by MihaDesign | Spoon & Tamago
The design of this space is brilliant.
Naoto Mitsumoto and Naoko Hamana of architectural studio MihaDesign were asked to renovate an old apartment that was constructed in 1957. Working within the confines of a 2-bedroom, 770 sq ft (71.5 sq mt) apartment, the designers were asked to propose a solution for the owners – a husband and wife with 4 kids – who desperately needed to come up with a creative use of the limited space.

MANEKI NEKO.
If you live in San Diego: 1) you are so lucky (SUCH a gorgeous city) and 2) you should go to see this exhibit because I can't. I love maneki neko. (I take mine with me whenever I travel.)
Mingei International Museum will open MANEKI NEKO – Japan’s Beckoning Cats – from Talisman to Pop Icon on Sunday, March 13, 2011. The exhibition will include selections from a collection of 155 cats given to the Museum by collector Billie Moffitt. Made in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, each cat is unique. Most are made of clay, but some are wood, metal, ceramic and papier mâché.
