At Casa Misosouper, our guestroom displays our collection of vintage signs and modern proverbs. (We’re bossy like that.) They range from the ridiculous (a poster from the ’50s featuring a cowboy that proclaims, “The Louder You Are Tonight, The Quieter You’ll Be Tomorrow!) to the sublime (“It’s Nice To Be Nice.” So, so true). Nikki McClure’s gentle sensibility–ironically carved with an X-Acto knife–adds peace to the proceedings.
Cardboard furniture? Eh…not so much. As much as I embrace the innovation of modern design, these pieces are a bit too, um, scratchy toilet paper for my taste.
Cardboard vases that are appealingly Slinky-esque? Now that is a trend I can get behind.
Paraphrasing one of my favorite Lucky features: wear it now, wear it later; this little jacket is now marked down for your all-weather pleasure.
As far as Frugal Friday objects go, this one busts our normal budget, but considering the *potential* for money saved, this digital coin counter puts Coinstar (8.9% processing fee? what’s up with that?) to shame. Fill up this sucker, corral your kids/friends/neighbors to help roll your coins, then treat everyone to a gallon of gas.
Coral, rendered in aluminum: just enough industrial gravitas to stay on the urban side of beachy.
