the wonderful world of ikea

Have you ever walked through the Ikea showrooms, and thought to yourself, "I could live here"?

Taintor love

Kitschy, colorful, and dare I say sassy, Anne Taintor's novelty items are a fun way to let out your inner quirks in a more subtle, almost cute way. (Rather than telling a prospective suitor you're more than a tad difficult, just place a "High maintenance doesn't begin to cover it" coaster underneath their glass. Message sent.) With a slew of products from coasters and office supplies to flasks and shot glasses, Taintor has made it easy to show off the retro design-backed humor.
