    Hot In The Hive: Light Pillow

    image
    Alex Gambardella on Jul 28, 2009 6:17 AM PDT
    Finally -- the bookworm's comfy, camouflaged alternative to the book light! This light-up pillow, designed by Linas Kutavicius, can be placed on the floor, on the bed, or even hung up as a unique wall lamp or chandelier! While I'm sure its inner metal frame keeps it from being quite as squishy and cuddly as the rest of your bed linens, its washable cover keeps the lamp soft and safe while you cozy up in your bedroom. Get your own at Generate Design. Just don't get any crazy ideas about a glow-in-the-dark pillow fight; I'm not certain the fixture is quite that multifunctional...


    Price: $189

    Hot In The Hive: Peter Waltz's Dollhouse Light Fixtures

    Known for his skillful reworking of recycled materials such as old vacuum cleaners and used speakers, innovative artist Peter Waltz's latest gig is his crafty conversion of vintage dollhouses into modern light fixtures to brighten up your own life-size abode. These tiny "homes" come in a variety of floor plans and styles, varying not only in their architecture but in the way Waltz chooses to remodel them as well. Whether he opts to restore its original paint or force it to rust to create that distinctly antique look, each dollhouse is subtly unique from the others, not to mention wholly original from any type of light fixture you'd find at Ikea! They can be attached to a wall or even placed atop an end table -- either way these vintage dollhouses combine the youthful nostalgic charm of a girl's favorite former plaything and the edginess of modern home decor. Check out the whole collection on his online portfolio and order one yourself through the site's contact sheet.


    Price: $300-700

    Aviaries- They're Not Just For The Birds!

    Hanging aviaries in your home makes a spectacular statement and provides a unique way to store and display coveted items. Hang a collection of vintage bird cages at differing heights in your living room, display a single dramatic one on a table or shelf, or use cages to showcase potted plants in garden settings-- the possibilities are infinite because there are so many options when it comes to aviaries. Not only are there a plethora of bird cages available online and in antique shops and pet stores, but they are also easy to customize with spray paint and distressors. I'd fill aviaries in my home with everything from orchids to seashells to faux fruit to tea lights and dramatic candles alike. So let your creative juices flow and invest in an aviary this fall! There are quite a few available in the Hive from a pair of Far East pagoda-inspired pieces to a spectacular golden Victorian-era conservatory bird cage. Check out my SLIDESHOW to see my five favorite decorative aviaries.

    Holiday HiveSlides: 10 Outdoor Decor Ideas That Aren't ...

    You could string the same lights as you did last year and look like everyone else on your block, or you could do something that actually reflects your style and personality. The holidays come only once a year, and if that's not motivation enough, well, you and I both know that those decorations won't come down for at least a few weeks after Christmas, if not longer. If you had to wear the same thing week after week, you wouldn't choose something that everyone else was wearing, so why subject your house to the same situation?
