Kate Decorative Keys
Vintage everyday objects are huge in home decor right now, but if you don’t have the time to troll flea markets and antique stores, these iron skeleton-style keys are a great tchotchke for the price. Set them on an end table or bookshelf, or hang them on your key rack by the door for shabby chic flair. Just, um, don’t accidentally grab these instead of your car keys as you head out on a busy morning. Not that we’d know anything about that.

The Art Museum
If you could design your own museum, what would you include? In nearly 1,000 pages, Phaidon created an imaginary art museum suitable for your coffee table. The Art Museum houses imagined galleries and rooms with everything from Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa to the Tomb of Tutankhamen – making it perfect for that spot which currently only houses the remote control.

“Fuck You” Original Painting by Mike Monteiro
Mike is a friend, and he’s been doing these paintings for a while now. There are several phrases to choose from, such as:
“I told my therapist about you,” “You’re not hot enough to be THIS crazy,” and the popular “Let’s make better mistakes tomorrow.”
However, “Fuck you, it’s magic.” is the best one. Go buy it.

Portrait Commission with Diane Rollins Feissel
I hesitate to tell the world about her lest she become too busy to fulfill my gift requests, but Diane painted our wedding portrait, and it’s one of my very favorite things. We even joined forces with some friends last year to purchase a portrait as a wedding gift for some friends.
I can’t resist the charm of marking an important life transition with artwork. Diane’s portraits are touching gifts for any occassion, but an especially lovely gesture for weddings, new parents, or grandparents who would love a family portrait. You can even commission her and allow the recipient to decide on the image they’d like her to paint.
When it’s really important that you get it right, this is the way to go.

(Price varies by subject and size of the portrait.)
