The craft of making felt dates back thousands of years – it is the oldest known type of fabric. Despite its ancient origins, felt can be used in today’s contemporary home decor. Indeed felted wool has never looked so good when designed by Michelle Mason (UK). Her beautiful felt rugs are strikingly bold for they sport a fresh take on another traditional craft, lacemaking. They are not only pleasing to the eye but also to your feet as you walk on the soft, warm rugs.
The rugs are perfect on bare floor or carpet. Smaller versions are also available for the table top. They make attractive centerpieces as well as protect your table from hot dishes. The rugs are made in the UK from 100% felted wool and are available in three colors.

Michael or Micle Mihai-Cristian is a 22 years guy that is also the founder and owner of Freshome. In the begining Freshome was just a place where I wanted to get ideas and be more clear on how my future house or apartment will look like. With time more and more people discovered the website, and I’ve become someway addicted to this website especially when a lot of those people told me that they love the website. Right now I’m living in Timisoara – Romania.

Moving Color is an innovative technology which takes glass tiles to new heights in terms of interior design. These are temperature sensitive textured glass tiles which change color with the ambient, body or water temperature. So when someone touches them or if warm water from a shower hits them, the tiles then literally “bloom with color”! How neat is that?
The manufacturer offer tiles in different sizes and for all sorts of applications - wall, floor and counter tops. There are also texture and base color options which allows you to custom the look you want. Clients can also choose the activation temperature of the tiles which will then go through 3 shimmering phases, each with a 6 – 10° rise in temperature. ”Once the temperature peak is passed, the base color returns and remains the same until the temperature drops.”
How much is this going to cost? It’s approximately $17 per standard size 4″ x 4″ x 3/8″ tile or $149/ft with reductions for volume discounts. It’s not cheap because the tiles are all individually hand made from recycled glass but you have to admit, they are “cool” when hot! – Via

Feeling a little holier than thou lately? Then you should get the Jesus floor lamp by Mexican designer, Ricardo Garza Marcos. You can place the halo style lamp behind where you sit either at home or at the office. Not only will it illuminate your work or reading area but it will make you look positively angelic! This design is not just simply beautiful but it does carry a saintly message, perhaps along the lines of “Who, me?” – Via

Top home improvement retailer Home Depot Inc said per-share profit would fall for a third consecutive year in 2009 as the recession and softer U.S. housing market eat into sales. The company has been hurt as fewer of its customers are buying new homes and spending money on repairs and remodeling. Home Depot posted a net loss of $54 million, or 3 cents a share, for the fourth quarter ended February 1, compared with earnings of $671 million, or 40 cents a share, a year earlier. Home Depot is also cutting 7,000 jobs as it shutters its Expo Design Center chain and trims corporate costs. – Via
