TGIF!
How is the weather where you are? I’m watching the snow come down outside my window and I just want to crawl in bed. Because according to Facebook, that’s what everyone else is doing today!
Anyway, here’s this week’s Weekly Six:
1 – Don’t you love the seating selections for this living room?
2 – A few DIYs with studs – including these adorable bracelets.
3 – This bed is beyond amazing and I would love to climb into it every night. Wouldn’t you?

5 – Did you know chocolate pudding was this easy to make?

My love for bar carts is no secret. But look at these babies. Forget love, let’s talk about obsession.
From Worlds Away, the Carr Bar Cart is available in your choice of either a silver leaf finish or a gold leaf finish. Both carts have fabulous circular mirror insets and glamorous mirrored shelves. And they’re both on wheels so you can take them along with you wherever you go. You know, like next to your bed while you sleep at night or into the bathroom with you when you shower. [Just kidding!]
Available at Clayton Gray Home, each of these carts retails for $1300. Time for this girl to start saving!
What do you think of these Carr Bar Carts? Just enough glam for entertaining?

These 360° table lamps by Magdalena Chojnacka / Studio Bongo Design are made from a single block of wood and a simple powder-coated rod. The name comes from the way that the head can rotate all the way around, allowing you to adjust the light to wherever you need it most.

Judith Jacobi is a student at Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule in Halle, Germany whose project called Visitor is a collection of products that presents creative solutions for needs surrounding commuting, travel and communication. Judith says, Commuting between one location and another is not about the places itself and neither about logistics and time management. It is rather about the people who are important to us and who care about us. At last we put up with such a double life for our friends and families. The collection consists of three designs: a calendar, where dates become secondary and migrant birds as representatives for people living far from each other, move towards each other from day to day; a pin-set for maps, where small nesting boxes can be filled with memories of distant intimates and thus a location on the map is replaced by a person; and a piece of furniture that serves as a well-prepared nest for the arrival, being filled with plans for the weekend and other prearrangements.
