This is an amazing way to refresh you kitchen table. To make this you’ll need some blue glass(you may use any other color), transparent plastic, an optical cable and good hands. As you can see here the author made it look like there’s a river flowing across the stall.
Sadly the site that provided these photos had no info on the author. If you know who the author is or his/her site please leave a comment.

Here’s a good way to save on electricity. These blinds, designed by Yoon-Hui Kim and Eun-Kyung Kim store solar energy during the day and when it’s dark you can turn on the blinds to light up the room. The blinds are available in a floor/table lamp or a stylish chandelier. Eco-friendly and keeps your electricity bill low.

Using paper to make elegant rings is what I call creative. Tithi Kutchamuch and Nutre Arayavanish of TT:NT have designed a range of fold-out paper jewelery. The rings come laser cut on a sheet of paper and the user assembles them when needed much like origami. It’s just paper but I’m sure such rings will draw much attention.

Just came across this kid’s toy that shoots snowballs. It seems like most of the work that needed to be done to actually throw a snowball is done for you. Back in the days when you only had gloves you had to pick up some snow, form a ball and the throw it. Those who wanted more accuracy(me included) took their gloves off so the hands would melt the snow a little and the snowball would become more dense thus better accurate and throwing distance. But enough about history this gun fires softball sized snowballs up to 50 feet. Just put the snow in the gun’s forming chamber close the lid and you’ve got yourself 3 snowballs. Then place the snowball in the muzzle and shoot. The blaster is powered by elastomers so it lasts as long as you do. Here’s the link to the Shop

Some restaurants change their cutlery as often as every 9 months. So, that can creative people do with all that unwanted cutlery? Make furniture of course. This chair doesn’t look very comfortable though and if you ever find yourself sitting in one don’t move around too much if you want to keep all of your “seat”.

It’s effective, it’s merciless and now it’s slim. Designed by Pepe Garcia and Martin Žampach this electronic bug zapper goes well with almost any environment. Plus, it’s easy to use, simply install it somewhere in the room and change the fly paper from time to time however if yo can’t take the sight on hundreds of dead creepy-crawlies then let some else do it.

It took days of works and lots of cassette tapes but in the end the Dutch designer Patrick Schuur made himself a great closet. Each of the 918 cassettes were individually screwed to the wooden frame. Three doors provide access to the huge storage space inside. Now the cassette closet is being auctioned and the current bid is 499.00 Euro or $625. The link to the auction page is after the jump.
