Space-Rated Paints
Posted by Danielle in Advertising & Media on February 2, 2010
Okay, so I found an ad I wanted to post after all, because the thought of using space-rated paint at home is SO amusing to me. Y’know, just in case some random part of your interior or exterior decides to launch at rocket speeds… better yet, in case you happen to host a rocket launch in your home!
Rocketship
Posted by Danielle in Art & Architecture, Home & Office on October 29, 2009
You DO realize the chubby, impossibly-pointy rocketship is going to be a… THING… here, from now on, don’t you?
A print I found on Etsy. I like the color scheme, but especially I like the texture of the piece — everything seems painted on rough wood, riveted or stamped, scarred and blackened with use. I like it.
Tabletop copper rocket

Another Etsy find, this mini tabletop copper rocket launches playfully from a golden sun. Affordable, inspiring whimsy for your desk!
Apollo pillow
Posted by Danielle in Home & Office on May 12, 2008
I found this pillow on Etsy. Simple design, lovely color and patterns/textures making it interesting. Wouldn’t mind having this at all, very cute!
Because of the stitched-on beads and 3D elements (and the price), I didn’t file this under Children’s Items or Children’s Decor. If you want to give your child a $110 pillow to gnaw on, be my guest. Personally, I’d rather an adult gnawed on it.
Convex Star Mirror
Posted by Danielle in Home & Office on December 1, 2007
Another lovely item from West Elm, this convex star mirror complements the sunburst wire wall art I blogged about several months back. I’d like both of these, truth be known, but this one especially, I like the finish.
Catch some rays. A contemporary take on the classic shape brings a decidedly new perspective to any room.
Moon Rug
Posted by Danielle in Home & Office on November 29, 2007
The price makes me wince, but I wouldn’t mind walking on this Moon Rug every day. 210 cm in diameter (that’s almost seven feet wide, folks!) Handmade in France, this rug is 100% wool and will sturdily withstand all manner of walking upon it.
A small step for Atypyk, a giant carpet for you.
Walk on the moon everyday.

Hubble Wall Murals
Posted by Danielle in Art & Architecture, Home & Office on May 16, 2007
HubbleSite — the public website of the Hubble Space Telescope — just won a Webby, which delights me. Moreso, I was delighted by their (new-to-me) Wall Murals gallery section, where they offer not just large-format downloads to print and hang on the wall, but full instructions on how to go about it, tips for printing and even framing! The first mural offered (at two sizes, at that!) is of the Carina Nebula, home of Eta Carinae, in color as well as black and white. Both are amazingly striking, and I hope this isn’t the last image they offer at this size!
I’ve been planning to take the large-format images I’ve downloaded and print them on giclée canvas (for stretching and hanging), but I like this idea of pieced murals just as well. Neat, neat neat neat!
Sunburst Wire Wall Art
Posted by Danielle in Home & Office on March 14, 2007
I saw this lovely sunburst wire wall art piece at Dooce.com — I love stylized space motifs, and this looks particularly 1960s. Hoping to pick this up at some point, it’d look great in my office.
Laser Etched Milky Way Galaxy
Posted by Danielle in Home & Office on February 22, 2007
A beautiful way to get a sense of your place in the universe, this Laser Etched Milky Way Galaxy sparkles in 3-D on an LED stand. According to ThinkGeek, “scale is about 35,000 lightyears to the inch”, too small for the central black hole to be shown.
