ROUNDUP: Weekly Links 2/19/12

Here's what I'm rounding up this week:

Roald Dahl Postage Stamps

These adorable UK stamps feature favorites like Matilda, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Twits and more! What a fantastic surprise to get in the mail!

Temporary Wallpaper

There's no need to make up your mind with Tempaper, the repositionable temporary wallpaper. I love the way it was used here on the stairs - the options are endless!

Arrested Development Paper Dolls

Live out your wildest AD fantasies (or illusions) and tide yourself over until new episodes are available with these adorable and hilarious paper dolls.

Roseanne & John Goodman Together Again

Oh yes. Roseanne is headed back to sitcoms and she's bringing former TV hubby John Goodman with her. Granted, they won't be married this time around, but I can't wait to see them reunited and get a little taste of that Lanford flavor.

Most Outrageous Food Vehicles

I hate motorcycles and hamburgers, but this hamburger Harley has somehow captured my heart. Check out this slideshow of other amazing food vehicles - spoiler: there's a banana mobile!

ROUNDUP: Weekly Links 9/11/11

Here's what I'm rounding up this week:

The Coolest Furniture OF ALL TIME

Imagine what you wanted your dream house to look like when you were five years old: bubbles, candy, balloons, toys. Now imagine it can be a reality, but in a super chic grown up way. If you're in the market for new home decor (and you have some serious disposable income to spare) Jellio offers fantasy filled furniture and home accessories for every room. Make believe you're waking up at the Wonka factory every morning by grabbing a gummy bear chandelier or fantasize that you're a permanent houseguest at Peewee's Playhouse with a banana seat chaise. Or just go total sugar addict with the ice cream sandwich bench (above), candy button bench or cupcake table. There's even a yo-yo side table! Time to make those preschool fantasies a reality.


Yarnbombing

This website has me seriously wanting to pick up my knitting needles again (it's been a loooong time). Ordinary things like trees, bus seats and bridge railings turn technicolor with the help of some very happy knitters. It's kind of like grandma's version of graffiti, with colorful yarn encasing various items in public spaces, creating a visual feast for all. It apparently started as a creative way for some crafters to use up supplies and unfinished projects and has become a national underground sensation - there's even an International Yarnbombing Day!


CMYK Themed Wedding via Rock n Roll Bride

Regardless of how uninterested in wedding planning you may be, anyone with a design background has to find some joy in this CMYK themed wedding. CMYK is the standard color model for professional printing and any graphic designer is well versed in this four color wonder (C=Cyan, M=Magenta, Y=Yellow, B=Black). It's also just a rad color palette, as this graphic designer couple found, and everything from the bridesmaids' dresses to the centerpieces to the petticoat is CMYK colored and the overall vibe is so modern and fresh. Wedding or no wedding, your next event just got a whole lot more colorful.


Roseanne Comes to Bust!

All hail Queen Roseanne! Seriously, I have idolized this fierce female since I learned how to forcefully grip the TV remote at age four. I never missed an episode of her iconic show (Oxygen reruns included!) and until recently I was having some subconscious withdrawals - I didn't realize how much I missed Roseanne until I saw she had a new reality show on Lifetime (!) and then this week I saw that she's going to have her own advice column in Bust magazine (!!!). It was a definite A-HA moment; I don't know how this hasn't happened sooner! We won't have to wait much longer because her unique brand of witty and honest advice is coming to Bust in the December/January issue. 


Message-in-a-Cookie Cutters

This is just an all-around good time. Personal messages in cookies? YES PLEASE. I know Williams-Sonoma offers the fine suggestions of "It's a Boy!", "Get Well Soon" and "I Love You" for their homemade sweet treats, but with the option to create your own words and phrases letter by letter, I can't see any reason not to turn the funny factor all the way up. How about "Sorry I Gave You Syphilis", "You Are NOT the Father" or "Pee on Me" cookies? You're only limited by your own imagination, but I guess "Happy Birthday" works too.
