If you are someone who like exercise, you may want to have your own gym at home. But most people don’t have apartments large enough so they can have their own training rooms.

This work was done in Bocchignano, Italy, a village close to Rome, as part of the group project “20 Eventi”. As you can see from these pictures, all the cracks in the walls there filled in with LEGOs! What a great idea!

The Grass Bed is just a bed concept right now, but I’ve decided to present this bed because the idea is quite crazy and might give you an inspiration. No matter what the weather is like outside, if it’s winter or raining madly, you can relax peacefully on your very own bed made out of grass. Invite your friends and I can sure that this cool grass bed can make them say “Wooow”.  [via cribfashion]

What do you think about this Steampunk Laptop designed by Richard R. Nagy. I think that is a really elegant and innovative design and I was thrilled when I saw these pictures. At a first glance, this may look like a Victorian music box, but inside this intricately hand-crafted wooden case lives a Hewlett-Packard ZT1000 laptop that runs both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux. I love this creation, especially the addition of a pen holder and a ball-point quill pen on the end of the wireless card.  [via Designersblock]
