I’m attracted to anything “flashy,” but I’m also a big fan of glow in the dark items. I couldn’t be more excited when I saw this glowing keyboard stickers from ThinkGeek. Why? because I have this huge desire to use my laptop in the dark. For more privacy with my recent “room mate.” Not that she’s nosy but it’s so cool to blog in the dark and type away.

The glowing stickers are so fun to see. As you can see in the photo above, it’s easy to apply – just peel and stick! But so much for my excitement these stickers are not glow in the dark items. They said it is made of high quality fluorescent print that reflects any ambient source of light. It works with the dimmest light like your laptop or desktop’s monitor or a small USB light. You can choose the colors that suit your mood – pink, blue, orange, yellow for only $9.95 each. I think this is awesome!

Modern interior home style is the “it” these days. Gone are the days of dark wooden panelings and dark furniture. The modern interior home designs that I now see have plenty of light, fresh, artsy, alive and very inviting to make anyone a homebody. These wall, decal and window stickers rock! What I like about it – it’s affordable, eye-catching, DIY and it doesn’t damage the walls/windows. You can stick ‘em and remove it when you want to without leaving any residue. Ferm Living designed these fab wall stickers and Emma Jeffs designed the window adhesives. They have stickers/adhesives for every mood and every room, like for a nursery room the animal tower stickers are cute. Check out these fabulous window and wall treatments I found from Feel More Human. My favorites are barcode wall sticker and white clover window adhesive. But if you want something totally different and something unique in your walls, check out the huge Finger Print wall stickers and Power Pole stickers. But there are so many designs to choose from.

In Feng shui, the shapes, materials and colors of objects you put in your home make the chi energy there more yin or more yang. If you like a room to be more yang (active) like your living room, go for the barcode wall stickers. Straight lines are considred more yang. While rounded shapes like the flora wall stickers are generally considered more yin (passive) so this is more suited in the bedroom where you want to get a good night sleep.

Whenever I find fabulous modern interior design/style for homes, I always feel a rush and it makes me happy that I discovered another great idea to design my home sweet home… soon. I can’t wait to move.

Do you have a boring and not-so-smooth walls? No more worries because the fab find of the week will give your walls a make-over that is trendy, modern and eco-friendly! The Embossed Wall Flats from Inhabit Living and Feel More Human is made of Bamboo pulp so no trees were harmed in making of this product. You can cover your imperfect walls and you can also customize each tile to show off the artist in you. What’s more you can put it in an entire room, one wall or a stand-alone art pieces. Isn’t that awesome?!

The designs are clean and modern and they provide easy to follow installation instructions. You can choose from the following designs – seesaw, industry, bud-bud, shangrila (above) and braille. My fave is bud-bud design because I love nature, I want that design in my room and paint it in mint green. The Embossed Wall Flats is good Feng Shui because it enhances “chi” energy in dead areas of a home. Just install the embossed wall flats in one wall and presto! You just activated good “chi” energy in a dead (dark, gloomy, boring) area.

I feel excited and happy whenever I see stuff that are made of recycled materials. My love for eco-friendly stuff started when mickey mouse introduced me to Shipping Container homes. I was amazed how its possible to turn shipping containers that are almost considered junks turned into fab homes. So in my spare time, aside from Feng Shui you will see me surfing for do-it-yourself eco-friendly products. Its about time I start doing my part in conserving our natural resources. I’m sure, you would like to do that too. So when I saw this Moss chair found by casasugar, designed by 22-yrs old designer named Kyle Schuneman, I was like Wow! Cool, awesome but yikes! I don’t think I can sit in that chair.

But calmed down, its not for sitting. Its a piece of art that you can put in your home, garden, patio, etc. I didn’t know mosses can be a good decorative plant too. In Japanese gardens, they use mosses in bonsai pots. But this is an example that although moss sometimes gross me out, it has hidden beauty.

So you want to make your own moss chair? Here’s how. I bet your neighbors will break their necks looking at your fab moss chair.

Find a funky old chair and moss that are easy to grow, maintain and eco-friendly. I think this is very creative and a great conversation piece. Thanks to Mr. Schuneman for sharing his design. Happy mossing!
