Available at Inhabit Living. Motivational power questions on one side, an inspirational ass-kicking on the other… because who doesn’t want to feel like their soft furnishings are judging them? Actually I love these ‘Be What You Are’ ‘Since When…’ ‘Why Not Today?’ Made from 100% sustainable recycled polyester. Handprinted and handmade in the USA with environmentally-friendly [...]

Ok, this is Bughouse’s LP sleeve coffee table. It’s cool and all, but the LP covers are reproductions, not the real thing, which would have been a lot cooler.
