Carnival!

The Carnival Glassware from Fishs Eddy is Most Excellent. Fun and amusing, these novelty glasses will add a dash of festivity to any spring or summertime dinner place setting. Each 17-ounch glass is priced at $6.00.

Ebb Basin.

For just a pop of color in the bathroom, the Ebb basin from Neo-Metro may do the trick. This Most Excellent bathroom fixture is available in several colors. The deck is completely made of resin and can even illuminate if you would like.

22 Series.

The 22 series by Omer Arbel for Bocci is a simple, seamless way to cast aside the electrical cover plate. The series features electrical wall accessories that challenges the traditional, tired and ubliquitous cover plate concept. Power receptacles, lighting control dimmer switches, on/off switches, telephone and data connections, cable and speaker outlets, etc. may now be mounted flush into drywall or millwork with this new system. The visually subtle look is clean, uncomplicated and Most Excellent.

Soundsuits.

Nick Cave is a Chicago artist who has risen to the forefront of the art world with his Soundsuits. These Most Excellent costumes are made using colored hair or found fabrics that are embroidered and beaded and often topped by armatures adorned with thrift-shop finds, ranging from children's toys to porcelain figures. These mannequin-like sculptures are wearable and Cave, (once a dancer with Alvin Ailey), occasionally uses them in performance.

Cave's Soundsuits is currently on exhibit at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco through July 5.

Vintage French Chairs.

These French Vintage Chairs from Jayson Home & Garden are Most Excellent. Each chair has an original finish and is reupholstered in an antique Belgian grain sack. I love the neutral distressed look and the unique upholstery design. Use one chair as a special jewel piece in a room or several gathered together around a dining room table.
