Inner Child: Colorful Home has Trap Doors & Secret Slides. If kids could design and build whole homes, what would they look like? This so-called Rainbow House is filled with secret doors, slides that bridge between floors and multi-colored spiral staircases to wind you back up. Chutes and ladders, anyone? Dubbed a “magical oasis’ by its creators (AB Rogers and DA Studio, the busy and noisy road next to the building is matched by equally rambunctious and interactive interior decor.

Re:modern :: Sustainable Modern Design :: Furniture, Home Accessories and Design Gifts for Green Living :: www.re-modern.com - Re:modern (www.re-modern.com) Ronel Jordaan's Rock Cushions (by @baekdal) #design. In late January I wrote about the cool looking rock cushions "LivingStones". Then Sian Eliot (from Willowlamp Studio) commented that the South African designer "Ronel Jordaan" has been making rock cushions for years.
Naturally I had to investigate the case. I looked up Ronel Jordaan's website, contacted her, and found that she had indeed made rock cushions since December 2004. Not only that, but Ronel's rock cushions is also way better looking than Livingstones. When you compare the two, you will be absolutely amazed how real Ronel's "rock cushions" look. Ronel Jordaan's cushions are also completely hand-made, hand-dyed, hand-carded, made out of felt, and have no stitches. What you end up with is a much better result. You can get the rocks in several colors like cream, pale brown, pale grey, mid grey, dark grey, charcoal, brown, and DK brown. So, if you just want to be cool then there is always LivingStones' copy of the real thing.
