I have been looking for an inexpensive way to store the magazines piling up on my coffee table for awhile now. And, that search has brought me to the Umbra Magazine Rack from Target. At $30, it looks to be a pretty affordable solution. I saw one at my local store, or you can pick one up online at target.com.
CES 2009 is here. And while Gizmodo and Engadget have the show more than adequately covered, I thought I would highlight some nice guy decor friendly products that come out of the show. The first is the LG LHX (pictured above). This is a really nice departure from their Scarlet series of TVs (which I did not care for). The new design is simple and modern, and the inclusion of wireless HDMI will make wall mounting that much easier. Read more about it at Gizmodo.

CB2 is showing off some new items for 2009 at CB2.com. One of the first items that caught my eye was the Scandinavian design inspired Scan Lounge Chair. It features a solid oak frame matched with grey upholstery. The classic design would fit in any modern decor.
I was looking over some of the new products at West Elm and came across the overlapping-squares wood wall art. I like that they are simple and have a classic pattern that would look good just about anywhere. They are $59 for a set of four 12″ square blocks.
I have been looking for a 46″ 120Hz LCD for awhile now, but have not really found one that I thought had a nice, simple design that would match my decor. Today, I came across the redesigned Sharp Aquos LCD that just might work. The curved bottom (which I was not a huge fan of) has been replaced by a simple, square bezel. I think that this would look nice in a modern interior. Now, I just need to go see it in person.

I am not much of a skater, but I think that the Imaginary Foundation Skate Decks would look pretty cool mounted on the wall. They come in four varieties for $60 a piece.

The Throwing Star Magnets will bring out your inner ninja while propping up your grocery list on your fridge. Two magnets are included for $19 and are shipped in a ninja-adorned box.

The Poster List is another great place to find unique posters for your walls. The piece above, Skull Guitars (look for July 31, 2006), is just one example of their work. At $10.99 for a 12″x18″ poster, it is pretty affordable, as well.
Purchase at theposterlist.com.
The NOTCOT 2008 Gift Guide features this hilarious accessory and I could not resist posting it here. From A+R, Phil Cuttance’s Trophy Hangars feature the miniature head and the bum of a moose (and other animals) on a plaque for use as coat hooks. They would make a good conversation piece in the entry to your home.
You can purchase them for $50 at the A+R store. [via the NOTCOT 2008 Gift Guide]
I do not have the time nor inclination to do a guydecor gift guide this year. And, if I did I probably would not even come close to the effort put out by the NOTCOT Gift Guide. So, if you are looking for a gift, check it out on notcot.org. I will probably feature a few of the items that I like, so stay tuned.
