    "The clients' only request was that their home should feel like a desert tent, and that it's colours should be inspired by the wife's favorite nail polish: a brilliant shade of desert plum"

    This Memphis style candle warmer

    As seen on garmentory.com. I would want it myself if the lamp height was adjustable. It looks so fun!

    Gemini display nuon clock

    https://preview.redd.it/swnujglsxj2e1.jpg?width=4672&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97638bf0b4611512d63fa23280798fb717a35090

    I got my Dad's nuon clock working again after a corroded battery ate away at the joint between the battery and the clock board.

    Although, It's not in the best condition anymore.

    The clock hands are rusting and the UV paint is wearing off. The UV light has also burnt the plastic tubes for the water 3, 6, and 9 o'clock points, the peacock legs and the black background have faded too.

    I was wondering what the plastic tubes are so I could buy some and replace the burnt ones. I'm sure the clock hands just need a UV paint touch-up job.

    Running horses turn into birds

    My parents friends had a painting/poster of running horses that transitioned into birds. Very 80s black and white if I recall correctly.

    Does anyone remember/know this?
