The Card Shop: Turtle Papers Happy Birthday Deer Card Set
No gimmicks, sappy quotes, or photos of beefy men, the Turtle Papers Happy Birthday Deer Card Set ($10 for 4) is simply sweet and elegant. Yes, it does have that reimagined hunting trophy trendiness going on, but not in the sense that it's soon heading for the discount bins. Pick a set up and you'll always be prepared for the impromptu friend-of-a-friend birthday party you have to go to.

Let's Go Trend Hunting: Wordy Furniture and Graffitied Home Finds
This month, at Paris's trade interior design show Maison & Objet, UK designer Andrew Martin, who's known for his Union Jack motif furniture, showed off some other, bold prints, including this chair upholstered in designer Martin Waller’s new God Bless America fabric.
Martin and Waller aren't the first (or the last) designers to jump on the typography and graffiti bandwagon. There are a lot of really great interior design finds out there right now that display words, graffiti, or a combination of both.

Trend Alert: Reimagined Hunting Trophies
I'm willing to bet that most of you don't decorate with hunting trophies — those stuffed deer heads and mounted antlers typically found in lodges. I, for one, would never dream of hanging a deer head in my house. But I love that so many modern designers are reinterpreting the iconic look with antler-adorned accents.
Roundup: Wonderful Wardrobes
A friend of mine is moving into a bedroom in a new apartment which is closet-less. She will have access to two hall closets, but considering the miles of clothes and shoes she owns, an additional wardrobe may be needed. So, I decided I'd hunt some down for her.
How-To: Find an Apartment on Craiglist
Apartment hunting is a necessary evil. It's not fun, but you can't fake it either — unless you actually like crashing with your parents. Short of throwing money at a broker, there aren't too many secrets to apartment hunting; you've just got to search the local papers, classifieds, and online agency listings, cruise the neighborhoods you like for signs, and of course, scour Craigslist in depth.
Casa Beta: Home Decorators Annandale Jute Area Rug
Jute/natural fiber rugs are a great versatile, nondescript choice for every room in the house when you're not trying to make a statement but rather just pull a space together. I'd been looking for one for a sitting area in my home, and found that the prices really ran the gamut. I've seen super-simple 5-x-8-foot sisal rugs for only $50, and thicker jute rugs like Pottery Barn's Flat-Braided Jute Rugs for $300.
How-To: Snag Yourself an Apartment
Now that you know how to find an apartment on Craigslist, I'd like to give you some tips on how to snag the apartment you want. If you found a listing you like in the newspaper or on a sign, no need to put on the earmuffs: these tips apply to you, too.
- First of all, if you see a listing that's even of vague interest to you, email or call the contact with all of your information, and do it fast.
Love It or Hate It? Moo Light
Norwegian lighting company Northern Lighting has taken Jason Miller's Ceramic Antler Chandelier and the subsequent reimagined hunting trophy trend to the next level with the Moo Light, a sconce in the shape of a full-size moose head. Made of poly-resin and steel, no moose were harmed in the making of this lamp . .
Obama Buys $4,800 Recycled Chandelier For Daughters' White House Bedroom
In last night's episode of Man Shops Globe, Keith Johnson traveled to South Africa, where he was on the hunt for not-so-typical African crafts. After stumbling upon some unusual pottery and a handmade wooden dining chair straight out of a Van Gogh painting, he wandered into a magical art collective shop called Magpie , which sells knickknacks and décor made entirely from recycled objects. Be it a lid to a dog food can, a wine cork, or a Barbie, the eco-conscious craftsman turned the disposable into the extraordinary.
