Cool Idea: Stacked Books Table Leg
I recently attended a charity event at the Ted Baker store here in San Francisco. Given that Ted Baker is a purveyor of quirky British design, I wasn't surprised to find that the store itself was chock full of inspiration and original interior design ideas. One of these was a neon-green table with one leg built from a stack of books.

Found It! Chuck Bass's Dining Table and Chairs
In last week's episode of Gossip Girl, Chuck Bass's dining table and chairs caught my eye. Not only do they have a hip, contemporary style that's perfect for a young heir, but they're also very, very familiar. Wondering where you can buy them?
Desire/Acquire: Angled Leg Coffee Table
West Elm is a relatively affordable store, sort of the midpoint between ultra-affordable stores like Ikea and pricier ones like Williams-Sonoma Home and Pottery Barn. It's also full of great modern design, which unless you're shopping at Ikea, is hard to come by at an affordable price. But West Elm items like this Angled-Leg Coffee Table ($299) are still out of reach for many, or simply not sensible if you're a student or in transition.
Geek Tip: Use Old Mouse Pads to Fix Wobbly Chair Legs
Last week I showed you that old mouse pads needn't be tossed in the trash or Goodwill pile — they can be re-born as coasters. On that same token, the soft squishy fabric is great for a number of uses around the house.
If you've got a table or chair that's semi-wobbly, cut a small piece of an old mouse pad to fit under the wobbly leg.

Yoga With Biggest Loser Trainer Bob Harper
I gaze out past the middle finger of my left hand into the Hollywood Hills as my right quad quivers holding Warrior 2. This is when Bob Harper, trainer from The Biggest Loser, says, "You might be feeling a bit of heat in your thigh right about now." He's teaching a yoga class to a few bloggers and ladies of the press, and we all laugh as our legs burn.
To the Rescue: How to Safely Pick Up a Cat
As often as you see mama cats carrying kittens by the scruff of the neck, this is not a safe way to hold a grown cat — even lightweight felines are too heavy to be supported properly by just that excess, loose skin. However, you may still see your vet use this technique (with another hand under the rear), since it causes the cat to go limp long enough to lift her on the table or slip a med.
So what's the best way to approach and pick up a kitty pal?
