This beauty is from National Geographic’s online store, so you know it has to be extremely well made and extremely handsome. National Geographic’s legendary cartographers use a process that combines 17 layers of rich color printing with specially developed materials to create these virtually unbreakable state-of-the-art globes.
With the light off, the globe shows a wealth of political data and 5,000 place names, all printed in the patented National Geographic typeface. With the light on, the physical world is revealed with meticulously hand-drawn mountains, valleys, vegetation zones, and ocean floors.
This beautiful globe would be as magnificent in the home as it would be in the workplace. During the years I home-schooled my three daughters, this would have been an amazing resource. Actually, it would still be a great resource. While playing Trivia Pursuit, if I got one of the hateful Geography questions, I could simply announce that I had to be in the next room for a minute… I left my drink in there, I needed to pet my cat, I suddenly forgot what color my throw pillows were – you know, a fib most excellent.
Details:
14″ diameter
39″ high with walnut-finished stand
Cord is concealed by running through the base
Lifetime guarantee
Comes with a certificate of authenticity and a booklet on globemaking

Unless you’ve made peace with the plastic piranhas.
If you have a taste for the unusual (and I’ve heard that you do), you’ll be as impressed with this The Claremont Helmet Lidded Bin as I am. No doubt you’ve heard about my own quirky taste for the unusual.
The sure-to-be-the-talk-of-the-officeThe Claremont Helmet Lidded Bin is from a retailer I’m completely obsessed with – Design Toscano.
To put it simply, they’re just as off-beat as we are. They, no doubt, have an inner Office Freak, and he – make no mistake about it – knows how to get his freak on.
Product Description:
Though the “Claremont” is an accurately rendered, medieval sculpture, the helmet opens to make this knight eminently useful in the charming English tradition of “the book hide”—as a dust bin with removal mesh basket, an ice bucket, a storage compartment, or as a stash for your latest cloak-and-dagger novel! Accurately sculpted, then cast in quality designer resin and finished as faux metal, this is a functional work of decorative art for your castle.
How about this for making your office a cooler place in which to be stuck?!

An office without a personality is as droll as a person without one. You should always look for ways to surround yourself with office supplies and decorations that make you smile and ones that show off your personality. Novelty lamps are the perfect way to let your… forgive the pun… personality shine.
The novelty lamps below are from The Light Shop and they’re a lot more fun than the average lamp. Click through each lamp’s link to read more about the lamp.
Cool. Way, way cool. In the video below, brilliant home decorating expert Kelly Edwards shows how you can basically build a home office in a box.
Anyone who works from home, as I do, knows the challenge of trying to keep your home office looking more like a home and less like an office. I try very hard to keep my books, folders, notebooks, office supplies, and so on kind of on the low. We have nice-looking shelves, cool organizers, and so on, but this office in a chest is simply beyond anything I’ve ever even dreamed of.
Check it out – I know you’ll be as impressed as I am.
Make no mistake about it, I’m a first rate animal lover. Cats, polar bears, pigs, possums, sharks, birds, raccoons, dolphins, skunks, dogs… I approach life as though God has given all of them to me as my own personal pets. (Reptiles? Unwanted gifts but who am I to question God?) So, I go about my day watching, feeding, ooohing, awwing, petting, and trying to save & protect all of my… in the words of the great Elly Mae… critters.
If you, or someone you know, feels similarly, you’ll want to grab at least one of these beautiful Wave of Light Dolphins from the Discovery Channel Store.

In a comment, Daisy pointed out how the Funky Wooden Cabinet (3 posts down) reminded her of the painting, The Son of Man, 1964. It totally does!
These would be out of this world grouped together. Sure, you might creep some people out of their wits… but that’s a chance you’re willing to take.
Click through the image above for other options with this great print. It’s available framed, unframed, as a stretched canvas, and simply as an art print.
Bruce Springsteen had one of the top 10 concerts this past year – grossing over 22 million. The Springsteen & E. Street Band’s Working on a Dream tour included a historic five-concert stretch at Giants Stadium and I’m not sure why I wasn’t invited. It could be that word got out about how I (mis)behaved at a recent Montgomery Gentry and Trace Adkins show.
I am living proof that you don’t have to drink alcohol to act a fool. Coffee and Diet Dr. Pepper will get the job done.
The Bruce Springsteen poster above is for the office that wants to rock it out. Sign me right up!
