i've been seeing more and more of cute masking tape that is being used for decorative effects rather than being used as an adhesive



you can find these here or here if you know Japanese

There's also an artist that is known to use masking tape for her work!
She has an exhibition up at the Brooklyn Museum until 7/5

what to do with your keys...

i'm always obsessed about where our keys go in our apt and of course the roommie/husband puts them all over the place.
i initially put cup holder hooks into the wall underneath a framed picture but the weight of the keys have been loosening the hole and now its needs an intervention.

here are some ideas what YOU can do with your keys

want to make it yourself? diy: kitchen utensil key rack


bend some forks and spoons, mount them on a wooden square and then hook them to the wall
voila!
look here to get the step by step instructions

want something magnetic? hookeychain magnet




its a magnetic key holder and you can even attach a memo behind!
check them out at mollaspace

looking for a more modern look? welcome to urban mode

get this key holder with shelf here

get this key holder here

or modern but wooden? marvelous key rack


get them here

want something fun? mustache key holder


or go to ikea
get some plain hooks like these:

this is komplement

visen

lillholmen
and then put some fun prints above the hook to give ur key holder area some character
like these:
