Treasure: Foosball Coffee Table

|

The Foosball Coffee Table might not be the most sophisticated coffee table I've ever seen, but it definitely is one of the neatest. Foosball is fun and not everyone has a game room or a finished basement to store the table in, so this is a way to have a foosball table if you don't have a lot of extra space in your house.

Coffee tables aren't tall, so I understand why this isn't tall. But crouching down to play foosball is not ideal. Nonetheless, this table is still pretty awesome. At $499 with free shipping, that isn't a bad deal. Nice coffee tables without foosball playing capability can cost at least that much!

Treasure: Shopping Cart Chair

Shopping Cart Chair Gold.jpg

This chair that looks like a shopping cart is a miniature model (for $379.00 - yikes), but it would be awesome if it was full scale. Although it might not be a very comfortable chair, it is definitely very unique. It'd be quite a conversation piece and I think guests would tolerate sitting in it for a while just because it's neat.

We don't sell shopping cart chairs at Vat19.com, but we do sell a Mini Shopping Cart Caddy that is perfect for holding office supplies, candy and snacks, or letting Barbie push around. Best of all, it looks just like its full-sized counterpart and even has a working seat.

Treasure: TV Easel

Holy cannoli, I am in love with this TV stand. I feel bad calling it a TV stand, because that sounds so boring and commonplace, and this beauty is neither of those.

This TV Easel (name still doesn't do it justice) is constructed of solid hardwood and is height-adjustable to fit flat-screen televisions from 42" - 60". It's tough to tell from the photo, but there is a shelf on the bottom for your DVD player, cable box, and/or gaming console. It also has locking wheels on the bottom, and could also be used for a mirror or actual artwork. Oh, and the antiqued ebony finish is hand-applied in a four-step process.

So, you know what all this means, right? It's pricey. $995 at Restoration Hardware. Oh if I had $1000 to spare...

Trash: Chair Socks

Initially, I thought these Chair Socks by Chris & Ruby were a really cute idea. They're way more interesting and fashion-forward than those beige stick-ums you usually put on the bottom of chair legs, right? And it'd be a good way to add a little decorative kick to your dining area, right?

Then I looked at my dining chairs and imagined them with these pink "Flashdance" socks on them, and I realized how lame it would look. It's like putting a scarf around your refrigerator or something. It just doesn't go.

Treasure: Acrobatic Cabinets

|

Aren't these crazy cabinets awesome? I'm not sure if they're somehow bolted together, or if they're actually balancing one on top of the other, but either way, they're still insanely cool. They look like they're in the middle of a dance, one right out of Disney's Fantasia or Alice in Wonderland. It'd be tough to fit these into any standard decor, but I love the kooky look.

Created by artist Vincent Leman, they're available in three color combos. Here comes the buzzkill - they're $3205 per set. Yeesh!

Treasure: Bibliochase

OK, I don't know if this is actually for sale anywhere, which might frustrate those of you who may want to purchase it for yourself or as an awesome gift for a bibliophile friend of yours.

However, I could not resist posting it, because I love it. Who knows how comfortable it would actually be, but I just love the idea of sitting down and basically being surrounded by your own private little library. You can finish one book, slide it back in its slot, and then pick out another without leaving your seat! How convenient is that?

Plus, it looks cool.

Treasure: Mayan Temple Desk

If I had a million dollars and wanted to spend $5,000 of it, and if I was into Mayan history, and if I wanted to look ridiculous behind a huge desk, then I'd probably love the Mayan Temple Desk. It would be really funny to watch people walk into my office and end up with this staring them in the face...with me sitting behind it attempting to look serious. I don't think I'd be able to sit behind this desk and not laugh.

Don't get me wrong, this desk is very unique and artistic. The design is clever and it's neat that there are built in drawers and cabinets. However, I'm not into heavily themed decor.

Treasure: Granite Fire Pit Table

|

Fire Pit Table.jpg

Does an outdoor table get any cooler than this? The center of the table can be a regular fire pit, a gas grill, or an ice bucket. During the summer you can put a patio umbrella in the center instead. Talk about versatile!

Bar height tables probably aren't the norm for outdoor furniture, but I like it. It makes it easy for people to sit at the table on bar stools or stand at the table and not make the people standing feel awkward. The granite makes it look very nice and also makes it very expensive. The base price is $2,359.00! This table is cool, but not that cool.

Not into the bar height? Check out this dining height granite table with a fire pit.
