Illusions Of Grandeur

With all of your books stored electronically on your Kindle or iPad, it’s hard not to miss your wall of bookshelves full of hardbacks. Especially since yours contained the hidden door to your money vault. Now you can recreate the essence of your collection with the Library Wallpaper ($upon request) from Mr. Perswall. The Swedish custom wallpaper manufacturer has cleverly photographed a wall of books to create an incredible illusion that will make all your visitors take a second look. The only drawback will be that instead of sliding a book, you’ll need to punch a hole in the wallpaper to get to your secret stash.

DIY

Since your time is precious and usually billable, you don’t normally engage in many “Do it Yourself” projects. But if the shower should start leaking and your Scary Shower Curtain isn’t to blame, you may need to put in some elbow grease to solve the problem. GE Caulk Singles ($58.00) will come in handy for a quick fix. The single serve pouches don’t require a caulking gun and are available in three different varieties: waterproof silicon clear (for colored surfaces), waterproof silicon white (for white surfaces), and paintable acrylic (for paintable seals). Stash a few under your sink and you’ll be prepared for whatever the caulk happens.

A Twofer You Can’t Refuse

Not since your $5 Footlong came with a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos have you seen Two-For-One deal this sweet. Behold—the Sovereign Superyacht ($132 Mill) that comes with its very own limousine. Swedish company Gray Design based the Sovereign’s silhouette on that of a limo, so it’s really only fitting that this 100m long yacht come with one. Onboard, you’ll find three decks, a swimming pool, golfing green, ten guest suites, a private cinema and helicopter pad. Quite the bargain at just $132 million, especially when you take into consideration that it’s eco-friendly, with a wind turbine and solar panels that generate enough energy for it to run itself. The real question now is whether or not it comes stocked with Cool Ranch or Nacho Cheese.

Hanging Around

Last time you backpacked through the Amazon you subsisted on rain water and white grubs alone. Any shuteye you got was achieved by propping yourself precariously in trees. Make life easier on yourself next time you tour the jungle by packing the Eno ProNest Hammock ($54.00). The woven nylon is breathable and lightweight and the carabineers make it fast and easy to set up. It comes in a stuff sack the size of a grapefruit and can hold up to 400 pounds. Which means you won’t have to choose between the tribal princesses, just invite them both.

Your New Throne

You take your bathroom time seriously. Only the finest t.p. (spun from New Zealand Baby Alpaca fur), reading materials (Scorcese’s latest, unreleased script), and scented candles (Zen Musk or Cinavanilla) will do. It stands to reason that there’s only one throne refined enough to meet your stringent Water Closet standards—the Carbon Fiber Toilet Seat ($300). 100% genuine carbon fiber is hand-layered in an attractive 2×2 twill pattern around a pre-molded foam core, and finished with the finest epoxy resin system. Fits standard household toilets (not to imply that your household is merely standard) and arrives complete with mounting hardware. Not that you’d ever want to part with it, but as an FYI, all sales are final. Phew.
