    Re the "Hoo Doo Lamps" - "Colorplast"? Do they mean Coreplast? The corrugated version of coreplast is on a lot of DIY shows and I'd like to play with it for some furnishing ideas but don't konw where to buy it.

    I forgot to add, an even better source of coroplast (especially smallish pieces) is available to you on any busy street corner in America. Those lamps would be much more interesting if they were made from liberated "Work from Home", "Lose 50lbs in 2 Weeks", "Vote for Dillweed", and other annoying street spam signs. Clean up the sidewalk and make something cool at the same time- everyone wins.

    Thing is, I want a couple sheet of the coroplast to make a large standing screen. Wonder if I can talk to a local sign company.... (unfortunately, thinking about this and continually browsing the apartment therapy site is sooo much more interesting than work...)

    It was worth clicking on the Batman Shakespeare lamp if only to see the other items bought by people who purchased the Batman lamp... Jenna Jameson bobblehead dolls.

    Color me surprised... or not.

    Love the Made cabinets, but I am so frustrated everytime I go to a website and there are no prices. I can only assume that the price will be too high at that point, and don't pursue it further.

    Can someone give me the website for Made please. I can't seem to find it, although no doubt they will be too expensive anyway. Whatever happened to affordable design, and please don't say Ikea. I seem to be there too much as it is!
