In today's House & Garden section of The New York Times we get a look at some favorite product designs of seven different design-themed blogs &mdash including some picks from Maxwell. We've pulled our favorites from the round-up...
Shopping with bloggers is interesting in itself — we're constantly looking for new and interesting things but price is often not an object because we rarely make these purchases but are rather, inspired by the products:
Picks from Cool Hunting include this Newgate Retro Wall Clock.
Picks from Hollister Hovey included this Square-Shaded Steel Lamp.
Picks from Design Sponge included the Nesting Step Stools from Brooklyn-based Paul Loebach.
Picks from Peak of Chic include this Christopher Spitzmiller Hadley Lamp.
Picks from Unbeige include the Fire & Ice Coffee Table.
Picks from MoCo Loco include this chandelier from Sarah Cihat.
Maxwell's Picks representing Apartment Therapy included the Atocha Record Cabinet.

jeez, and it's only $12,500!
congratulations to all of the blog sites that were recognized in this article for receiving well deserved attention.
as i watch my financial portfolio meltdown, perhaps i'm being hyper-sensitive when i see a record cabinet for $12,500 selected as a best pick, or a bike for $3,400, a chandelier for $12,000, a coffee table for $9,900. it's true that picks in new design are always appreciated, regardless of their price tags. but given our present financial climate, some, not all of these picks seem out of touch to me.
BB: I agree completely! I didn't see a single thing that was either affordable or useful.
I have to agree. These picks are beautiful, but I'm afraid they don't represent the AT community. To me, AT speaks to an affordable and eminently "doable" style of design, and a 3500 dollar bike and 12,000 bike belong just don't cut it.
And i agree, that those prices are WAY up there and not representative of ALL of AT, but we're not shy of the mix.
If you notice, all of us in the article ended up quoting really quite expensive stuff.
One of the issues with this article was that we had to supply them with new products that hadn't been written about anywhere else. That limited the field considerably and it was the high priced, really splashy stuff that made the article. I also submitted other picks, but they didn't make it.
Why would a record cabinet be so expensive? It's not even up to date.
