When you see this happen on a screen it’s a source of great frustration, but on a pillow it’s actually pretty cool. Each of these pillow slipcovers measures 16″ square and is handmade from 100% spun polyester poplin by artist Benjamin Berg. The print covers both sides and is finished with a hidden zipper.

Even though we all want a full size TARDIS, it’s sadly not the most practical or affordable object. It’s large and not so much bigger on the inside. But thanks to Timothy Dean, you can at least have a piece of the space ship – he has 1:1 scale Police Public Call Box signs for sale! They’re made from wood and acrylic, and one of the designs even lights up. It’s perfect to hang over your front door.

Harry Potter lends itself to home decorating. Well, that’s true if you live in a castle. Professor Snape fan Logospilgrim has shown us how it can translate to a regular house though. She has made her entire office the sort of place Snape would feel right at home. It’s decorated with objects that could be used in potions, Snape art and collectibles, a cloak, and plenty of books.

Being a nerd is mainstream now, so it’s easier than ever to personalize your holiday decorations. Deck the halls this year with everything from electronic wreaths to gingerbread AT-ATs. You can even use all of those discarded soda cans from your marathon gaming sessions to make a Christmas tree.

Kids have it all. Endless toys, nap time, recess, and video game themed bedrooms. Vector’s room is right out of the video game Portal. He has a Companion Cube pillow, circle shaped rugs, and even a GLaDOS. He is clearly very excited about his decorations, and he should be. The only thing better would be living in the video game—though that would be a lot riskier.

From That’s Nerdalicious!… Evil Mad Science has developed this Egg-Bot machine, which is sure to redefine how your family colors Easter eggs. The device has a rigid frame and uses two computer-controlled motors – one to spin the egg, and the other to move a stylus against its surface, creating repetitive geometric shapes. The Egg-Bot kit includes a USB circuit board that allows you to control how the motors move, and allowing “a resolution of up to 3200 steps per turn of the egg”. The kit also includes the open source Inkscape software and Python extensions necessary for determining what design your egg will carry. Check out some additional photos after the break.
These Kewpie doll cellphone strap decorations serve no purpose, but will strike the perfect cute/badass balance and give you a pretty good idea of what it would look like if the characters from “Love Is…” decided to open a biker bar.

Nothing is going to brighten up your Christmas like half a dozen grenades. In keeping with the spirit of the season, they are all a nice and shiny chrome color. It may seem more festive if they were red and green, but that isn’t really in keeping with the grenade spirit.

I have never been interested in putting any kind of wallpaper or the like in my bedroom, but that may change. These Sexy Thongs Vinyl Wall decals are the sexiest stickers I have seen. They are not very detailed, but they certainly get their point across. The women who are drunk enough to accompany you back to your room may or may not notice how tacky they are, but they have to be a bit more acceptable than yet another poster of Jessica Alba as decoration.

A lowrider that bounces to the music of, what else, “Low Rider”. Is there any purpose to this thing? Apparently not, but for someone like my mother who buys knick-knacks for every occasion, I could be sure it is one she doesn’t have. Now if I could only figure out what holiday this would be appropriate as a decoration for.
