Studio 1a.m. is comprised of the combined talents and designs of Donna Piacenza and Jody Work. You might remember their, This Table Will Self Destruct that we featured previously. They're back again with this printed cork headboard that can be used in more places than just the bedroom.

Along the same lines as the Cash For Clunkers program, the government will be sending out stimulus rebates on all Energy Star home appliances purchased from mid October to late November.
