Right now we want a Chicago Line Poster

Now that we�re back in bike season, we want a way to store our wheels that�s both easy-access and attractive. Knife & Saw�s walnut shelf (available in a variety of woods) is the perfect solution. $300 at theknifeandsaw.com.

We�re still suckers for Chicago-themed posters, and a new one just entered the market. This Chicago Line Poster screenprint is a simple, yet modern depiction of the El lines. Bonus points for the use of bright yellow. $28 at etsy.com/shop/lineposters.

Sometimes nothing wakes you up like a cold splash of water, which is why this Chiefs Energizing Face Wash and alarm app combo is such a clever idea. Set the alarm on your Android, and the only way to turn it off is by scanning the face wash�s barcode. Just don�t keep the tube near your bed. $17 at chiefsformen.com.

The cracked souvenir mug that doubles as a pen holder on our desk isn�t doing us any favors. Instead, Heath Ceramics� new ceramic, wood and cork desk set keeps everything cute and tidy (unlike the perpetual pile of bills and papers in our work space). $185 at heathceramics.com.
