  This is a good design for any one who enjoys having a glass of wine...or two...to yourself.  The design I chose is the wine stopper.  However, this is not just a cork that you stick in to stop the wine this is a cork that was made with other features to give the ultimate experience.  The cork comes with a decoration on top so that you can push the cork in as far as you want and will still be able to pull it out. It also comes with a ring that fits into the narrow opening of the bottle with a chain attached to the cork so that the whole piece will stay with the bottle.

  This to me is a good design because it takes it's purpose of vanity mirror to a whole new level.  This ultimate mirror is double-sided.  One one side, it has the normal view of a mirror where you see the reflection just as is while the other side is magnified so you can really get an up-close and personal.  Also, for each side of this double vanity mirror there is a ring on the outline of each mirror where a light will turn on when you press the button on the bottom of the stand.  This design for a mirror is a simple one, but really efficient in making use out of the entire mirror stand.

This is a DIY design that is probably one of my favorite designs of my entire apartment.  It is so practical and useful, that I honestly don't know how other people don't have this at their place.  My roommate took a white board, that has a cork outline, and jazzed it up with colored tape to divide the board into different sections.  She made the top portion just a general section to write whatever we want on there, and the bottom section divided into three parts (the two outside boxes are for what we individually want, and the middle box is what we both need for the apartment and can split the cost on).  She took a plain white board and took it to a whole new level of essential.  


  Here is a design made for those who love jewelry!  Any jewelry owners know that as nice as the necklace looks on you, it's more frustrating on what to do with it when it's off you.  It's always hard storing necklaces without getting them all tangled on each other, which is why I picked this necklace stand as my piece of what I think good design is.  The necklace rack is a very simple design with only three parts: the base, the pole that keeps the rack elevated, and the actual elevator piece (the bar).  This was an item I got off of Etsy, and is easy to assemble as well as disassemble.  The rack allows for a easy glide of putting your necklaces on the stand without any mess and is perfect for organizing.
