How to geekify your home, one room at a time.

I like my home to be a reflection of who I am. I am a geek, therefore my apartment should be full of geeky decor don't you think? So I sifted through some of the nerdy sites I follow and found some really nifty ways to make your home feel a bit more geeky. Feel free to add anything you might already have or want!

For Those Other Areas

You know, the other areas: the bedroom, living room, random hallway, etc.

Ninja Star Coat Hooks

Coat hooks. I can take ’em or leave ’em. But these? These are ninja star coat hooks! Maybe anything placed on them would immediately be transformed into an invisibility cloak or something equally as awesome! Or maybe I could tell guests that I was attacked last night, but fought off the intruders with my sweet ninja-like skills. Or I can just hang up my coats or some boring sh*t like that.

Tetris-Inspired Ceramic Pots

I don’t have a garden and my thumbs are definitely not green, but these cool Tetris pots really make me want to have more greenery around the apartment.

Geekify Your Bookshelf

Add some of these geeky reads to one of your crazy bookcases:
The Hungry Scientist Handbook
How to Be a Geek Goddess
Twitter: Tips, Tricks and Tweets
Tech Girls Are Chic!

iPhone Icon Paperclips

Widget_bkcmntefljjoy0o6iapa7h

I love Etsy, don’t you? Bearduck has created these super cute iPhone icon paperclips. I think I would use them as bookmarks.

iCard

Widget_b3d7pi8ynfl7vnx2idkjwb

Another awesome Etsy find: The iBook iCard. Forget Hallmark! A set of three is $12, but think of the reaction you’ll get! Or maybe you’d rather send a letter on Play More notebook paper. On one side it looks like normal looseleaf, on the other it looks like a sport ball (basketball, soccer, etc.)

Turn an ordinary desk toy into a cable holder

Widget_aanwbyy4hkyjfjm0ezxvg1

These Mighty Muggs are only $15 and made from recycled materials. Instead of sitting around collecting dust, put these guys to work!

Lego Fail Whale?

Yes please. Check out the making of this fail whale, and then take a look at all the other neat ideas people have for our friend/foe Mr. Fail Whale.

Floppy Disk COASTERS!!!

For Your Bathroom

Waterproof Speakers

Widget_dha7yyjkpiwk9gs0y6qkgl

If you’re at all like me, then your shower turns into an American Idol stage, too. I have a shower radio, but without fail I always catch the commercials. So having my iPod with me in there would be a treat. Plus, these little drops are kind of cute.

Video Game Soap

Widget_bnqzt0idbmmpib25a8gmy7

I’m not sure I would use this soap. I’d channel my inner Monica Gellar and set this aside for only the geekiest of the geeks: Steve Jobs. Check out Digitalsoaps on Etsy. They have everything from strawberry-rhubarb scented Playstation soap to coconut-lime NES soap.

Bath Bombs

Widget_apg6og-yvigqcgacmhqojf

Excuse me while the 10-year-old me squeals over this. Super Mario Bath Bombs are like bath-time treats. You drop the ball in and enjoy the fizzle and before you know it you’re left with an action figure.

Waterproof LCD Monitor

Widget_cujqdvlmriq6hxsktqmuhr

It’s impossible to shower sometimes, especially during the fall when all of the good TV shows are back on. So if you can’t tear yourself away from Dating in the Dark, why not drop $240 and enjoy your showers anywhere you’d like? Like in the shower…

LED Shower Light

Widget_cnb6igsnfcvo_5vrhp8vp1

I know I’ve written about the LED shower light before, but that’s how much it freaks me out. Can you imagine standing under a stream red or blue of light while showering? At first it might be fun, but the novelty would wear off quickly. But just in case you’re a big fan of the shower light, there’s also the LED faucet light. Nothing like washing my hands under a stream of red blood, er water.

For Your Kitchen

Pac-Man Oven Mitts

Widget_dra8chiazoji-nwd9dvkca

Normally I’m a plain cloth mitt kind of gal, but these are too awesome to pass up. The mitt is made of silicon so your hand will be protected from the heat. Best part? The inside of his mouth looks like a Pac-Man level. Neat-o!

Binary Number Computer Clock

Widget_da756v3zfir6ecr-wqhzgk

I think the title says it all. I really like math references and jokes, especially if they are suggestive.

Super Mario Bros. Fire Flowers

Widget_dohy_ylqpl57eynhq6xtkf

Another Etsy win. A geek wouldn’t bother with real flowers. Their life span is nothing when compared to fire flowers
