GelaSkins Custom iPhone Skins

I've had my iPhone 4 now for almost a year but have yet to settle on a cover.  

I know it's not the biggest decision but none of the covers reflected who I was. 

I know, I'm picky.  

If it's an item that I use multiple times a day, though, it needs to make me happy every time I see it. 

I got SO excited when I stumbled across 

GELASKINS CUSTOM iPHONE SKINS

yesterday.  You can upload images to GelaSkins and have your custom skin sent straight to your door. 

Genius.

I sacrificed a good hour or two of sleep trying to figure out which skin I want to order.

Here's what I've created so far:

I'm leaning towards the first abstract but my heart twitters over the mint colored Cy Tombly.

Which piece of art would you 

use for a phone cover?

Hick Pendant by Thomas O'Brien

Besides my new iPhone, there's a new obsession in my life- the  

HICK PENDANT 

by the fabulous Thomas O'Brien.

The Hick Pendant is the perfect mix of modern and vintage, warm and cool tones, sleek and antiqued, etc.  Can't decide to go with the gold tones that are coming more and more popular or stick with the oil rubbed bronze that has been all over the place for the past few years? This pendant is for you!  Are you in need of more white and silver tones for your room? Don't worry, it comes in polished nickel, too.

The Hick Pendant isn't just for the kitchen, either.  Look how fab it looks in the bedroom:

in the living room:

even in the entryway:

Here are some more samplings of rooms with this gorgeous light  fixture:

This little beauty comes in 4 different finishes and 3 sizes.  I bet you could find one to fit every room of your home!

iPhone 4 White

After months ans months of holding out, I finally caved and purchased the new iPhone 4.  I. LOVE. IT.  Who knew a little gadget could do so much?  How did I live without it for so long?  It is soooo pretty, too...

Placing the phone on my husband's Banksy book doesn't hurt the phone's artistic value, either.

So far I have downloaded the Benjamin Moore app, a shopping list app, and the level app-- I would recommend all of these for any designer or designer-in-training!  My fav app has to be Pandora, though, which I can listen to IN MY CAR! So cool.  Sorry radio, you have been replaced.

As I am new to this whole app thing, I would love to hear what apps you couldn't live without.  Any fellow designers out there have any good suggestions?
