"We find ourselves in the marginal group who still love a simple slice of toast and decided to design something to emphasize this as well as solve a problem that hasn't been addressed for a good 20 to 30 years," Pedersen says of this toast rack.

Here's the Michael Graves Design Toaster which is made from stainless steel and has a copper handle. Strum described how copper is a common material in kitchenware and how his team wanted to nod to the metal in the toaster design. The little toast icon is actually an digital display that counts down as your bread toasts.

And now, back to the book block: Take your loosely woven cloth and cut a swatch that is just shy of the length of your spine, and wide enough that it will wrap your block with approximately .5" on either side of the spine.

After the initial gluing has dried, take this strip and place it along the spine. Apply glue (not as liberally as before!) again so that it seeps through the cloth, but only along the spine. Take care that the glue doesn't get on the front or back of the book block. Again, set it aside to dry.

The show stopper was undeniably the Numi toilet from Kohler. The $6,400, remote-controlled toilet opens with a sensor, warms your tush and your feet while you sit, and will even play your iPod through the built-in speakers. Interested in low-flow flushes? The Numi can be set so that if you sit on it for less than a minute, it automatically flushes with the low-flow setting, and if you're there for longer than a minute, it will flush with the regular setting.
