If you are designing a house and creating the ultimate home theatre room why not consider a popcorn machine. Many of my friends consider popcorn an essential experience when they go to the movies. Sure there are microwave versions, but there is something special about movie theatre popcorn. Pictured here are two popcorn machines that are available to the general public and not just commercial establishments. Each machine is electrically powered and uses traditional methods of oil and corn to create the popcorn. A machine such as this could also benefit restaurants, churches, bars, and other places where they may need to provide snacks for their patrons. Via.


One of my picks for coolest home products for this year is the T-Grill by Grand Hall. For over 30 years Grand Hall has been a leading innovator and supplier of gas related products worldwide. Probably no one knows more about outdoor grilling than the Australians and well known chef Neil Perry has given his approval to the fast and efficient T-Grill. The heart and soul of this modern gas bar b que grill is the dual ceramic infrared burners capable of producing up to 24 thousand BTU's, which can be turned down for slow cooking. Other features include porcelain coated cast iron grates, doubled walled insulated lid, and stainless steel appointments that accentuate the T-Grills modern appearance. $1000 Available here from Grand Hall.

Busey is a home bar that offers several options to make it functional in many houses. First off it is portable, coming with wheels. Portability is important since a home bar is often used for entertaining and then put away when not in use to maximize space. This version also opens and closes nearly doubling its size when in use. I like this feature since it helps the home bar work in smaller spaces. Further, it conceals the contents inside which you may not want visible to all guests. For example, if your mother-in-law comes over, you may not want her to see the booze inside the cabinet. When she is gone you can mix yourself up a tottie and shazam you have "coping juice". Busey has a cool modern look with stainless steel and black complimenting one another and then the finish of nice glass shelves. Measurements: 31"x 32" x 45". Via.

I was recently looking for a home mail box and was astounded with all the different versions and varieties. What first struck me was the size of some versions. Frankly, many were just too large. Now I don't receive a great many packages and if I do they normally are placed near the front door. Many of the other versions I saw were not very attractive. There are a lot of things that you can go cheap on, but having something that takes away from the curb appeal of a home is a problem for me. Eventually, I came across the Postino home mail box. Postino is simple, small, and fits the purpose. It is available in stainless steel or black. Measurements: 7.5" x 14" x 4". Price: $63. Available: here.
