From Janet:
Ever try plugging in your Mac and cell-phone charger at the same time? Thanks to the proliferation of bulky plugs on home appliances and electronics, many of our dual sockets can accommodate only one plug at a time. Designed by a woman engineer, the 360 Electrical Rotating Duplex Outlet solves the problem. Both the top and bottom sockets rotate in either direction a full 360 degrees, providing the flexibility needed to make full use of both outlets. Available in four colors at Ace Hardware for $11.99.

We like Heath Ceramics’ 2-by-12-inch matte white tiles as an alternative to the usual glossy subway tile. Here’s an added incentive: Free shipping until May 8.

Here’s a clever idea when space is tight: tuck appliances in the underused area below a stairway. From London-based Domane interior design group.

Netherlands-based architects Hofman Dujardin designed this custom Corian kitchen unit for an Amsterdam apartment. The curved corners and recessed drawer pulls are particularly noteworthy. To see more of the firm’s work, go to Hofman Dujardin.
