I hope your parents kept a bag of all your old toys in the attic, because you’re about to want ’em back…
Ryan McElhinney claims to be an interior designer, but it’s pretty obvious that that’s a lie. The guy is a geek-crafter, through and through. He makes these awesome lamps by sticking action figures together and painting them – teamed with a simple shade they look brilliant. If you live in London you can see them live in the pubs Ryan has decorated; maybe you’ll bump into Elton John while you’re their – Ryan is rumoured to have designed the topper for his wedding cake (that’s gotta look awesome on his CV).
What are you doing still reading? It’s spring(ish) – there are car boot sales to raid – GO!

I had to google what a “car boot sale” was. For us Americans (from wikipedia): “Car boot/trunk sales or boot/trunk fairs are a mainly British form of market in which private individuals come together to sell household and garden goods. The term refers to the selling of items from a car’s boot or trunk.”
