Pirate sheet-set

$110 gets you a set of Beyond Bedding's Treasure Cove Pirate bedding -- comforter, shams, and a collection of appliques. It's markketed as "Children's Bedding," but a) it comes in queen size, and b) grownups make better pirates than kids do. As IO9's Annalee Newitz says, "Basically you can turn every object in your immediate vicinity into something aaaaaaarrrguably more awesome."

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I’d prefer a One Piece anime art

And conversely, this sheet set doesn’t really seem like something you’d put in a kid’s room unless your last name was Vader: http://www.beyond-bedding.com/black-diamond-jacquard-modern-twin-kids-bedding-set.html

  I can see a potentially huge demographic for this sheet set: a family that cosplays Addams Family 24/7! Imagine how many sets they’ll sell! Not that it’d be awkward or anything, of course…

  As a kid, I’d have loved that.

I don’t think I could have sex in a room decorated like that without fearing a police raid.

  Police raid? You’d need to watch out for the British navy!

    Unless that’s exactly the kind of party you’re planning.

I think the two outdoors shots in the windows are actually the same picture, just with different brightness filters on them.
