Throw away your boring cork coasters and make room a set of coasters that are made from real street signs. The coasters are designed by Boris Bally, an artist who loves to turn abandoned street signs into art. You can pick up a pack of four street sign coasters for $65 from Elsewares, "Guests go wild for these stylish coasters made from salvaged American street signs. Carefully finished and sealed by hand. Handmade in Providence, RI."
