Ampersand Monogram Dish Towel.

I own a monstrous collection of dish towels, so many in fact that they inhabit an entire shelf in one of my kitchen cabinets. I think I could make room for one more though… so long as it was one of these sweet Ampersand Monogram Dish Towels. (Great holiday gift, dontcha think?)

Reflect Mirror.

I love the seemingly obvious, yet absolutely brilliant twist in this design. The perfect piece to hang inside my entry way. I’ll take one Reflect Mirror, the black please!

The reflect mirror with its 90° angle can be used as a tray to place your keys, sun glasses, jewelries, coins etc so that you won’t forget to take them with you after checking yourself out in the mirror. For men, the angled portion of the mirror allows you to see below your chin when shaving, which can come in handy as well. Also, with a total of 8 holes on the rear of each mirror, reflect mirror can be placed almost anywhere on the wall, including corners.

Soup + Sandwich Tray Duo.

I’ve been eating a lot of soup and sandwich lunches lately (RE: every day for the past two weeks!) and am thinking this cute soup and sandwich tray duo would come in big-time handy. Bonus: I love my dinnerware to be stark white. I need this.

Coin Storage.

With the holidays only a hop, skip and a jump away I’m doing some major penny pinching. Between flying home to Pennsylvania and buying and shipping gifts my bank account is on a major diet. Every penny counts and I’d love to have one of these Coin Storage banks to keep track of them all. It’s actually a bank/tray combo, so you can set your keys or cash right on top. And when it’s time to empty out, just pop off the bottom lid and you’re all set! {via Better Living Through Design}

Mini Pedestals.

I love a good cake plate, which is what I see these mini pedestals as in my mind. Or maybe it would hold my perfume bottles. Or spice bottles. Each vintage base is unique and handcrafted out of a vintage powder coated brass candlestick holder base and detachable oval corian top. Because the base and top detach, the possibilities really are endless! {via Two Brunettes}

Classic With a Twist.

This is actually more of a House Swoon. I love the classic structure of this Charleston, South Carolina home that has a few unexpected elements thrown in. Like the double staircase to the front door and the slim windows flanking it on three sides. I adore black shutters on a white home and all of those lovely trees and surrounding greenery only help to enhance the entire structure. But my very favorite part? The hanging porch lamp to be sure.

Tin Can Lids.

New graduate Jack Bresnahan exhibited a series of biodegradable plastic lids that repurpose used tin cans into household containers in a New Designers show last June. A set of nine in all, which transform the cans into objects including a vase, soap dispenser, sugar caster, tea and coffee canisters, toothbrush holder, money box and desk tidy. Love these, very smart design at work.

Bright + Lovely Restaurant.

This has to be one of the very first rooms I ever bookmarked back in the day. (And by “back in the day” I mean before I ever started blogging.) I’m not sure where it came from or who is responsible for the decorating, but my-oh-my it’s lovely. White, light gray and yellow is always such an eye-catching combination but the true star of this room is the natural lighting. Goes to show how it can make such a huge difference in a room’s ambiance. The tufted yellow booths and armchairs provide that extra little something that keeps me staring and wishing I owned such a place.

Happy Weekend.

Wouldn’t you love to be spending at least one night of your weekend here? That tent is beautiful. Whatever your plans are I hope you have a grand time! I’ll be going to the OU/Idaho State game (Boomer Sooner!) and whipping up some tailgating treats.
