What an great idea for summertime beverages – Ice Spoon Molds! I love that they eliminate yet another utensil to clean. Of course they’d last about .5 seconds in this mad Oklahoma heat, but that’s besides the point.
To me this loft looks like the perfect space to spend an evening gossiping and playing board games with friends. With maybe a few cocktails tossed in there for good measure, of course!

Can you imagine having a Table Tap sitting out to serve water at your next dinner party? Inspired by science (natch) and so much fun.

I love so much about this kitchen. The white cabinets with glass fronts and the bin pulls on the drawers. The pops of color where you least expect it, like in the row of uppermost cabinets and the light fixture. And what I can only suspect are four mismatched chairs lined up around the simple wood-topped table.

Posted In house and homeI can hardly wait to print out a stack of weekly menu cards that a print a day is offering as a free download! If I don’t have things planned out grocery shopping turns into a nightmare really quickly these days.
The MUJI Award 03 gold prize winner is Straw straw by Yuki Iida of Japan and I couldn’t love it’s sheer brilliance any more. It almost can’t be described as design so much as ingenuity. Iida took something that already exists in nature an simply gave it a renewed purpose. Lovely.
The original meaning of the term “straw” was “wheat straw”. Wall art depicting people using straws of wheat to drink from have been discovered from ancient Mesopotamian ruins. Straws of wheat are forms created by nature; they are materials that return to the soil. There’s no waste in either the shape itself, or in its actual existence.
Blank notepaper has to be one of my favorite things. It’s just so full of possibilities and potential. This paper towel tea towel is sheer awesomeness.
Not sure I’d put the Everything Holder in my shower because I’m extra weird about shower gunk and nastiness. But I’d love to have a few in the kitchen to catch utensils and tools that I use a lot. The tiles are available in black, white and red and attach with a few pieces of double-sided adhesive.

Out of sight, out of mind. Brilliant design from Jonas Trampedach.
Where Do tea bags go to die?. Usually squashed on the side of the saucer next to the cup, or if you have a little less decorum the table will probably be just fine. Jonas Trampedach has been observing the behaviour of tea drinkers and has evidently been learning a lot. Consequently he has developed a solution to the bag dilemma that is as simple as it is ingenious. With the ‘Tea bag Coffin’, the drinker can tidily bury the bag under the cup and out of the way. RIP.

Half Pint would be fabulous when used to serve someone breakfast in bed, having coffee with your guests, or maybe just as a reminder of kindergarten days gone by. So whimsical and fun!
