The idea behind these decorative medallions is actually wedding-based – make a few and put them on the wall behind your reception scrapbooking table to make it stand out. But I think they’d be sweet for a shower or even just as a wall decoration in my home office!

Posted In make it, wallsI’d give almost anything to be sitting at this table with a big mug of coffee, sketching my little heart out. Or pouring through cookbooks. Or writing a letter. (Those wood floors! That wallpaper! That exposed brick!)

This spice stack unit is ridiculously stylish and affordable. It holds salt and pepper as well as two other condiments of your choice. Yes, please!
Tom Dixon’s Black Slab Chair is so precariously balanced and minimal that I can’t help but stare. It’s even stackable, which I love. And it’s on sale.

Posted In furniture, grand design, house and homeWall vinyls + chalkboard = Sheer genius.
I can’t believe it’s taken so long to combine two of the hottest trends out there and come up with chalkboard wall vinyls! And right about now I’m wishing my office walls weren’t textured so that I could order one for myself…

I think I’ve made homemade soup a grand total of ONCE in my life. But if i owned this tureen and ladle I’d be more inclined to experiment!
…styled in bone china, safe for the oven, microwave and dishwasher. Its shape helps to retain heat, and the specially designed ladle is help upright by a little dimple in the base of the tureen.
Posted In grand design, kitchenHurrah for super functional design! The duality of Nicola from Bern’s Coat Hook & Coat Hanger is genius – it sticks to a conventional towel rail and once flipped over it turns into a coat hook.

I love my little red tin recipe box, but I have a serious crush on this one from the Assembly of Text. The open-lidded design is really appealing for easy access. The box includes twelve dividers and 100 recipe cards (but fits standard 5 x 3″ index cards as well).
One of my best memories of being little is my rocking chair. My grandmother bought it for my mom when she had me. She nursed me in, rocked me when I was sick, and later it was a home for my stuffed animal collection. I’m head over heels for the Mademoiselle Rocking Chair. The lack of arms might not be the most ideal for functionality, but wow, it sure is gorgeous!
The first in a series by artist Ayda Anlagan.
Every Drop Counts is a series of bowls where the bottom of the bowl is subtly inclined to create a whole new way of getting people to finish every last drop. With stories which end at the bottom of the food or with graphic narratives which conclude where the food accumulates, the user is encouraged to finish every last drop. It is the first of a series of objects which are designed to contribute in the reduction of food wastage in the domestic environment.
