I want a Bistro Table. And I want to set it in my entry way as a mini bar! (I don’t care whether it’s the double top or the rolling either.) How swell would it be to have a guest show up at your home, walk in the door and you offer them a cocktail? Super swell I’m thinking.

Posted In furniture, house and homeI’m loving these ISAK home accessories by graphic designer/illustrator Sandra Isaksson! She’s truly a master of the graphic pattern. New designs and products are added each season and I can’t wait to see what’s to come in the future. These are just a few of my favorite patterns and pieces from the line.

Holy moly, the Creemy Tea & Coffee Collection is absolutely to die for. I love all of the unexpected angles, spouts and extensions from the pieces. The monochromatic white really lets them shine.
Designer Karim Rasheed explains the bone china pieces best, saying “The British in me always loved tea, my Egyptian in me always loved coffee and I love them both when they are Creemy.”
A set of 20 illustrated recipe cards from Etsy seller My Zoetrope that are so colorful and adorable they made my afternoon. (Love the asparagus’s underwear!) You receive two of ten different original designs for only $6.00! The seller is quite the artist, too, so be sure and check out the rest of her work when you visit.
Ascaso is the proud manufacturer of espresso coffee machines for those truly diehard java lovers out there. They have five styles of professional coffee machines that would be at home in any 1950s kitchen. Really stylish as well as easy to use and available in a ton of brilliant colors. This beauty would be displayed smack dab in the center of my counter, all the better to show it off!

A few weeks ago I posted about some glass drinking straws I’d come across. And just yesterday I spotted this stainless steel version. They’re dishwasher safe and bendy.
Which do you like better?

Thanks to designer Paula Oh we can all rid ourselves of Power Vampires. You know, those appliances and whatnot that suck electricity even when you’re not actually using them. Her Hang On Outlet encourage you to unplug the little money suckers when not in use by incorporating a notch to hook the plug onto. Gotta love that smart design!

Posted In features, grand design, house and home, technologyFurniturea (fur-ni-chur-ah) designs, manufactures and sells contemporary wood furniture out of their Portland, Maine workshop. I love the clean lines and great palette options. Choose a style. Select one of their 22 standard colors. Or challenge them with a custom request.
Talk about a sh-sh-sh-shock when I cracked open the latest Pottery Barn catalogue this past weekend – unexpected graphic abundance. On occasional chairs no less. I expect this from Anthropologie, not PB. But with that said I absolutely love the fabrics and was immediately picturing no less than five chairs in my mediocre-sized living room.
I love the idea of these glass drinking straws. But I sort of can’t help but think that glass pipettes – you know, the kind you used in chemistry class – would work just as well for a fraction of the price.
