How sweet is this lemon measuring equivalent chart from The District Domestic? I think I’m going to turn mine into a magnet for the fridge. (Did I mention I need to buy a new fridge for my house? Ugh!)
I really, really want this lovely large tea cup by Etsy seller bailey doesn’t bark.

Posted In kitchenAs soon as summer’s hot, hot heat rolls around I turn into an iced tea fiend. Nevermind the instant sugar-saturated stuff – I want the real, fresh-brewed thing. I usually settled for Lipton’s Cold Brew, which are large tea bags that (duh) brew in cold water. But I really like the idea of this iced tea pitcher that has its own diffuser, too.

I’m semi-obsessed with food presentation, or “plating” as the pros refer to it. This isn’t to say that my normal evening dinners don’t end up tossed haphazardly onto my dish, but I really love the idea of taking the time to artfully arrange everything. Not so much so that you feel horrible dismantling it in order to actually eat the food, but creatively none the less. These incredible frame plates give you the perfect canvas to do just that.

There are so many fantastic pieces, but these are the ones that really stood out to my design style. Apparently I have a thing for soy sauce dispensers – who knew.

Designer Sarah Finn takes the thinnest of veneers, and laser cuts them into two distinctive patterns for these incredible napkin rings – one with stars and the other with small “s” incisions. Each pattern is available in two different woods – a reddish mahogany and a white maple. They come in sets of six, flat-packed because you bend them into shape yourself. (If you look close enough you can see the little tabs…)

I haven’t gone on a picnic in years which is really sad. But I only like them when they’re well-planned and thought out and that takes, well, time. I’m thinking that these little DIY oilcloth placemats that hold both your silverware and napkin might give me the excuse I need to head out to the closest park and share some food with the ants! Check out the full tutorial to make a set of your own.

I’m really into retro-style kitchenwares lately, so this Cafe Style Coffee for One is right up my alley. The top half is a french press that is capable of brewing both coffee or tea one cup at a time. It’s available in ten different colors, but I’m really digging this aqua version.

For some reason I’ve always wanted to own a citrus juicer like this one. I’d set it proudly upon my counter with my Kitchen-Aid mixer and Cuisinart coffee maker and call it a day. Now it seems like at least the first part of that equation is in my budget. I’m loving the color and style of this little guy. And surprise, surprise – it’s from Martha’s Collection.
I’m in a major lamp lovin’ phase as of late and this is my favorite of my favorites: the Ceramic Rise & Fall Lamp. Some of you may have noticed this little gem in the last issue of Domino. It caught my eye and there was no going back. You can control the height of the lamp and the concentration of light by adjusting the pulley system. This one’s going to need to be mine at some point.
