I’m always looking for somewhere to hang my hoards of necklaces, bracelets, etc because if something gets tossed in a drawer it stays there. I end up forgetting about the lovely piece I just Had To Have and never wear it. This mini coat rack jewelry stand is a great way to remedy that and display your jewels in a fun way. And everyone knows mini=fun!
Crystal clear Expansif Mugs are crafted out of sturdy heat-resistant Pyrex, so you can enjoy your morning fix without burning yourself. But I am wondering just how easy it would be to grab that piece passing itself off as a handle. My luck it would slip from my grasp and I’d end up scalding myself anyway. Oh, the price we sometimes pay for grand design!
Mothology is chalk-full of vintage inspired objects and furnishings for your home. Every single piece looks like it was handpicked at an estate sale just for you and looks like it carries a story all its own.
Judge me if you must: I’m not a huge fan of ice cream. I like the soft serve kind and frozen yogurt, but not so much the kind you can just buy in the grocery store. No real reason, there are just loads more things I’d like to digest. All of that said it doesn’t stop me from wanting one of these Cuisipro Ice Cream Scoop & Stacks. I just like the shape “scoop” they make and who knows, maybe I’d pick up a mad ice cream addiction…

Posted In grand design, kitchenVivaTerra has an amazing collection of recycled glass pieces. It can’t help but make you feel warm and fuzzy inside when you own a piece that’s both beautiful and sustainable. And then when you buy a piece you can rationalize it with the thought that I did it for the environment!
I haven’t checked in on Fishs Eddy in a few months, so the aspiring architect in me was thrilled to find a bevy of floor plan plates and platters. I love the stark black lines of the plans against simple white shapes of the pieces. Bonus: they’re really reasonably priced.
I love collecting sugar and cream sets even though I rarely use them. Suppose I just like how all the pieces work together and their relationships to one another. My latest find? The Trio Sugar and Cream Set. Take ’em apart for tea time and stack ’em up for storage. So, so pretty.

Love the design behind the double-tier produce basket. First, you can opt to separate fruits and veggies that don’t need to head for the crisper. Second, it allows the produce to have 360ยบ of air circulation which (supposedly) keeps it fresh longer. Third, it’s just cool to look at. (#3 is my favorite reason!)

I can’t read a word on the site, but one thing is for sure – the Fold Flat Chair is brilliant. I say we mutiny again those horrible gunmetal grey folding chairs and fill banquet halls worldwide with these. They’re so perfect I doubt legs would even stick to them. At least here’s to hoping…
John Murphy is a gifted photographer for sure, but what I’m really loving are the frames he displays his work in on his site. Beautiful baroque-style ones with splashes of brilliant color. Let’s just say there are plans in the works for a wall full in my home and leave it at that. Ahem.
