Good typography is always “in” with me, so I’m both happy and sad that it’s been a hit with the masses lately. This number tea towel set caught my eye in a big way the other day. Me thinks I may have a weekend project on my hands.

I’ve been really intrigued by bento boxes recently, and since I’m a huge fan of stainless this one caught my eye immediately. Of course it’s a great idea for food – lunch at the office, potluck meals, etc – but I also like the idea of using these food carriers to store other things like make-up and crafting supplies. A shelf lined with these guys would look so organized!
The OMA Lemon Squeezer is so pretty and functional that I’d proudly display in on a kitchen countertop instead of hiding it away in a cupboard. If I owned one I’d be forced to drink a lot more fresh squeezed orange juice and lemon drop martinis.
Today is soggy and cold which is a sad reversal of the 78º record high we experienced yesterday. Then it was windows down, hair blowing. Now it’s heater on, wipers going. Can’t wait to have some tea when I get home, although I swear I’ve had three cups at work this afternoon. I’m digging this Drop Stop Tea Strainer even though I don’t drink loose leaf tea all that often.
Simply pop off the lid of this sleek stainless steel tea straining device and fill the strainer with tea leaves. Hang the strainer over the side of your mug or tea cup for steeping. When you remove it, the spoon under the strainer will catch all drips and drops from getting on the counter or table.

Now this key holder is just clever. In fact, I think it’s the only one I’ve seen that I’d consider actually using. That’s saying a lot because I’m not even a use-a-decorative-bowl kinda gal for my keys. I’m more of a leave-em-in-my-purse-and-search-endlessly chick. Besides, I’d feel compelled to use it so that guests wouldn’t ceaselessly ask what it was for.
A few weeks ago I cleaned out my closet and everything is organized. It’s a small walk-in (as in walk in, stand, do a 180º and you’re out) and I’m having shoe storage issues. There is none. I’ve already been relegated to storing out of season shoes elsewhere. My ‘Winter Collection’ consists of around twenty pairs which are currently haphazardly strewn about the floor of the closet. I’m the sort of person who won’t wear something unless it’s right in front of me and I can see it, which leaves out buying a big plastic tub to throw them all in. I love these shoe racks, but am seriously short on wall space inside the closet as well as space on the rods which knocks out those hanging racks. What’s a girl to do?!
Anthropologie’s done it again with these chemistry lab vases. I love their versatility, you could use them in any room for quite a few things. I might even go a little crazy and use them for alcohol or pre-mixed drinks at a get together.
Designed by Stefan Lindfors, the Ego coffee cup and saucer are a perfect fit for the modern table. The unique design of the handle helps keep the cup steady in hand and on its saucer, which I find to be an impressive design feature. (As a side note, Ego is also available in dinnerware.)
These Quote/Unquote Bookends designed by Eric Janssen are my dream bookends. I’ve been lusting over them for well over a year now and feel my defenses wearing thin. I love what they imply with all those books lined up in between.
Another great entry from designboom’s dining in 2015 contest, Mey Kahn and Boaz Kahn’s fragile salt and pepper shakers are beautiful and interactive.
When was the last time you emphatically broke somthing? The ceramic salt and pepper shaker offers you the opportunity to do it! The product comes in one piece and by breaking it, you make it useful. Breaking is an experience of impulsive outburst. But this time is an act that builds rather than destroys. In a world of products whose shape is completely dictated by the designer, we enable the user to complete the design himself. The event of the breaking leaves its mark on the shaker and gives it its final, unique, one-of-a-kind appearance.
