Big Storage Baskets

For me, 2014 is quickly becoming the year of the large basket. How have I never realized they’re perfect for just about everything? Use one to house an indoor tree’s ugly plastic planter, grab another to store rolled up blankets in the living room, and put yet another next to your bed filled with magazines and books. The possibilities are endless as are the options, take a look at 14 of our favorites below.

ROW 1: Decorative Woven Storage Basket // Blue and White Basket // Bright Band 2 Handle Basket ROW 2: Snake Charmers Storage Baskets // Bolga Baskets // MAFFENS Basket ROW 3: African Senegalese Lidded Mini Storage Basket // Load Bearing Round Storage Bin ROW 4: Black Round Jute Bins // Round Belly Baskets (Set of 2) // Light House Braided Basket ROW 5: Blue Anansi Bolga Basket // Haute on the Range Basket // Yellow-White Stripe Laundry Hamper

1.5.2 Ray Long and Large Boards

I might have mentioned before that a little over a year ago I started collecting cutting boards. It took me approximately 2.4 seconds to fall head over heels for these two exceptional black walnut pieces – 1.5.2 Ray Long and 1.5.2 Ray Large. Food, design, and contemporary craft all combined in a perfect storm to create these beauties that would be just as at home on the wall as are as on your kitchen table.

Giant Cloud Cushions

While I’m thoroughly enjoying the crazy winter weather the country has been experiencing lately, I’m also dreaming of spring. Particularly those first days that are just warm enough to shed your coat and trepidatiously put on a pair of sandals. These Giant Cloud Cushions are beyond perfect for laying around in the grass and soaking up some rays (with SPF, of course). They’re enormous, waterproof, and comfortable – and my backyard just asked for a pair!

We Make Stuff

In the blogging world few things make me smile ear to ear like a “coworker” taking their love of making to a new level. We Make Stuff is the new venture of Funkytime founder Sibylle and her equally creative brother. The Berlin-based business creates high-quality handcrafted one of a kind pieces for urban interiors with wood, concrete, steel, and textiles as their signature trademark. Can’t wait to see what’s in store from this awesome new line!

Vege-table

I have a small, but ever-growing, collection of wooden cutting boards. Most are interesting because of the type of wood they’re made from or their shape, and I’m thinking that one of these just released Vege_table cutting boards from Seletti would make a fantastic addition. The tomato is my favorite!

Bundle Up in a Blanket

As I write this I’m trying to ignore the buds i saw on the tree in my front yard this morning. In January. I’m so not okay with that, I haven’t had nearly enough time in front of my fireplace yet this winter. Inside I’m keeping it as cozy as possible despite nature’s warnings – spicy candles, pots of soup, and of course plenty of blankets to bundle up in.
