wolfum
I seem to swing two ways in decor, either really minimal or really graphic. It’s obvious which side of the spectrum wolfum lies on. (via crow and canary)

Precious
I can’t help but say the name of this mirror/jewelry box in a Golom-esque hiss, but Precious is much better than that. The side drawers are perfect for rings, bracelets, and baubles while the pull out hooks on the opposite are made for hanging necklaces. EVerything slides right back into place for a sleek look.

Teak Ice Cream Scoop
You might as well face it, this is the most gorgeous ice cream scoop ever. I have.

Wine Bottle Candle Holder
Slightly more refined than the actual wine bottles I used to hold candlesticks in college, one might say. These were inspired by the iconic spaghetti dinner scene in Lady and the Tramp, which only makes me love them more.

Emergency Cocktail Station
I’d like to gift every friend who becomes a new homeowner with one of these Emergency Cocktail Stations. Mainly because it’s amazing, but also because homeownership requires copious amounts of alcohol some days.

MYdrap
I reuse, I recycle, I want to take on composting. And I use way to many paper towels. I’ve tried to cut back, but there’s something to be said for the convenience and satisfaction of tearing one off the roll. MYdrap basically takes all of those things into consideration and sends them off in a greener direction. Tear one of the 100% biodegradable cotton napkins (or placemats) off their roll, then wash it up to six times before composting or recycling it. MYdrap is available in 20 vibrant colors, four patterns, and five sizes. No excuses left because they’re also really affordable. (Thanks, Anne!)

Door Porn
There’s not one thing wrong with the exterior of my house except for the sterile, under-ten-years-old feeling that I’d like to abolish. First on my list is adding some character to the front door. And while it’s not in the budget to buy a new one, I know a coat of fresh paint can do wonders. I’m torn between goldenrod and black at the moment, but anything has to be an improvement on the dull beige is currently is.

Wood Mantle Clocks
I have a mantle. I have no mantle clock. This one is modern perfection.

Recycled Sari Rope
Last week I ordered a skein of this recycled vintage sari rope from Material Recovery. Mine is full of white, goldenrod, and teal and I plan on stringing it back and forth under my mantle – just like a year-round garland!

By the time you’re reading this I’ll be Seattle-bound for a little event I’ve been invited to attend. I’ve never been to the PNW before and am incredibly stoked.
