Big utensils photoprinted on dishtowels. Kind of the modern equivalent of those humongous wooden forks and spoons everyone had on their kitchen walls back in the day, only much more chic!
It’s been awhile since I flipped the pages of a catalog, oohing and aahing over every other page. But after returning home from my last trip to Pennsylvania to find the latest CB2 catalog waiting in my mailbox, that’s exactly what happened. Everything just feels so clean and fresh and ready to slide right into my life. If I hit the lottery or got a big bonus tomorrow, these are the pieces I’d snatch up first…
1. galvanized 12 bottle wine rack 2. go-cart 3 shelf table 3. engine barstools
4. perspective mirror 5. metal trunks 6. twiggy side table 7. pulley pendant lamp
8. gear candleholder
I can’t read a syllable on 32 Via dei Birrai’s site, but I’d still like to drink all seven varieties after work tonight and keep the bottles.
Yesterday I was introduced to the work of Alexander Ovchinnikov and was immediately drawn to his silhouetted children’s book images. So sweetly dark and freakish. Right up my alley.

Warm Hazelnut Toddy
1 1/2 ounces Frangelico
1/2 cup hot water
2 tablespoons lightly whipped heavy cream
In a mug, stir together the Frangelico and hot water. Spoon the whipped cream over the top before serving.
The Oiva tablewear collection consists of five cups, three bowls, three plates and a teapot. Am I crazy to think that these are the only things I could ever need in my kitchen cupboards? Mad love, I tell ya. (Supposedly available here as of Fall 09…) {via SeeSaw Designs}
I love the fragility of the Bubble Bank. Too bad you have to break the glass to get at the cash… or is it?
I become obsessed with the most random everyday things. Like these commercial straight-sided jars. The instant I saw them I wanted them. Just to put things in. Things to display within their glass jail cell walls. A museum of sorts with ever-evolving exhibits.
