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!)

Tulip Spaghetti Fork
Forget the polite fork-with-tablespoon way of eating spaghetti, check out this conceptual project – the Tulip Spaghetti Fork. So much more elegant and refined.

Whiskey Stone Shot Glasses
I love both the look and the principle behind this set of whiskey stone shot glasses. Stick them in the freezer and they take on the same qualities as a whiskey stone, keeping things cold without watering down or compromising their taste. (via Liquorious)

Happy Weekend.
{via ffffound}
+ I’ve been munching on Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts over the past month, now I’m tempted to make my own (decidedly more healthy) version.
+ These velvet pumpkins are a luxe twist on Halloween decor.
+ A few more October desktop wallpapers 1, 2, 3
+ I want to visit this cafe that looks like it’s been flipped on its side.
+ Crazy about this modern crepe paper lantern project!
+ Knitted graffiti on a bridge in Australia.
+ I kill everything, including succulents, but I still want to make a terrarium.
+ What does your Facebook portrait say about you? (I’m possibly balding, among other things.)
+ In love with this raggedly striped bathroom.
+ I want to plan a road trip based around roadside motels.
+ Who doesn’t need a trapeze in their home?!
+ Have a writing deadline? Check out Write or Die.
+ I want to move into this beautiful gray space. Or at the least, paint my living room and main hallway.
Happy Weekend!

Stackable Oven-to-Table Cookware.
Every serious cook would love to have a double oven, but in this day and age multifunctionality and storage space mean a lot. That’s why most of us love a good oven-to-table piece of cookware. And with the holidays looming these pieces by designer Christian Bjørn are spot on. Three stackable sizes allow for countless configurations in the oven or on the table. The scalloped cut-outs allow air to circulate while in the oven, ensuring food is evenly heated, heat-resistant silicone feet protect surfaces, and you can keep dinner warm by placing tea lights in a base dish beneath a serving dish.

Bike Shelf.
After visiting friends in San Francisco and New York who lived in the standard small apartment, furniture maker Chris Brigham saw a need for well-designed bike storage and took it upon himself to create the Bike Shelf. The solid wood conceals a steel square rod mount for hanging a bike, doubling as shelf space. It’s now a permanent addition to knife & saw’s shop.
