Pedra Coasters

I can distinctly picture the set of brown agate coasters that sat on our coffee table when I was a kid. I hated them. And now I can’t seem to get enough of the stuff, my how times change. Although I’m certain the jewel tones don’t hurt either. (via Alice)

Popsicles!

Not to sound full of myself, but I’m pretty sure this is the be all, end all of popsicle roundups. There’s a little something for everyone: the foodies, the purists, the ones who prefer frozen yogurt, the ones who prefer a little alcohol, everyone. Tweny-five options to be exact. The post I did last summer on the cold guys was one of DC’s most viewed ever, so I thought you’d all be up for another round – was I right?

Amorphous Nesting Tables

Drooling over these pretty nesting tables this morning. I’m not usually into bright colors when it comes to my furniture, but in this case I think that’s just what makes the tables so fantastic. Originally designed by Ercol in 1956, they’re perfectly retro yet modern.

Cheese Board

Puns are my life, so this 100% Grade A Cheese Board from PLANT suits me quite nice. The slice of Swiss is made of a unique composite that has some of the same qualities as a marble cheese board, if you chill it in the fridge it will keep your cheeses fresh and cool longer than a wooden board. It’s also heat-resistant, so you can place a hot pot on it as a trivet.
