The Grace chair from Air is easily one of the prettiest chairs I’ve ever set eyes upon. Now if I could only get my greedy little hands on six of these sunken beauties, along with a lightly worn farmhouse table and a bigger kitchen or dining room I’d be one happy girl. {via Design Milk}
Designed by Mia Schmallenbach, the Deglon Meeting Knife Set comes with a paring knife, carving knife, 15cm utility knife, and a 20cm chef’s knife. All nested together in kitchen utility bliss.

Zerotreunouno is a ceramic herb garden inspired by old-fashioned milk crates. Six individual pots and a handled basket make it easy to carry herbs right to the kitchen counter or dining table. (Although I see myself using this as an art caddy of sorts.) {via A Cup of Jo}
photo and recipe Poires au ChocolatFor the past month cherries have been trying to seduce me. On a few occasions they’ve succeeded and I’ve returned home with over a pound in my bag. I’ll eat a handful here and there, but always end up tossing some that I don’t get to in time. By this point I’m tiring of eating them alone, and beginning to look forward to fall fruits. Until yesterday that is, when I saw this recipe for Black Cherry and Mascarpone Tart which I’m hoping to make this weekend. Don’t those glistening jewels of fruit make you want to dive right in?

Wall pockets are a genius storage solution and the creation of local shop Green Couch Design. They’d be perfect catchalls in the bathroom, the office or my favorite idea, the entry way.
Every so often I get in a mood where I want to take on something monotonous. I can get lost in a good stipple project or organize the hell out of my studio. In fact, I’m in one of those moods right now, but my fine tipped pens are all dried out and my studio is already in order. Enter pinhole art, which only requires a piece of paper and a thumbtack. Check and check. It’s on. {via Design*Sponge}

This is 100% my dream bike. The Public M8. Sort of sounds like a machine gun, no? I love the upright handlebars and the clean lines of the frame. It’s a close call, but I think cream is winning out over powder blue in the color race. I’d also be needing this stylin’ helmet to protect my noggin, even more so when you factor in how accident prone I can be. Watch out pedestrians!
{Recipe and photo Rock Recipes}I’m bummed that this perfectly summery raspberry brie panini isn’t in my lunch bag today. But, just maybe, it could be in yours.
