Love how “some assembly required” these Mechano chairs look. I want the bright yellow ones in my kitchen so badly.
the mechano chair was more than likely infuenced by the popular british toy with a similar name. made of durable powder coated steel, the chair is available in colorful blue, red, white, or yellow. we could easily see these for use in cafes or as an accent piece.

I really envy people who have the knack for just creating recipes out of the blue. Like the creator of this Key Lime Dream Ice Cream had been making tons of key lime pies this summer and thought “What the hay? Let’s turn it into some ice cream.” I can’t do that. But I’m very, very thankful for those who can!

I need the Twice As Nice Double Timer in my kitchen. I’ve been making a lot of dinners lately that require a few pots to be going at the same time and using both my oven and microwave timers to keep things on track. Pathetic. This little thingamajig is the answer to my prayers. And as a bonus cute and retro-y.

The craziest thing about this Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Ice Cream is that there are, in fact, no actual bagels harmed in the making of it. There is an incredible mix of two ice cream flavors – cream cheese and cinnamon – as well as Jack Daniel’s-soaked raisins and an option to top the finished product with bagel chips. Sounds like something I might create after a night of drinking, um, hot cocoa with friends.

Steamer trunks carry an old-fashioned coolness about them that never seems to get old. Add a few drawers and cool storage compartments like this Taka Trunk and you have an incredibly functional piece of furniture that becomes timeless.
Aside from despising the name of the Funky Diva, I love everything else about it. Fizzy orange perfection.
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 oz Leblon cachaça
– 1/2 oz Aperol liqueur
– 1/2 oz Grand Marnier
– dash of simple syrup
– blood orange, cut into chunks
– Champagne
Muddle blood orange and simple syrup. Shake with all the ingredients except Champagne. Pour into a tall glass and top with Champagne.

The moment I saw the recipe for this Pink Lemonade Ice Cream I got that puckery feeling in my mouth and started to salivate. And that light pink hue is gorgeous!

Danish designer Louise Campbell’s latest work is modest and amazing: a trio of simple white bone china jars held together with pastel rubber bands. (Each jar comes with six so you can color-code your little heart out!) The storage containers are made by ceramics house Kähler.

I don’t have a dog. I want a dog. Preferably a French Bulldog, but only if it’s from a shelter or rescue. But really any pup will do!
This eiCrate would be the perfect alternative to an ugly old crate. You can even purchase covers and half beds to put inside. So cute and well-designed to boot. Love it.

This week we’re going to dabble in a bit ‘o ice cream making. I’m not the biggest ice cream eater out there (shhh!), but even I would be hard-pressed to turn down any of these drool-worthy, creamy concoctions.
What’s your favorite flavor out there? With so many to choose from I still tend to head for old favorites like mint chocolate chip.
If ice cream were a warm, fuzzy blanket this recipe for Banana Pudding Ice Cream would be the knitting instructions. YUM.
