The Kids@Work desk and chair were designed by Ora Ito for Habitat’s Very Important Products for Kids Collection. So modern and sleek. I love the lines the silhouette creates. Preschool and kindergarten classrooms the world over need to be filled with these!
Shrimp and Bacon Carbonara that’s looks incredibly sinful. I’ll give an A+ to anything with bacon, so i can’t wait to try this one out. Did I mention I’m drooling??
These Staffan pillows by Mjuk are dreamy. I want to fill my couch with them – they look perfectly huggable. Once again wrap something in a “sweater” and I’m sold!

Posted In accents, house and homeCHOW has a great article up right now about the often underused bread box. Did you know that by using one you can extend the life of your bread by 2-3 days because the box helps maintain optimal moisture and levels and circulation. This also gives you the option of buying fresh, preservative-free bread because it will last longer! And if you’re going to have something sitting out on your kitchen counter for the world to see, well, it had better look good! These two are my faves.
Limousine White Bread Bin: So vintage chic with its gloss enameled steel shell with chrome wire handle and magnetic closure. Features a croissant/bagel rack for small breads and generous main compartment for a hearty loaf.
Stainless Steel Bread Canister: Super slick stainless steel box with tight fitting lid to guarantee freshness. And no one will even know what’s inside!
I’ve been waiting (semi) patiently for you to arrive…

Posted In just a noteI’m in love with the dry wit and tongue in cheek humor that is an integral part of Marc John’s illustrations. And he believes that humor leads to truth, which is awesome. And true.
“I use watercolours in ways you shouldn’t. I make my own sketchbooks. If I smoked, I’d roll my own. I’d rather draw than rent a movie. Don’t try to start a conversation with me about recent films. I haven’t seen any. I play the guitar. If I was a hobo, I’d learn to play the ukulele, because you could fit one in your duffle bag. My artwork and the materials I use are quite compact. You could fit my studio in a large suitcase. I hope you like my drawings, or at least some of them.”
How can you not love that??

In honor of all the storminess going on nationwide at the moment. The Dark & Stormy is really just the addition of dark rum to already tasty ginger beer.
Ingredients:
– Juice of 4 Limes
– 1 Cup Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
– 1 Large piece of Ginger, juiced
– ½ Cup Agave Nectar
– 4 Cups Sparkling Mineral Water
– 1/8th Tsp. Ground Clove
– 1/8th Tsp. Ground Cardamom
– Dark & Stormy (optional): Organic Dark Rum
There are a couple of ways you can juice the ginger – either in a juicer, or you can grate it on a microplane and then squeeze the juice out of the pulp using cheesecloth or a strainer. Mix all of the ingredients together in a pitcher and serve over ice. If you feel like a real drink, add some dark rum for a Dark & Stormy.

I would love to entertain with this 3-piece Ribbon Coffee Set. Can’t you just imagine bringing out the coffee pot, creamer and sugar bowl on a tray and setting it down in front of guests? Love it – so vintage-modern.
Oh my, these Sweet & Salty Honey Peanut Cupcakes are just what the doctor ordered. The cupcake doctor, that is. Sweet and salty is such an amazing combination that there’s no way these can be anything less than amazing.
Just Another Day has the most adorable, cleanest stationary. I love the simple shapes and fantastic type choices. Guess that’s what you get when the designer is an art director by day and paper lover by night…
