ShareHappy National Cereal Day! There’s bound to be a lot of milk-related incidents today, and this funky bowl by Fred & Friends takes the idea of crying over spilled milk to new heights.
from Fred & Friends
The Spilt Milk bowl is made from flexible silicone, making it virtually impossible for small hands to break. Now if only it could defend against the kids dumping half a gallon of milk all over the counter, it’d be perfect.
ShareEvery time I think I’m totally over the bird trend, something comes along and makes me want to give our feathered friends another chance. Today, it’s these Rocking Birds from West Elm.
These little guys charm me with their whimsical wooden rockers, and I think they’d look great on a bookshelf in a kids room, don’t you?
ShareHere we are in August, and somehow it’s time to start thinking about back-to-school. I swear school starts earlier every year! I’ll admit that my school days are long past, but I can’t help but wax nostalgic about the smell of freshly sharpened pencils and the squeak of new shoes. And so, my inner middle-schooler gave a little cheer when I spied this so-old-school-it’s-new-school basket rack from Hertz Furniture.
Picture this rack in a pool house or mud room, keeping wet swimsuits, muddy shoes, and sports equipment stashed in style. The best part? The rack comes in 20 colors ranging from vibrant teal to neutral putty. What do you think, would you bring a little locker room chic into your home?
ShareThe website might be in Norwegian, but I think this gorgeous moth wallpaper from Fargerike transcends language, don’t you?
Real moths in my house? Freak me out. But delicate, colorful moths on my walls? Yes, please.
ShareConfession time: I can’t get the first slice of pie out of the dish without making a complete mess of it (I usually glop some whipped cream on top to try and hide my shame). Maybe one of these gorgeous acrylic pie servers would help distract from my ineptitude?
Pretty, right? They’d be the perfect accompaniment to a gift of homemade pie. After all, pie is the gift that keeps on giving. Isn’t that how the saying goes?
ShareWas I the only kid that went through an origami phase? I think I was more drawn to all of the pretty paper than I was to actually mastering the craft. This amazing Origami Lamp from Moth makes me wish I’d been more diligent in my studies:
Or, maybe I should just leave this to the experts. With my luck I’d start a fire.
ShareI love air plants. In fact, I have a sweet little air plant at my desk, hanging out in a glass globe. The globe is fine, but wouldn’t one of these Air Plant Pods dress up my cubicle?
I love that they mimic a sea creature, all while supporting your air plant in high style.
ShareI’ll cut to the chase: this “My First Autobahn” Road Tape is just plain clever. Turn your kitchen floors into the Indy 500 in seconds!
ShareIt is just plain hot outside and all I really want to eat is ice cream. I think I’ll dress up my sundae with some of these wooden ice cream spoons from Sucre. Pretty sweet, no?
They give me fond memories of the wooden sample spoons at the ice cream parlor we frequented when I was a kid, made chic with stripes. I loved strawberry as a kid and pick anything caramel or coconut flavored today. What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
ShareJewelry storage is so tricky, don’t you think? I have my accessories draped on hooks and dumped in trinket bowls, and the whole effect comes across as sloppy. I think the clear solution is a Bling Box.
You can customize your Bling Box with dozens of backgrounds, but my favorite is this painterly scene by artist Amy Sia. I think it would elevate my jumbled bangles and tangled pedants to a work of art.
