My family loves to eat (heck, who doesn’t) and lucky me, they are not too picky with their food; nevertheless, I find it essential to have a bowl of fresh salad with every meal as we all know the importance of eating fresh vegetables. Now, we’re getting to a grey zone. I love lettuce in my salad, it’s green, it’s healthy and full of vitamins, the only catch is it’s hard to mix lettuce with the rest of the salad, as it can be a bit heavy and take up most of the bowl’s space. When I saw Hands On salad bowls I knew I found the perfect solution for this little hurdle. Continue reading →

One of my friends had a “design crisis” in one of her rooms. She had to do something with it. It seemed like nothing was right with that room. I’m not sure myself what was it exactly, I just knew that it didn’t work out. Sometimes you only need to change one thing in order to change everything. That is exactly what happened to my friend. She got the unique Phrena lamp by Karl Zahn, which can serve both as a table and a pendant light, and instantly the room had transformed – It was magic. Continue reading →

One of my dear closest friends is what I call ‘A professional Hostess’. Her dinner parties are known for their perfect ambiance, gorgeous food, table setting and unique servings. Every time she holds one of her famous dinners I know I’m up for another lesson in class and style of elegance and sophistication combined with coziness and warmth; as I said – perfection.

Well, last time I was there, I was taught the art of small details that make all the difference. By that I refer to Skagerak Denmark Plint. Little ceramic bowls on a wooden Teak that give a feeling for detail and sensitivity to the whole. Continue reading →

Guilty as charged – I like series. I like the feeling of continuity, the feeling that something good doesn’t necessarily have to end right away. I like the fact that a series is usually focusing on a single thing from different aspects, which means a thorough deep look. I like series that surprise you with every part of them, that sparkle your mind with imagination. I like series.

When I came across Tord Boontje Thinking Of You – Here, Now and Forever collection, I knew I found yet another series that I love. Memories of ancient, ornate, detailed objects are translated into metal covers. These intricate covers contrast with the simplicity of the empty glass jar at the center. When assembled, they are perfect as a tea light cover or glass with water to hold a flower, or as a stand-alone decorative item. Continue reading →

There’s nothing like a practical gift. Of course that when you’re a kid this is probably the last thing you’d want to get, but as a grown up adult, you realize that practical gifts mean just as much, if not more, than other gifts. When my friend bought me the Shell Compact Digital Scale, I knew she was a good friend. Why? Because she knew I needed something like that to cover up my poor cooking skills. I love people who can “cook with their eyes”, unfortunately, I most certainly can’t. My friend knew this and came for my rescue with this cool cooking tool. Continue reading →

When it comes to style, we all have our own thoughts and ideas; it is pretty much a matter of taste. I guess there is one thing most people will agree about – we’re all looking for something real good. We’re looking for real good design, real good style, and a real good product. Sometimes a picture is worth more than a 1000 words, in the case of Real Good Chair, I believe one video will change the way we view chairs, and their functions. This is definitely one of the best ideas I’ve seen in a long time. Continue reading →

I confess, I am a bookworm. I love books and whenever I pass along a book store I simply can’t resist getting just one more book for my never ending collection. ‘The more the merrier’ I tell myself, however as books are starting to pile in every corner of my house, the lookout for good book storage solutions is inevitable. And if you’re looking for a functional item with a touch of style, like me, it becomes a not-so-easy task. Continue reading →

Nowadays it seems like most of us are missing the good old days… Oh, the good old days… When kids used to play outside instead on the computer, when we used to sit together on the porch and enjoy a cool evening breeze instead of meeting up with friends via Facebook. I have to say, every now and again I find myself longing for those good old days, and when I saw the Bollard Oil Lamp, I knew that I found myself a lovely item that would bring back a bit of that good old feeling.
