Guess who’s got a new obsession? Yep, this gal! The other day I spent an obscene amount of time looking up unique ceramics, when I came across Ben Medansky’s work. I was especially drawn to the quirky styling of these products, I think that is what I love most.
Excuse me while I do a quick google search for ceramics classes in Chicago…
Happy Friday!
This past weekend, I received an e-mail from roche bobois letting me know that sweet reader Monica had suggested this coffee table might be right up my alley, and Monica, you are absolutely right!
I thought it’d be fun to round up a couple more geometric items for the home, I’m thinking that planter must be mine and soon. Also, I’ve never really perused Land of Nod before but there are some cute things there that even the childless can enjoy. Good to know.
Thanks Monica for thinking of me, someday, that coffee table will be mine! xo
Here’s one from the “duh, everyone knew that, what took you so long to figure it out?” department, but hey plants sure do transform a home, don’t they? My husband and I went nuts the other day and brought home some plants. I cannot believe how nice it is to be surrounded by these green beauties, our living room smells great and I have someone to talk to when I’ve been staring at this screen nonstop and gone a bit loopy.
Of course, when you purchase plants, they come in ugly, generic pots so I’ve been on the hunt for pretty planters. Naturally, my first stop was Etsy and I found myself bookmarking a ton of real cute finds. Do you guys have any shops you’d like to recommend, I’m actually pretty excited about filling my home with unique, handmade planters.

Add this to my list of projects I’d love to take on some day: amazing, gigantic knit rugs. Way to get ahead of yourself, Dennise… says everyone, all the time.

2012 was the year of the knit and in 2013 I hope to continue my unofficial textiles studies starting with drooling over these furry beauties. How much do you wanna bury your face or bare feet in these?

Raise your hand if you procrastinated and are doing some last-minute shopping today of all days? *Sheepishly raises both hands* Yep, I’m one of those facing the crazy crowds today, wish me luck.
On a brighter note, how cute are those clocks and that space! I’d like to imagine that if I had those clocks I’d never be late and I’d never procrastinate, but let’s face it, beautiful clocks may only distract me further.
If you celebrate, happy holidays friends, if not, hooray for the day(s) off! xo

While we are on the subject, Santa, if you do in fact read my blog, I wouldn’t mind these babies under my tree as well. Got it? Good.
I think I’m a little late at posting about this clothing rack as it was apparently all the rage awhile back but I can’t resist posting about it as it represents exactly what I’ve been looking for. Yep, still on the hunt for a clothing rack, my husband started building me one but, work has just gotten in the way and the poor dear has barely had time to lay eyes on his garage.
A clothing rack like this would suit my needs perfectly, simple, unobtrusive and just the perfect size. Sigh. Santa, if you’re listening, if I found this under my tree on Tuesday, I’d be one happy, happy gal.
Yesterday was a day full of errands and appointments so it was nice to come home and finally put up our tree. For the second year in a row, we opted for a real tree and boy, our living room smells glorious!
Happy Monday!
