Chair Pads!

These are SO AWESOME! They are Chair Pads by Suchenhui and they are really really cool. As you can see from the picture, you can put these on chairs or benches or whatnot. They are way fun.

Anyway, thanks to Poppytalk for showing these off.

A Couple Design Public Things

How cool is this Ferm Living Power Pole wall sticker? I love it so much. What an awesome room! Anyway, see this at Design Public.

Also at Design Public, this Flensted Butterfly mobile. I have the bunny mobile that I love so much. That butterfly one is so cute!

Magic Globe Lights

I'm a sucker for colored lights. I really like these because of the shape, and I like that you can float them in a pool, if you happen to have a pool. I wonder, though, whether you could somehow hang them. I'd like them in trees, too. You can pick some up from Grandin Road.

Tea Cups

At $55 each, these teacups from Peek Keep are on the pricey side, but I love the dainty design, and I love that you can get them in aqua.

Lumens Light + Living

I discovered Lumens Light + Living; when my husband bought me these birds for a Christmas present (only, we got blue ones). I think we are going to put them in the baby's room. Anyway, it was fun looking through the different things they also sell. This place has a variety of designers and products which can make for a fun, modern look in your house.

Pillows!

Someday I want all sorts of plush pillows. I don't know what I'll do with them. Maybe I'll have a pillow closet from which I can choose a few to throw on my bed, chair, whatever. But that'll have to wait for another time, especially these pillows from 2Modern because they're quite costly. But they sure are lovely.

Osborne & Little Wallpapers

Wow, Katie is really showing me up on this blog! So here I go!

I believe I saw this first on Oh Happy Day recently, but I have been so in love with these wallpapers at Osborne & Little that I have gone to their website and looked at them repeatedly. We are in the process of seeing if we can find some good, classy wallpaper and this stuff is to die for. We'll start with my favorite:

Wild Carnation

Palymyra

Elodie

Lakemount

I just love those nice metallic ones. Who knows if we'll ever be able to afford it but man, isn't that classy?

Accordian Photo Albums

Ok, here's one more thing for today. Accordian photo albums by Rag and Bone Bindery (but also available on Jenni Bick). It comes in a lot of different fabrics, but I like these pictured.

(Btw, I found Jenni Bick because it is a sponsor for This I Believe, which is a fantastic little project that I'm currently using for my English 106 students. They are fun to browse through.)

Stemware

I used to love to set the table for special occasions when I was growing up because that meant I could bring out my great-grandmother's crystal. It just makes everything look so elegant. Even though I'm a teetotaler, I still plan on having (or inheriting) my own stemware, so I like to look around. I still haven't found anything I like as much as my great-grandmother's, but these are pretty nice. The first is Vera Wang and the second is Waterford. I found them both on the Macy's website.

I also LOVED these decanters by Calvin Klein. They have such clean lines, almost like some of Constantin Brancusi's work.

Corelle? Well, yeah.

So normally I don't see many commercials, thanks to Tivo, however I saw a new one for Corelle dishes. They were promoting their new designs and I quite liked them! The really nice thing about Corelle is they're super durable, so great for having kids around the house or if you don't want to use your fancy dishes all the time. Here are all the designs except for the plain white (use your imagination on that one).

Pretty Pink

Simple Lines

Eloquence

Autumn Mist

Chrissy Ann Ceramics

So here's another Etsy store I came across: Chrissy Ann Ceramics. She has some really beautiful organic designs. She does plates, bowls, floral tiles, and fantastic serving dishes. Here are the ones that jumped out at me.

Stackable Petal Plates

The One and Only Passion Flower Bowl (her signature dish)

The Square But Round Bowl

Rose Floral Tile

As you can see, very fun. It would be so fun to have homemade dishes.

twentytwentyone

I stumbled across twentytwentyone today. They had some really interesting and cool designs, so I thought I'd showcase.

I totally fell in love with this Cherner, 1957 chair.

Or this Nelson Daybed, 1948 in a delicious mint green.

Happy Barstool. I love how it's so tall, with a little bit of black.

Here's an innovative idea Zettel'z 6, 1998, a light fixture that comes with paper to write on and hang.

Skuggflora Murruta (self-adhesive vinyl designs to hang on walls or whatever!).

Beam table. So sleek and straight.

Horchow Dinnerware

Here's another one I just surfed up. Seriously. Surfing the web can be so addicting. However, this time, I came across some cute dishes so it wasn't a waste of time (like surfing the web can be).

Behold the yummiest dishes.

Mazarine dinnerware. Don't you just want to take a bite out of that pink plate? Reminds me of the tastiest strawberry ice cream. And that brown, soooo chocolaty.

Astuto dinnerware. So sleek and fancy.

And I'm not much for floral dinnerware, but I have to admit, these are pretty amazing. LOVE the colors, and I love the style of the flowers. Vivre dinnerware:

I actually don't know much about The Horchow Collection as I sort of just found it surfing. But it looks like Neiman Marcus sells there stuff. Anyway, just wanted to show some pretty dishes.
