Designer Plates

Check out these eclectic plates that Give Simple is featuring! They were hailed in Daily Candy this year and after taking a closer look I can see why!

Made of melamine, these plates are shatterproof,
dishwasher safe and kid-friendly. This material offers the versatility we adore, without sacrificing the ultra-stylish look and feel. Give Simple says,

"Everything about these bold,
colorful plates is unique. The Wrought Irony dinner plates and Royal
Farce side plates are perfect to mix and match for fun, eclectic dining
(outdoor or indoor). They work especially well for entertaining."

These works of art are truly just that; a product of student artist at the Savannah College of Art and Design. So enjoy your beautiful dinner table and support the arts at the same time!

starting at just $6.00!

New Use For Stainless Steel

by Kathy Helbig Leave a Comment

Unless you have been living under a rock, it is pretty apparent that stainless steel has made a real come back over the last few years. From kitchen appliances, back splashes and floor accents, to counter tops, bathroom sinks and tiles, stainless steel is still a popular design element used in today’s decor.

The bloggers over at Luxury Housing Trends found these Modern Stainless Steel Coasters that are a certain
must have for those who love a simple sleek look.

"These stainless steel coasters by Prodyne Metalla Design offer a simple
and clean look. Now, stainless steel isn’t going to be extremely
absorbent, but that might be okay if you’re not serving a lot of
perspiring beverages. Besides, I always wonder about things growing in
cork or knitted coasters after repeated exposures to damp drinks."

You can buy this set pictured at Amazon for only $16.95

by Sarah C. Leave a Comment

Looking for a weekend project? Why not dress up your interior doors?

These bejeweled doors, collected posted by Girl Meets Glamour, are amazing. They’re like a gorgeous silk lining inside of a sensible wool coat. Something utilitarian made into real gem with a little touch of pattern and color.

A Few Cool Links for Lunch

by Sarah C. Leave a Comment

I have a few hand-washables in my kitchen. I tend to leave them to dry on a towel or on top of the stove. But if I had a dish rack like this, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave it out.

I’m always interested in alternatives to a traditional Christmas tree. I like ornaments, but I don’t have much room for a blue spruce. These mod tree displays would do nicely.

Matryoshka dolls are showing up everywhere this year. I like this minimalist take inspired by the Pantone color-matching system.

DLM Table Gets Around

The DLM Table (Don’t Leave Me) is a handy, portable occasional table complete with it’s own handle. Carry it from room to room and even outside. It would be great for serving drinks.

Simple Gift: Dunk Mug

by Sarah C. Leave a Comment

It’s hard to buy gifts for adults. Most of us have already bought ourselves what we really want.

You can trade gift cards. Or, you can resort to generic gifts. But you can only buy a person a scarf so many years in a row. And you hate to give someone something they’ll never use (or worse, absolutely hate).

That’s why I like simple, smart items like this Dunk cup. Most people like cookies. And you can fill the cup with milk, coffee, or a hot Toddie.

Self-Balancing Drink Tray

by Sarah C. Leave a Comment

Here’s a just-in-time rescue for the holiday party season: a self-balancing tray that is poised to rescue those of us who are all-thumbs from a season of carpet scrubbing.

This one-handed tray was designed by the founder of Droog Design. It uses physics (centrifugal force) to keep your drinks in the glasses where they belong while allowing you freedom of movement.
