Gift Ideas… The First of the Season

Electronics are generally unattractive and complicated. I prefer things that possess a simple beauty. Fortunately, en&is have designed a gorgeous alternative, allowing for music to pour forth from a vessel that resembles… and in fact is… a work of art. The MegaPhone below is a ceramic amplifier designed to amplify and optimize the sound from your iPhone and iPod Touch. Now you can listen in style!

EXTRAORDINARILY SACRED

My Dream House… Just Might Surprise You

Perhaps it was all of those Women’s Studies and Religion courses I took at Pitzer College that met in a yurt and outdoors in a geodesic dome, but I have long fantasized about owning an A-Frame or Geodesic Dome House. There is something so natural, and beautifully spiritual that radiates from their open construction. The spaces alway feel like they reach to the heavens, but still somehow seem as if they cradle those inside in their coziness.

Step Inside and Close the Door Behind You

We are in serious, deep, head over heels kind of love with the Goggle Desk. This gorgeous piece of Italian office furniture was designed by Danny Venlet for Babini. It is available in a variety of finishes (lacquer or matt), colours, contrasting colours, whatever you desire… but we like it just the way it is shown here!

There Is A Fire In My Heart

With the arrival of Spring it is only natural to begin to daydream about all of the gorgeous evenings we will spend outdoors having delicious meals, sipping summery cocktails, having conversations with friends both frivolous and life changing. There is something enchanting about entertaining outdoors. One of the keys to setting this enchanting scene is with the perfect outdoor fireplace. Modfire has come out with the most stunning model I have seen since the 70s. The fireplaces are handcrafted from steel and are available in their natural darkened state or in a range of bold, vibrant colours.

Pamper Yourself, Love Yourself

I am a girl who believes in using the most beautiful things at home when I am by myself, enjoying my own company. I like to spoil myself, but more than that… I believe in savoring every moment in life and enjoying all of life’s pleasures. The hand-painted Messien porcelain depicting 1001 Nights is a treasure that I would selfishly like keep for my own. It seems like the perfect thing to wake up to. Starting the day with breakfast served on this exceptionally beautiful tablewear.

Fancy Paper

I am simply mad about wallpaper. It is one of my great loves. A friend recently turned me on to Palacepapers by Casey Gunschel. Gorgeous wallpapers and textiles that are hand silkscreened onto natural fibers and papers with beautifully chic results.

A Restyled Spot of Tea

The remade porcelain pieces by Remake are about as charming & gorgeous as it gets! They are delicate, classic pieces with the perfect sprinkle of cheekiness and edge. They really do make one yearn to invite colourful and clever guests over for tea and crumpets.
