Home: Girly-est Hamper Ever + Where I’ve Been

I know, I know, it’s been AGES since I last posted! By way of excuse explanation I’ve been on the dastardly New York City apartment hunt. If you’re familiar with the housing market round these parts you understand how much energy, focus and hutzpah it takes to score a great place – and score we did!

Things are looking waaaay up since we signed the lease and I can’t wait to share the details. In the meantime it’s all about finding creative ways to tackle storage scarcity in our new abode (we’re downsizing and joining the ranks of tiny – but fabulous – apartment dwellers). First up – the hamper! I’m thinking this ruffly baby hanging from a hook behind bathroom door or even in open view on the bedroom wall…it’s certainly pretty enough.

Thoughts?

Home: Accessorizing My Pantry

Sometime in the not-so-distant past my kitchen was a catastrophe. I was abusing Ziploc bags, bursting at the seams with mismatched tupperware and living with no coherent system for storing my dry goods. That is until I saw this dreamy “zero-waste” kitchen & met the latest love of my kitchen life: Le Parfait jars.

Cooking is once again a joy (now that I’m no longer unearthing ingredients from a visually unappealing, plastic pile of disorganization). It’s a small element but one glimpse of those the gleaming jars of varying height, those orange rubber seals, and “Le Parfait” etched in pretty french font bring me joy. Once again, it’s all about the little things.

Home: This Chair Folds Completely Flat!

Mod, architectural, geometric, colorful & foldable, the Flux Chair is the definition of great design. The oragami inspired shape would definitely add some urban zen to my city dwelling. What about yours?

More about the desingers, the inspiration, the materials & the fold-it-flat-factor below.

Designed by two Hollanders, Douwe Jacobs and Tom Schouten, the Flux chair was inspired by the need for flat folding and innovative furniture that’s both practical and stylish. Japanese Origami-style folds dominate the design and the Flux Chair can fold completely flat with a carrying handle in less than 10 seconds (if you’re sober). Easily transportable and 21-count stackable in a one-foot space, this beautiful chair can pull double duty at a picnic or as fine dining furniture in your mod condo. Built from resilient and water-proof polypropylene, the Flux Chair can take it in spades and look good all the while. – Gear Patrol

Hope you have a lovely weekend all!
