I have always admired Bodum for their simple yet effective kitchen goods. We have a nice little tea press made by them. For some reason when I think about Bodum, I only think of simple glass goods for the kitchen. Well today I discovered that they do appliances as well. This simple and affordable Bodum [...]

I’ll be the first to admit that this isn’t the cheapest water pitcher on the market. While the $85 price tag may be hard to swallow, there is no doubt in my mind that it looks $50 better than my old Brita water pitcher. The clear glass pitcher uses Iouseki stones come from [...]

While looking at kitchen appliances online at Jenn-Air they found this picture entitled “Scandanavian Oasis” and completely fell in love with all the white. [...]

I’m loving these Kivi Table Top pot holders from the scandinavian design center. These thick 100% wool placemats are just the thing to set your hot pots on. They look especially good when mixed and matched with some smaller sizes, and some coasters. They come in a good selection of colors. I’m [...]
