Knitted Furniture?

Hi! Have you ever wondered what that woman who sits in front of you knitting? Me? All the time. Is it a scarf for her beloved husband or winter hat for herself or may be it is a pair of soft socks for her grandchild?
Well, maybe or maybe she is in the process of creating something fabulous like this furniture:

Giant knots make it look further away from the ordinary knitting and give it the right for existence.

More knitted wonders below. I saw this pouf at www.dwr.com. It comes in two sizes:large and small.

Here are the lamps. Aren’t they adorable?

These knitted lamps can be found here http://www.llotllov.de/product/matt.htm

These knitted items are another way to make your home even homier so you can feel yourself in a cozy nest.
So, what are we waiting for? Let's create something wonderful and inspiring.
Where are my knitting needles?

What are Your Cravings?

Hello, my dears!
I am craving for something Eastern this spring. And I am not talking about the food, although the food is one of my favorites too. I recently spotted this picture:

. . . and fell in love with these cuties – called drum tables. I already designed MY whole bedroom (only in my head of course) around these “chicks” - they look like little adorable chicks to me. The intricate cutouts inspired by Moroccan motifs create exotic patterns and eliminate the need to travel to the Middle East.The canary yellow color adds a substantial dose of sun into an otherwise cool bedroom.I haaaaave to have them! Similar tables can be found at http://www.westelm.com/ (and pssst it is on SPECIAL right now).What I love most about these tables is that they are so versatile.

They may be used as:
an additional seating, as an accent or cocktail table, plant standpool side accessory.

They can be handy: in the bathroom to hold the towels, or in the entry to place your bag on.

Below are a few visual ideas of how you can introduce the drum tables to your home décor:

And REMEMBER drum tables are not only for musicians!

Charming Little Thing!

Hi Dears,
I can’t wait to share my new find with you. There are things in this world that we want to adopt immediately and this is definitely the one.
Global warming has inspired Chaiyut Plypetch (http://www.propagandaonline.com/) to design this adorable polar bear standing on the ice while attached to a drain stopper. Charming and practical!To learn more about polar bears and how you can help them, here's a site to visit: http://www.projectthinice.com/
