Knocking on: Reclaimed Doors


These reclaimed doors from Smiths Architectural are a great way to quickly make a big change to your home.  They're antique doors from the 20s and 30s reclaimed from renovated or demolished houses, but once they're fixed up and in your home, it makes your entry way unique.

Sitting on: Truss Museum Bench

This Truss Museum Bench from Context Furniture at 2Modern would be great in an entry way.  It has plenty of room underneath to store mittens or shoes or whatever, and the laminated surface means you can just wipe off any mud or snow.

Staring at: Cloudscape

The print of clouds called Cloudscape from Ross Meneuz at Design Public is beautiful on it's own, but by printing it on balsawood it gives it another texture that makes it unique and rustic.

Loving: Versailles Lamp

This Versailles lamp from Graham and Green looks like it could have been plucked out of a French castle.  The graceful shape is something new and unexpected, but it still looks antique.  They paired it with a black shade, but I think it would be great with a dark teal or plum color.

Loving: Modernlink James Desk


Since I'm naturally cluttered and unorganized, this modernlink James Desk from 2modern would be perfect for me.  It has plenty of space inside to keep everything out of sight, and built in "gills" that can hold files or mail.  Plus, I just have a thing for desks with really big drawers.

Wearing: Pop Out Earrings


So clearly, these aren't for the home, though they might make a fun mobile, but these pop out earrings from Mellissa Borrell at Supermarket are great in so many ways.  They come in the flat sheet of plastic, so you get to punch out your own earrings, put them together, then wear them like you just made your own jewelry.

Dining on: Shinzi Katoh's Cafemug

This adorable cafemug/bowl combination from Shinzi Katoh at Three Potato Four is exactly what I need for my morning oatmeal and coffee run at work.  The bowl fits on top of the mug making it easier to carry with one hand with less danger of spilling both down the front of my clothes.  And the cute birds and trees design is just what I need during the winter when neither of them are around.
