ONE Stockholm cabinet from Ikea is a nice modern and airy design.  If you think china cabinets are too fussy, this might be the one for you, $399. TWO copper mugs are something we recently acquired and they’re not just for moscow mules!  Even beer tastes frosty and delicious out of them!  They’re a bit of an investment at $25-$30 a piece from Mark and Graham, but will be one of those things you pass down. THREE I just loved the design on this grey pillow cover from a new (to me) store, Spartan, $110. FOUR these purl baskets are big enough to store pillows and blankets and are soft and dimensional as well.  £69 for the set of three from Made.  FIVE a cafeteria style acacia partition plate would be so cute for little canapés.  The sleek wooden design certainly is an upgrade to those plastic things we used back in school. $23 from Muji.

So, I’ve been at home for less than 24 hours and I’m taking off again (this time with Matt) for a lake weekend with my girlfriends and their husbands in Tennessee.  I am hoping to catch up with some of by best friends, relax a bit, and hopefully catch a little sun.  I didn’t see the sun for the past 10 days in Hong Kong and I am feeling the sans-sunray blues.

I’ll be back on Monday with a few snapshots from my recent travels and a really fun giveaway!

See you next week!
