I’ve always been a big fan of melamine plates. They are super durable which is nice if you have kids, and they are a nice medium to print graphics on. I stumbled across these Thomas Paul sea life plates, and I am loving them. It looks like I’m not the only one [...]

The new Ikea catalog is out, and I’ve had a chance to glance through it real quick. Some of the things I am most excited about are the kitchens. It seems like there are a lot of new cabinet styles and colors that I hadn’t seen before like the SOLAR beech cabinets (top [...]

I have some good friends who have recently purchased a wonderful old Mid Century Modern home in Salt Lake City, and they are in the middle of updating the interior. 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 [...]

The other unique idea that [...]

Water is something that we can’t live without. I have always been surprised that an entire market has been created around selling something that is almost free. For those water snobs only a bottled water like Voss will do, but then there is the rest of us. Plastic water bottles have gotten [...]

OK, so this may not be the most affordable bread bin, but it has to be one of the best looking, and most functional. Designed by Antony Joseph, this Bread Bin features a melamine box with a beech lid. The lid, once removed, can double as a cutting board for your favorite loaf of bread. [...]

While we are really pretty happy with our grill, this one from The Gadgetshop is pretty darn cool. It weighs in at just over 8 lbs and is able to fold up amazingly small for a grill. This would be a perfect grill for apartment dwellers who don’t have a lot of space, [...]

While we were in Chicago we had some of the best pizza I have had in a long time, and it got me thinking. Who’s got the best pizza in Salt Lake city? I used to live a couple blocks from Este pizza, but it burnt down before I could check it out. [...]
