Get Wood

For the longest time I avoided wooden accessories in the home – they always seemed a bit too rustic and  ‘knit your own yogurt’ and you know that I’m really not that sort of a girl.

But recently wood seems to have become a little more sleek, sophisticated and playful, while still retaining that delightful tactile smoothness and warmth.

Check out this gorgeous coffee table from Habitat in the UK

These cute owls (here we go again) from UK designer Matt PughPIC5a

This beautiful walnut cheese board/server from SavedFromAFire  (made from offcuts of wood saved from furniture making, which would otherwise be thrown away or burnt).

These stacking rings from Little Sapling Toys who make the most fantastic wooden kids accessories

These wooden iPhone cases from Vers (though I’m not sure how practical pulling your phone in and out would be).

and finally, the wooden accessory that revived wood for me, my Jean Pelle candleholder

    Hey you! Well done! Now, what I've never managed is the perfectly spherical, perfectly flat layers of cake ready to ice that seem to be the foundation of any non-homemamde-looking cake... Mine always look a bit more *ahem* organic....Do you trim, are you lucky or simply incredibly skilled?!?

  • Uncle Beefy on Easy Cake Decorating Idea

    Well done, Paola! It must have taken forever to frost that cake...?!?! But, what a delightful impact! :)

    Looks like there is a insurance company that is finally offering accident coverage specifically for the iphone. Even if you have already had it for a while. I got coverage for both my 4gb iphone and my 30 gb video ipod.
