If you haven’t yet heard of Livet Hemma, the lifestyle blog from Swedish furniture giant IKEA, you’re in for a real treat. Yes, it’s all in Swedish and I for one can’t understand a word of it, but who needs to? With photography, styling ideas and inspiration this gorgeous, the images speak for themselves.
Don’t you just love this? Enjoy, and have a Happy Friday!
It’s midweek, and I could use a little pick-me-up to see me through to the weekend. I’m a latte girl in the mornings and a macchiato one after noon, but let’s face it- there’s nothing quite as chic as the cappuccino, at least in the accessories department. Here, a round-up of my favourite cappuccino cups from around the web:
1. Nigella Lawson Cappuccino Cup and Saucer; 2. Cappuccino set from Etic Design; 3. Earthen Tea Cup from White Forest Pottery; 4. Revol Crumpled Cups from Heal’s
5. Merge Espresso Cup from White Forest Pottery; 6. Koziol Aroma Cup
I’m especially loving the chic set from Etic Design, as well as the Koziol silicone-band cup, and the classic Italian version from Alessi. Which one is your favourite?
I was all set to post some lovely modern art on today’s Etsy Find when I stumbled across vintage kitchenware shop the fox and the spoon, and decided to change course. I know, I’m so predictable, but at least I know what I like. If you, too, like retro style and lovely images, enjoy!

I’ve been busy discovering lots of new design blogs lately, so I thought I’d exhume my old Blog Find column and share some of them with you…
This week’s gem: Kim’s Kitchen Remodel. Not an ongoing blog in the traditional sense, this mini-site chronicled blogger Kim’s (one-half the always lovely Desire to Inspire blog) 2008 kitchen reno. It covers everything from her initial ideas and cabinetry choices to demolition, installation and the final reveal. Essential reading for an aspiring kitchen designer like me, but also fascinating for anyone with an interest in home remodels, kitchens or interior design.
Enjoy, and have a Happy Weekend!
