Miyuki has some lovely work in her portfolio, too. I’m loving all these gorgeous “drawings” of produce, treats and beautifully laid tables:

And with that, I’ll leave you to enjoy your weekend. Happy Friday!

Though the original silver version will always look great, I sort of fell for this bright yellow Moka pot sold by PeachyChicBoutique:

Mengsel is the shop that inspired this post; Luzelle’s Moka-inspired prints and tea towels are just adorable. I’m liking this Moka Express original screen print for a kitchen wall:

morning coffee open window is a romantic print from Madelyn Mulvaney’s couragemylove shop. Made from a polaroid taken with a vintage camera, it’s got such a dreamy quality to it:

Well, I’m glad I did this time, because I think this room is gorgeous! It’s in what used to be an old printing factory, and though there’s only the one photo, it’s enough to get an idea of why (I think) it works so well:

Art. No overhead cabinets, not even any open shelving to muck up the flow of this room. Instead, a collection of art creates a gallery-like feeling, making this room just as atmospheric as any other in the house.

Retro touches. That vintage icebox, probably used as a cupboard of some sort, is divine. I love how it breaks up the white cabinets and sits front and centre, rather than off to the side.

Eclectic mix. I like how the table features both classic wooden chairs and industrial-style stools. A soft-glow, vintage-looking lamp sits on the countertop to the left, while a sleeker pendant hangs from the ceiling at the right.

The bowls especially kill me- aren’t they lovely? Be sure to check out the rest of Virginia’s work in her inspirational gallery.

But what really makes this space is the details- an art collection on the wall, a creative backsplash made from yardsticks, piles of flowery dishcloths and a collection of vintage globes atop the cabinets. The overall effect is perfection: calming, quirky and completely unique.

The fantastic shop Brookish has added some new items, including these whimsical Mr. Darcy proposal dish towel:

I also love this Dolphin Tea Towel from niceBreeze:

This pair of Flower Trivets is so pretty, I almost wouldn’t want to put anything on them! From Uncommon Eye:

How’s this for a New Year’s resolution? Beat Batter and Bake Stuff spoof print from Queen’s Spoof:

VintageO‘s pair of glazed stoneware bowls is lovely (and I love the photography!):

My Mum has several of these cups, and I never really thought about their charm before now. Vintage tin measuring cup from buppins:

I like this sandwich/snack bag from Country Life Naturals, which is made of a vintage tea towel with a food-safe liner:

CeramicJen has some wonderful items; I especially like her Flying Bird Teabowl:

I love the feeling of this Teapot in Blue print from Studio Lyon- it’s so unique and decorative:

This Colander Pendant Lamp by Purpose ReDesign Studio would be great in an industrial modern kitchen:

Welcome to the Kitchenisms Holiday Gift Guide 2009, a week-long extravaganza of cool present ideas for the holiday season. Each day has a different theme, and I try to include both stocking stuffers and big-ticket items. You’ll find a mix of new finds and favourites from the archives here, all stuff I’d love to find under the tree on the 25th!

Happy Monday, everyone! Today kicks off my first annual Holiday Gift Guide, so without further ado, I’ll introduce today’s theme: Art! Regular readers will know that I’m a big fan of art in the kitchen (or any room for that matter), and if it’s foodie-themed, all the better. Read on for my top present picks for the food-and-art-lover in your life.

As we all know, Etsy is a great source for art. I’ve featured some work from LuckyBluebird before, but there’s a lot here for foodies. I love her Birds in the Kitchen series, especially in this gorgeous sage green:

While it’s not strictly kitchen-themed, I’m digging the colours in her Love Life print, too. The background is sort of tablecloth-like, anyway:

Maybe you can’t spring for a custrom retro-modern kitchen (yet), but you can probably manage this adorable Kitchen illustration by el tenderete, complete with stylish pendant lights and a Smeg fridge:

If you’re looking to splash out on some fine art, look no further than juliebcreative. I love her acrylic-on-canvas still life MidWest Memory, of a vintage Mason jar:

I love the prints sold by the London-based Keep Calm Gallery, and their “for the kitchen“ collection has some great stuff. I like this Wake Up & Smell the Coffee print, with its retro typographic charm:

I completely agree with the message contained in the famous Tea Revives You print, here in an extra-large size:

Completely different in style but utterly original, Gavin Harrison’s Food for Thought print was inspired by 1930′s/1940′s recipe books:

When I jumped on over to Etsy this morning, the work of Parada Creations was among the first I came across- and I knew I’d found today’s feature shop. Graphic designer Susana Parada’s prints have a cute, friendly and slighly retro quality to them- I think these ones, particularly, would work well in the kitchen.

I love the type and colours in this Smaller Portions print, though it comes in two other colourways, too:

Sweet Peas is just charming, I love the colour and the background:

This Coffee Mugs print has a cute, cartoony quality to it:

While not strictly kitchen-related, I couldn’t resist the Magical Mushrooms print. I think it would look fantastic in a kid’s room:

The Baked collection is a work by Italian designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin of Formafantasma, and was presented as part of the “Getting Lost” exhibition in Eindhoven.

Based on a Sicilian custom where flour is baked into architectural decorations, the collection includes objects made of flour, coffee, spices and other foods. Intended as an ode to the craftsmanship of baking, the result is in beautiful and changeable collection of art objects. I just love the photos- gorgeous, no?
