At Pinch , our method to convincing people to try something new is by luring them with something familiar and then spinning it. That’s why when it comes to designing our “food furniture,” we try to only use materials you can find in the kitchen. Along with the most obvious — wood, marble and stainless steel — lie more intriguing materials like silicone and our current favorite: COPPER. In architecture, we see copper applied to roofs, gutters, doors… since it is corrosion resistant and lightweight.

Material du Jour – Copper

Easter has snuck up on me. I knew it was coming, I just didn’t expect it to be here so soon. Which I guess is just life, but I really wanted to make some fabulous eggs this year and I’m not sure if I’ll have time before Sunday.

Are you making any fun eggs this week? I have seen so many awesome DIYs that I don’t know if I can pick just one. I’m probably going to have to glitter some eggs, like the ones above, because I love anything with glitter, and that’s pretty easy.

If you are in the mood to decorate some eggs, whether you celebrate Easter or not, you have to check out this post on Brit + Co. They have rounded up 40 awesome ways to decorate eggs, including the two above, and they are all really cool. Some require a bit more work, but some are pretty straightforward.

And if you have any awesome eggs to show off, please do in the comments!

I love how wine collections grow organically as we pick up bottles from time to time, but the problem lies in where to store them. You gather more than three or four on your counter and you’re starting to look like a messy lush. Luckily STACT has us covered, or at least our walls covered. The modular wall units are a modern and affordable solution to store your wine to avoid cluttering up your kitchen counters.

This week is both Passover and Holy Week – important holidays for many religions. Being that it is almost Easter and Spring started last week, this time of year always makes me think of pastel colors. More specifically, today I’m thinking about pastels in home decor.

What are your feelings on pastels in home decor? For adults. Not nurseries! I love a soft baby pink when mixed with light greys, but aside from that color combo, I haven’t thought too much about it. Until today. And I have to admit – I’m loving these rooms above. Pastels can often have a traditional, grandma-ish feel, but if done right, they are stunning.

How about that second room above with the floral print? In the fashion world, those florals are popping up everywhere. At first, I thought I hated that room, but every time I look at it again, I love it. That pink sofa is perfect – it’s modern structure prevents the room from being too Parisian or traditional.

What are your thoughts on pastels in home decor??

New Dutch design brand Fraaiheid (Dutch for “beauty”) takes a single sheet of laminated plywood and turns it into a sustainably produced table with cross-shaped joints. Using a CNC milling machine, the + Table ‘s parts are cut with precision out of one sheet, making for minimal waste. The name of the table comes from the cross-shaped joints that are made when the parts come together. The +, or cross-shaped joints, make assembly easy – you can put the tables together in minutes! +/- table They use a high quality birch plywood with a hard top layer of white or anthracite grey HPL (High Pressure Laminate). Other colors are available upon request.

I was lucky enough to meet and interview  Sjoerd Vroonland while I was in Amsterdam recently. He is Moooi ‘s youngest designer and the man behind the  Extension Chair . Could you start by telling me a bit about the Extension Chair? I transformed chairs by looking at how people use them.

X marks the spot, with a circle, a square, and a dot (well, kind of) with these Blush side tables from Spell . They combine metal and wood to form the perfect little side table for any situation. Available as a square or round top, each is outfitted with a wooden, oak finished inlay that sits flush within the metal tabletop

It’s been a while since we posted about Munkii’s Lamp 45 and Vintage Bookshelf . They’ve got some new seating in 2013 that looks to be a nice complement to their previous work. Geek is a slatted chair made with steel (either black or white finish) and solid maple rods.

Happy Friday!!! Are you all ready for the weekend? I sure am. Hopefully now that it’s Spring, we’ll get a taste of some Spring weather this weekend.

Anyway, as per usual, here’s this week’s Weekly Six:

1 – These DIY glitter vases would be great for a shower centerpiece or as a gift for a friend.

2 – Melted cheese with bread isn’t exactly on my diet, but I am dying to try this Baked Fontina appetizer.

3 – Loving the contrast of the fur and the angles on this modern chair.

4 – This black & white room is fabulous, but that gold mirror with sideways text is killer.

5 – Wishing I had beautiful sliding doors such as these, especially as the warmer seasons approach us.

6 – How cool would it be to have a neon bathroom? The perfect place to get ready to start and end each day, in my opinion!

Have a great weekend! See you back here Monday.
