One of our favorite growing American companies, Kontextür , is best known for their bathroom accessories such as the Hanging Line , Rubber Ducky Doorstop , and modern shower curtain rings . But now, they’re taking their great design into other rooms of the house: the kitchen and dining room. Their new 3.2.1. Collection of hand blown and hand-etched crystal decanters and tumblers is designed by New York designer Jeff Miller . I’d love for these to grace my table for holiday meals and evening cocktails

Happy Valentine’s Day!!
Are you a lover or a hater of Valentine’s Day? I’ve always loved it, whether I’ve had a Valentine or not. It’s just a fun, whimsical holiday that can be serious in love or just a happy-go-lucky day. Yeah, people call it the Hallmark Holiday, but who cares? It’s an excuse to show extra love and joy than usual.
Anyway – if you had to choose what would make your PERFECT Valentine’s Day – what would it entail? For me, it’s pretty simple – all I want this year is a bottle of pink champagne to enjoy and a bunch of delicious cupcakes. Specifically these Baked by Melissa cupcakes – if you are ever in NYC, you have to try them. They’re about the size of a quarter – and a bit expensive – but the flavors are out of this world and the small size allows for more taste-testing! I think I also want some pizza to cheat on my diet and make this V-Day extra perfect. Of course, diamonds would be nice, but I’m trying to keep it low budget it this year!!!
So, tell me what would make today your ideal Valentine’s Day?

Even though I’m typically always in the mood for something pink, I’m really feeling it this week being that tomorrow is the holiday of LOVE. Yeah, V-day can be full of pre-fixe meals and cheesy cards, it’s still a fun excuse to be tacky and lovey-dovey. And wear pink. Or red, obviously!
That brings us to this week’s product pick which is a beautiful dining set designed by EPS Design. What we see here is the Dreamy Blow ‘Parsons’ Dining Table surrounded by a handful of Pink Blow Cubes. Both the table and the stools are made from acrylic with loose pigment powder.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a Valentine’s Day dinner at this fabulous dining set? I say so!
Do you have any plans for tomorrow? Does it involve anything pink?

I am in love with these new diamond sheets and pillowcases designed by Judy White Studio for Design Within Reach . I can’t help myself – I think the biggest question is which color to choose? A DWR exclusive, these 200-thread-count Egyptian long-staple cotton percale sheets would add a more exciting vibe to my super boring beige bedroom
