I love Julia Child's Kitchen. First of all it was made for her. This amazing woman was 6 feet tall... I can sympathize with her as I am 5'10". She had her counters raised to be comfortable for her height. She was also not afraid of displaying everything out in the open. Her tools were at the ready! One of the ways she achieved this with the peg boards. Now I won't say that I'm a huge fan...but lately I have become intrigued by them. I want to expand my ideas about peg board. Here are some new ways to use it in your home. Rethinking jewelry storage with pegboard...I especially like the use of coat hooks as a hanging method. Retail display for drawer knobs...note the stencil used on the peg board. relovedrubbish.blogspot.com I have a collection of drawer knobs sitting around...stay tuned for what I create

I studied the rules of lighting...
shades proportionate to the size of the base. Lonny Magazine is featuring lighting turned on it's head. I have lots of followers who are on the look out for Cathrineholm..from California to Norway.
Whenever I am fortunate enough to find a piece of Cathrineholm enamelware I will share it here. You can purchase it in my shop on Etsy...just click on the photo and it will take you there. http://goo.gl/7TKqQ English Decanter 1 http://goo.gl/VMi9k French Blue Rustic Box 2 http://goo.gl/m386M Café au lait Bowl 3 http://goo.gl/wUDyq Glass Insulator Caps 4 http://goo.gl/qW5lu Murano Glass Bowl 5 http://goo.gl/qkDeY Turquoise Books 6 I happened to notice Cathrineholm designs on Pinterest...classic mid century modern to me...with a touch of Scandinavian. The Lotus design intrigued me. During a romp through Goodwill, I love my romps by the way, I found a basket of nick nacks and inside this little collection were three spice jars. Could they be Cathrineholm? I peeked at the base and found a Made in Japan sticker. Uh? Well a quick google search on my phone revealed that, yes, Cathrineholm manufactured in Japan for the American market. Good to know. I bought the basket for a song. Took them home. Posted them on my Etsy Shop and a mere 6 hours later they were sold to a collector in Norway. That day my love affair with Cathrineholm began. Because of the sale. No. Because of the beauty and the simple design of the pieces. The more research I do, the deeper my obsession becomes. The designer responsible for this striking collection was a woman by the name of Grete Prytz Kittelsen and is she if oft times referred to as the “Queen of Scandinavian Design”. I will continue to search and research the collection. I hope to send them on to
collectors...so let me know if you are interested and I will give you first chance before I list them. Add your name and e-mail address below. |
