indoor tabletop garden by kikkerland

pansies are cute, but what with this downright chilly weather in chicago i am wondering if i will ever go outside to plant anything ever again. i suppose i wouldn’t feel as bad if i had this idyllic table garden from the fine folks at kikkerland to practice my gardening skills on in the meantime.

don’t you love the little urns and tidy pathways?

it’s $27 and it’s right here, waiting for me you.

element touch led lamp

ooh! i love the curve and the cleanliness of this chrome-finished sculpture - i mean, faucet, er, led lamp. you simply touch the base to turn it on and off. i am totally picturing this on my huge gorgeous ebony wood desk with beautiful turned legs, that’s completely cleared off except for an imac with hidden cords and a vase of fresh white peonies (NOT!)…

form and function. that’s the stuff.

$85 at uncommon goods.

(another) stylish load of whites

i’m not sure if it’s the summer season or if i’m going into a new thing, but for some reason, i can’t take my eyes off of white right now. it may be because i can never keep it clean and consider it a luxury in any way, shape or form…

cuckoo task lamp gets the job done

there was a time that i wrote off desk lamps, considering them a necessary evil. maybe it’s because the last one i owned was a black halogen swing arm - just a little too stark and harsh, although it was the 80’s… well anyway, i’m changing my mind now that the cuckoo lamp is here. it’s made of mdf by abovo.

a very simple design that brings a little warmth to the desktop.

more from abovo here.

purchase it at dcs in 4 different colors.
