Like tea, only better

Posted by katiesol in Beautiful things on February 8th, 2010

Cosy knits for your tea - tea + knitting = The Best. Sure, you could pay $15 for this, but I reckon it’d be pretty easy to knit yourself.

Hanger tea - because teaspoons are for losers and those stupid strings always end up in the cup

Typewriter teapot - God, yes. I just love that this exists. Of course, I couldn’t buy it until I had a room full of curios otherwise the other kitchen implements would bully it (I think I watched Sword In The Stone one too many times whilst growing up).

Pretty little milk jug - this doesn’t go with anything I own either, but I still want it devilish bad.

Pure unadulterated grade-A awesomeness

Posted by katiesol in Beautiful things, From around the web on February 4th, 2010

Unborn children of mine take note: this is what your future holds.

I’d rather have the Lego version, to be honest.

Waterfall sink - like an infinity pool in your kitchen. Yes please.

As good a motto as any.

Finally, a use for all those old boring books I buy from library sales because they look nice but actually they’re rubbish. Happy day.

I just adore this AT-AT Walker inspired lamp, even though it’s completely ridiculous that the light lives in a drawer.

Great finds from around the internet

Posted by katiesol in Beautiful things, From around the web, When I win the lottery... on January 23rd, 2010

Just a few of the brilliant things I’ve come across lately. Needless to say, I want them all.

Origami tea bags - Beautiful origami green berry tea bags by Natalia Ponomareva. Just a concept for now.

BookBook - A MacBook cover that looks like an old book from TwelveSouth. Lush, but it’ll set you back $80.

Amazing chairs - it’s not always easy to get excited about chairs, but these are exceptionally beautiful with their Rob Ryan style cutout fairytale design. By Kranen/Grille, via DesignBoom.

I’m Here - a short film by Spike Jonze that debuted at Sundance this week. It’s a robot romance, somewhere between Wall-E, Where The Wild Things Are and 500 Days of Summer with a typically dreamy aesthetic and inspiring soundtrack.

I think pretty much everyone on the internet has seen this now, but I’m posting it anyway:

De. Lish.

Eco graffito

Posted by katiesol in Beautiful things, When I win the lottery... on July 7th, 2009

If I had a garden, I’d want a shabby, peeling whitewashed wall at the far end at a right-angle to the unruly hedge concealing the door to the secret garden. And on that decrepit, possibly unstable wall, I’d like a pertinent (if slightly pretentious) quote about the beauty of nature and the ethereal qualities of garden-based life. Typographically appropriate and written in moss.
