From extolling the virtues of lengthy blog posts…

July 5th, 2010Posted by katiesol

…to a blog post of a picture and nothing more. I am a walking contradiction.
Sure, it’s all basically advertising but my feet yearn for these cuddly knitted Nikes, they look so comfy.

I suspect it’s known as ‘growing up’

March 15th, 2010Posted by katiesol

I’ve forgotten almost everything from when I was a kid – when, how and why did this happen? I must not have been paying enough attention or something, because I can only remember about a day’s worth of stuff from the first sixteen years of my life. And what made me realise this?

Shameful. Thank goodness [...]

Like tea, only better

February 8th, 2010Posted by katiesol

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 [...]

Pure unadulterated grade-A awesomeness

February 4th, 2010Posted by katiesol

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 [...]

Great finds from around the internet

January 23rd, 2010Posted by katiesol

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 [...]

Moss wallpaper

October 10th, 2009Posted by katiesol

Moss. It’s not something the average person devotes a great deal of thought to, but there’s something really appealing about carefully controlled moss. I liked the idea of poetry moss on a tumble-down whitewashed wall in my garden-of-the-future and these moss-decorated interiors are pretty nice too:

It is a beautifully unusual idea, and a nice antidote [...]

I don’t care if you’ve already seen it

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

Eco graffito

July 7th, 2009Posted by katiesol

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 [...]

Trees means tunes

June 27th, 2009Posted by katiesol

Feast your eyes on these delicious wooden headphones. You could totally listen to the entire Michael Jackson back-catalogue on these /tenuousMJreference.

Created by supercinq for soon-to-launch music label The Perfect Unison, the wooden headband is made from Finnish birch and inspired by skateboard decks. There are more designs here. Don’t know how comfy they’d be, but [...]
