So Airy!

Kitchen cabinets don't have to be used for just storage!  You can turn your kitchen into a work of art and show off some unique and fun pieces.  If you can handle seeing your dishes and cups out on display then open shelved kitchens may just work for you! I love them but I also think you  have to keep up with making sure the shelves aren't cluttered or messy! below are some examples.

On Fire!

it's that time of year when we bust out with our warm blankets and cozy up to a fire.  What if you don't have a fire, you ask? no problem! check out some amazing solutions to fireplaces i've found for you:

Schulte

This is a bio-ethanol fireplace coffee table!  Unlike gas fireplaces, which give off a blue flame, the flame in a bioethanol fireplace is the closet thing you can get to a real crackling fire!  Ventilation is also not required because bio-ethanol does not add any extra CO2 to the air.  when ethanol is burned its emissions are roughly similar to human breath..pretty amazing.

Conmoto - Roll Fire, for information call 888-350-8765

For fire on the go try Roll Fire! Roll Fire a bioalcohol-fueled portable fireplace created by Sieger Design. The 26-inch-diameter "wheel" is crafted from steel and powder coated black, with borosilicate tempered glass in front and back. A full 4/5-liter tank yields two to three hours of burn time

Spoon Stir!

Building materials are all around us in our everyday lives. How many of us gave a junk draw or an old piece if furniture that we are always meaning to getting around to fixing up? I've had the opportunity to make something from "junk." I was assigned the project of making a chair from recycled or reusable objects. The result? A chair made of wooden spoons.

My grandmother Always had spoons on hand in her kitchen. As I was pondering what materials to use I remembered her jar of spoons arranged like a flower bouquet in the kitchen and BAM! It hit me!

Seeing Grass

I've been loving the seagrass look lately! Seagrass is great for the summer or that beachy atmosphere!  I'm drooling over the seagrass wingback armchair!
