Antique Jar Envy
When i grow up i want to have an entire wall of jars and beans.
If Lucy Fell... but less morbid
Some of you might remember the 'classic' 90's movie staring SJP, where two friend make a death-pact if they don't find love by the time they turn 30. They paint an ominous wall-calendar and we watch as they struggle.
These alternatives are of the more uplifting variety; not a bad idea to get your kids involved in planning their time, or adults for that matter.
Pipe Shelving
Just some quick measurements, a trip to your local hardware store, some screws and ...voila.... shelving accomplished!
Another Page-Saver
The Lili Lite not only queues up your upcoming reads, and saves your current page, but comes with an imbedded lamp... fantastic!.... (the only thing missing is room for your alarm, and a spot for your jewelry).
Stacks
Simple display of reading materials found in Julia Roitfeld's (yes, daughter of Carine) New York home.
Another Birdhouse Book-rest
There is an apparent trend in bedside book storage: bridhouse shaped shelves that allow you to keep your last last page ready and waiting..... cause... y'know.... bookmarks were just too cumbersome.
Hipster Kid Storage
Delightful faux-antique boxes on wheels; perfect for the hipster kid in your life (and for any parent with an aversion to bright colours)
Chiyogami Boxes
Pretty watch-maker tins turned into charming gift boxes with some beautiful Chiyogami paper.
Crayon Keeper
In honour of my friend Megan, who has successfully managed to arrange (and make!) 17 Crayon costumes (of different colours!) for her and her fellow teachers (complete with hats!!), i thought i'd put up a crayon related post.
This is the Crayon Roll by OneCommonThread on Etsy. Charming, great for travel, and would most certainly inspire kids to put their crayons back in the right place.
Helena Christensen's Chest
Antique document cabinet photographed by The Selby in Helena Christensen's home for last May's French Vogue.
All together: 'ooooooh.... ahhhhhh'!
How The Smile Does Storage
Maybe it's the photo, or maybe it's because it was taken in my favorite (aka: i've-been-there-once-but-it-makes-me-feel-good-to-have-a-favorite) sandwich place in NYC.... but there is something i love about this.
Quick, easy, gritty storage.
American Home 1953
Just look at all those teeny-tiny cupboards.The leaning potato drawer... who doesn't need one of those?!
For the love of Antique Trunks and Boxes
I am very much infatuated with antique boxes at the moment.And if i had a big house, this is how i would display them - because everyone needs a cartographic-inspired nook, right?
