The Renovation Files: kitchen

I'm no whiz-bang cook, so I feel way out of my depth when it comes to renovating our kitchen. I think that's why I like this one so much. It's so simple, airy, and light. There's nothing intimidating or serious about it. The only thing I'd change would be the black bench tops and handles for something white.

If you only buy one piece of furniture this year, make it this one...

The Selby

I'm talking about the Componibili, of course!

It's seriously the most adaptable piece of furniture in all the land. I've used them in shoots for kids rooms, as bedside tables, and recently in a bathroom and you can't go wrong.

Just to recap, it's the Componibili designed by Anna Castelli Ferrieri for Kartell and it'll set you back around $200 from Top 3 By Design. Buy it, then wonder how you lived without it.

Good morning, sunshine!

I hope every morning this week starts off looking this good. Here's to a wonderful week ahead.

Food, with a cool, graphic, minimalist slant.

Can you imagine the fun the food stylist would have had on this shoot? Here are some snippets from IKEA's baking book which boasts 30 classic Swedish biscuit and cake recipes. YUM.

If all cookbooks looked this good, I'd probably bake a hell of a lot more.
