the best part of waking up

If you like coffee and you haven’t tried Intelligentsia, please do so any chance you get. It’s so incredibly good. It makes life worth living (just kidding, but it is damn good). Love their new bag and thought it lovely enough to share.

BTW – A bag of Intellgentsia makes a damn good gift!

L’Aviva Home was featured today on Remodelista for their Temoaya Blankets, but you know why I love this place? Because of the belief that the things we surround ourselves with should possess a soul, a history, and a purpose beyond mere decoration: they should help us connect to the world.

L’Aviva Home offers collections featuring handcrafted homewares from artisans around the globe.

Costes

Costes” has created home candles with premium quality beeswax. This candle will gently diffuse its fragrance in your home to evoke the refined ambiance of Costes hotels. This candle is presented in a plumcolour glass. Its “burgundy red” colour recalls somehow the very British atmosphere of the “Costes” hotel, with its wooden panelling and wall colours. This enveloping candle diffuses scents of polished wood, rhum, mahogany, oakmoss, and paprika.

mmmm.

HAY!

I know the Dot Melange 1 button “Cushion” by HAY is just too cute to NOT knock off.
I guess BoConcept and CB2 just couldn’t resist.

If you want to get a hold of the OG, A+R Store sells them.
