My obsession with Scandinavian pottery and kitchenware began with finding this Nymolle cup & saucer set at a thrift store a few years ago. In my excitement to show Nicholas my new find, I chipped the cup while unwrapping it. I was devastated. Then in a weird twist of fate I found the same set a few weeks later at a different thrift store. It was just meant to be.

I would really love some Cathrineholm lotus nesting bowls. Or anything Cathrineholm, really! These mid-century beauties were created by Grete Prytz, who was one of the most influential designers in Scandinavia during the mid-century. They would look just perfect in my kitchen!



Plate walls!! I love them. Such a cheap and easy way to make a great statement in a room. I currently have one plate wall in the upstairs bathroom featuring Nathalie Lete plates. Soon there will be a second plate wall in the kitchen. This one featuring random thrift store finds. I love sitting on the floor of a thrift store looking through piles and piles of plates for random beauties.



I’m having the hardest time finding a round rug for the foyer. Everything is ugly or really expensive. I found a great option at Target months ago, talked myself out of it, and then never saw it again. I like this Anthropologie rug but I’m worried it isn’t big enough, plus it’s oval. I also really like this vintage rug I found on Ebay, but I’m still not sold. The search continues.
