2012-01-26T11:00:00.000-08:00

Balloon Shakers

2011-11-29T07:00:00.000-08:00

This is what designer Masayuki Kurokawa has to say about Balloon Shakers:

Traditionally, salt and pepper shakers have one hole for pepper and three holes for salt and the container is usually opaque so the contents inside can not be seen. The concept behind the Balloon Shakers was so you can see what's inside the shaker as it can be used for not only salt and pepper, but all kinds of seasonings.

I think these are pretty fantastic.

From Merchant no. 4 (I LOVE this shop, by the way.)

Around the Apartment

2011-09-19T11:00:00.000-07:00

A few shots from around the apartment this weekend...we are still working on every room, but things are starting to really come together. The art wall in the living room got a little more art, which makes me very happy. We are still really enjoying our balcony a lot (still need to plant the rest of our succulents and find fabric to cover our ottomans). Our problems with the apartment (which I haven't even really gone into on here, but have certainly slowed the process of getting settled) seem (fingers crossed) to be dying down, so hopefully in the next few weeks we will make a lot of progress...

I know these photos are totally wonky (taken in the dark), but we got so much done this weekend I just had to share a little bit.

We used the long weekend to really work on the house...this is what we accomplished:
+ Purchased paint for the bathrooms - and painted!
+ Purchased patio chairs
+ Purchased succulents, cacti, and planters - and planted them
+ Purchased throw pillows and fillers for the couches and patio
+ Purchased accessories for the bathroom and patio
+ Hung some art in the living room
+ Donated six bags of clothes
+ Cleaned all over

I'm so excited. I feel like things are starting to really come together. I hope to have more photos to share soon.

I hope you guys had a good and productive (or purposely not) weekend too!
