Cheap Thrills

I was surfing aimlessly the other day and stumbled upon a gem in the form of a drying rack. With two littles ones under the age of two, I am constantly searching for functional products that are also aesthetically pleasing, which is no small task. This lovely faux-grass rack made by http://www.booninc.com/ is absolutely perfect for drying sippy cups, bottles and various other kidcessories. And, it's BPA-free! How cute will this be sitting on the kitchen counter? It only took $20 to make my day!

Thanksgiving Table

I'm often inspired by tablescapes that are slightly out of the ordinary. While I can appreciate clean lines and classic colors, my heart skips a beat when I see design elements that are a bit left of center. This Thanksgiving, I'm going with a black and white theme.

I've sprayed manzanita branches that I bought from www.bloomsandbranches.com, and added black and white mini bulb ornaments from Hobby Lobby. Placemats are the pressed vinyl dot collection by Chilewich, purchased from Bloomingdale's (on sale!), china was my Grandmother's, and I used fabric pens to personalize white cotton napkins from Target. Black and white feathers complete the look. Here is a preview. More to come after I design my floral arrangements. I'm thinking something bright and bold. Red perhaps, or yellow? What do you think?
