The Styled Office with Hay Accessories
It’s been a while since I’ve had a good look at the Hay office supplies. They’ve stepped up their accessories an extra notch again, from an already impressive range. What I love about the Hay collection, is that not only do they look super cool and would make any desk quite enviable, each item is actually very practical.
I had to start with their desk, because while a lot of us would love to have a huge one to work on, it’s not always possible because of our lack of space. For me, having a family of five in a three bedroom house means that I’m using living space to work in. I usually divide my time between the kitchen table when everyone is out, and then hide away in my bedroom when they’re home and I need to get stuff done. It’s not ideal and I’ve been working on getting this alcove in the entry sorted as a dedicated space, hence the hunt for gorgeous accessories. I imagine that a lot of you might be in a similar situation. So without the luxury of having an entire room to yourself dedicated to a workspace, this small and beautifully designed Copenhague Desk would look unobtrusive and stylish placed in a multipurpose room.
Easter Tree Wishes
Easter, along with Christmas, is probably the only time that there’s a bit of silence on the blogosphere. Other than Instagram posts, most bloggers just shut their computers and enjoy the four-day, long weekend with friends and family.

Monmouth Glass Studio
When we look at a beautiful artisan product, quite often we are unaware of the beauty that takes place as the makers create their craft. I had the chance to witness Isaac and Steve of Monmouth Glass Studio, in the act of blowing glass earlier this month and the experience has certainly left an impression. I’ve long admired blown glass, but I was quite taken back by the surreal experience of watching this ancient craft.
Totokaelo Online Store
Totokaelo is an online store with a flawlessly curated collection of art and object for the home. I seriously had to contain myself with the amount of images to show here today because it’s one of those rare stores where I would happily purchase pretty much anything – if finances (and space) allowed that is.

Alvar Aalto Tea Trolley
It all started with this image. Everything about it spoke to me, the artwork, the Panton Chair, the herringbone floor, and then of course the trolley. This impeccable piece of design, the Tea Trolley is by Finland’s world-renowned father of bent wood furniture, designer and architect the late Alvar Aalto.
