Live Your Life With Colour & Spice & All Things Nice

Have you ever looked at your kitchen and thought  ‘a little colour and fun in here wouldn’t be so bad?’   Well here are a few ideas to do just that.

For that next dreaded coffee date with your horribly boring neighbour where you KNOW the conversation will die out with in the first 5 minutes, and you’ll be left there with that awful, awkward silence wishing you’d said you had to get a cavity filled today – well here’s the solution.  Winged espresso cups!  These just may give you something to talk about, and if not, at least you’ll be left with a bit of a laugh due to that ‘you’re crazy’ look on your neighbour’s face. 
In all honesty, they really are fantastic!  - So creative, and a simple solution to the boring old espresso set.


I absolutely love when a designer comes up with an ingenious way to make an appliance or piece of domestic equipment more attractive yet still completely functional. 
The perfect souvenir from the city of lights!  Especially since it isn’t a souvenir that will sit on a shelf for 10 years collecting dust.

Fromage rapé anyone?  Yes please!
                                                    



Ever wanted something more substantial for drinks at a laid back affair like a picnic or barbecue?  Try these CERAMIC cups made to imitate crushed plastic ones!  First released by REVOL France, they are becoming hugely popular in Europe - so much so that high end McDonalds across Europe are snatching them up for service ware as a way to decrease their pile up of garbage.  A fantastic cute idea that is not only fun but also a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic!

So next time you’re at a kitchen supply store, think outside the box a little bit.  Instead of getting the boring white square plate or coffee mug – try something different!  Add a little fun to your kitchen!
