In addition to furry furniture, morrocan poufs and blankets, decorative urchins are invading homes across the country.

This is a design trend for those who want a permanent reminder of beachy living. The form and texture of these urchins are so interesting that they’re sort of just hard to resist. Am IÂ right?
small silver plated sea urchin, $20
large silver plated sea urchin, $45
7″ white porcelain sea urchin box, $35 (gold version is also awesome)
round box with sea urchin, $99
urchin burst on a stand, $140
vintage sea urchins print, $245
silver plated sea urchin on stand, $95
Michael Aram sea urchin candle, $99
It’s a bit suprising that I haven’t yet featured Boxed Water. The packaging is right up my design alley. Not only that, but the design is environmentally-friendly.

That being said, I’m actually one of those people who still drinks tap water. Call me crazy.

My mom recently sent me this photo…
and because of it, I learned about another beautiful online destination – Milieu.
Aren’t these spaces and places lovely? The Milieu magazine and the Milieu Pinterest account are definitely worth a peek.
I know there are a lot of people out there who are fascinated with mason jars and use them in the most creative ways (see Pinterest). I am not one of those people. I have a couple of vintage mason jars filled with shells, but that’s about the extent of my collection. That is, until this past weekend when I couldn’t resist these two jars. Both are made in Canada and they have cool embossing on their glass lids. Old school…I mean…vintage…goodness!
Now, I just need to figure out what I should do with them.
