For whatever reason, I’m finding myself drawn to all things made of bamboo here lately…maybe it’s the colors, maybe it’s the natural material, but whatever the reason, here are a few of my current loves:

1. CB2, Bamboo Dry Erase
2. Target, Red Bamboo Vase
3. Target, Good Cook Bamboo Spatulas
4. Target, Coiled Bamboo Bowl (They have this in turquoise in the store and I NEED it on my dining room table!)

Whatever you call it, I’m in love with these things. I’m trying to find one to use in the nursery as a little foot stool for my rocking chair, but I just can’t decide…do you have anything like this in your house?

The room we’re using for our nursery is the size of a shoebox small, so I’ve been trying to come up with creative ideas for storage, specifically a place to store books. I mean, I feel like I would be starting this whole motherhood thing off on the wrong foot if I had no books for my child…

We have a big red wall clock in our kitchen that seems to be the only clock I look at during the day when I want to know what time it is.  Not that there isn’t a million other clocks to look at like on the microwave or oven or my cell phone or the TiVo.  But for some reason this clock is big and it catches my eye.  These clocks also caught my eye…do you guys have wall clocks in your home?

I have an affinity for trays and platters but I don’t use them in the traditional sense.  I’ll just throw out some of the ways I use trays: candles on a pewter platter on my coffee table, soap dispenser and dish of soaps on a metal tray in the guest bathroom, wii and playstation remotes in a red basket tray in the game room, talavera containers that hold q-tips and cotton balls on a wicker tray in the master bathroom.  That’s just to name a few.  If I have a tray, I can and will find a use for it.  Check out a few I have fawned over lately:

1. Wisteria, Colorful Wooden Tray
2. Pier 1, Walnut Photo Tray
3. Pier 1, Lombok Tray
4. Target, sengWare 2-pc Oval Platter Set-Heaven
5. CB2, scroll green tray
