Happy Valentine’s Day!
Did you know that an estimated $17.6 billion will be spent on Valentine’s Day this year? That is a LOT of dough!
Just in the United States, 26 million heart-shaped boxes of candy and 170 million flower bouquets and plants will be gifted to all sorts of sweethearts. Ladies, if you don’t have a sweetheart, rest assured – 15% of women order flowers for themselves!
Are you the type that finds Valentine’s commercialized and unnecessary or do you prefer to embrace the cheesy cliches of it all?

I’ve been spending some time checking out New Zealand-based designer Khalid Shafar’s portfolio. His modern, somewhat quirky designs are understated enough that they could easily fit into a sophisticated decor. I especially like the surfboard-inspired chaise lounge: Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook . © 2012 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments

Owen, who is currently based in Rochester New York and teaches at Rochester Institute of Technology , turns out some pretty amazing clean-lined designs. Most recently he debuted the WC Line for Kontextur , a series comprising a plunger, toilet brush, and waste bin that elevates the mundane. As you can see from this week’s Friday Five , Owen revels in the functional and simple. 1
