While in Copenhagen last year, we had a chance to stop off at the Danish Design Center to see Denmark by Design . The exhibit shows the development in Danish design from 1945 to 2010, with iconic pieces popular in the homes, workplaces and public arena from the time it was introduced to today. The exhibit starts out with Kay Bojesen’s wooden toy monkey, an assortment of LEGO bricks, and Arne Jacobsen’s City Hall clock, designed in 1956. The aluminum coffee and water jugs were designed by Erik Herlow in 1955. See the aqua nesting bowls in the foreground?

Knitting had its moment (and it’s still going on), so perhaps it’s time to shine a spotlight on quilters. While the craft may evoke images of grannies in spectacles equipped with needles in a barn (sewing bee anyone?), there’s an alternative to patchwork classics. After posting a few modern quilters last year, we stumbled upon a decidedly hip Flickr group of crafters called The Modern Quilt Guild , and pulled out half a dozen favorites.

How sleek and chic is this bright and colorful modern sideboard? It would really add some punch to your dining room.
Made by Invisible City, a handmade modern furniture company from Britain, the ISO System 216 Sideboard is designed by Simon Moorhouse and also comes in a white/grey version. But I’m feeling the colors, how about you?
The glossy yellow and green lacquer up against the prominent wood grains are a combination that you don’t typically find in the dining room, and I love that. Maybe I’d use it as a dresser or a TV stand instead. What do you think?

Materials: Hemnes 6 Drawer Dresser, raw wood trim, paintable wallpaper Description: Hemnes are pretty solid pieces of furniture. I've had mine for SIX years and it's still sturdy and perfectly functional. Sometimes their traditional yet modern look is perfect for a room. But I wanted something with a little more character and detail for our spare room. So I hacked! Click to read the rest of the post > >

Stainless steel appliances are one thing, but stainless steel appliances and cabinets? I don’t know if I could do it…could you?
With a stainless steel fridge, microwave, stove, toaster and coffee pot, I don’t think I could deal with anymore stainless steel. Not because of the look but because of the obsessive cleaning that takes over me when I see one smudge on any of the above items. Once the stainless steel polish is out, I’m a mad woman running around to make sure every inch of stainless is completely clean and doesn’t have that extra residue that some polishes (or maybe just the one I use?) leave.
While I love the look of all stainless steel kitchens, mentally I couldn’t handle it! And when I have kids? Forget it!
So, how about you – do you love this look or not so much?
