The brand Mitemite sells some products that are “unnecessary objects designed to make your life a little more fun and a little bit different.” The Chips&Chips tablecloth, for example, encourages you to do exactly what your parents told you not to do when you were a child: play with your food.
Despite having launched a new line of furniture and home decor last year, those eco-conscious ladies over at Amenity Home are already at it again with a new line of textiles called Fern.
Since we covered cb2, I figured we could also cover what’s new from West Elm. These two affordable modern favorites have certainly helped my modest wallet and empty rooms over the years! There are definitely a few standouts in their lineup.
1. Bamboo Birdcage 2. Wrap Chair 3. Stripe Sheet Set 4. Organic Diamond-Patterned Jacquard Towels 5. Terra 6-Drawer Dresser 6. Dot Coffee Table
Do your chairs feel like they blend into the crowd? Let your chairs show off their true personality through their socks!

Funaction f.Cushion is a seat cover designed by Tetsu Kataoka that you can pump up with air to make it as cushiony or supportive as you like. It’s designed to help improve your posture while seated.
The fabric is made from 100% recycled PET bottles. Each woven meter uses seventeen recycled PET bottles (0.5L). It is also waterproof.
Tonky Designs designed some fun place mats, coasters, and jewelry out of felt. Now you can have the alphabet or a giant sunny-side-up egg to go along with your plate!
Customizable things like WordPress themes and color settings on TweetDeck are always nice. Grain, a design studio based in Washington, took that idea of customization and applied it the Ty D.I.Y. Edition, a shower curtain set that provides a blank shower curtain as a “canvas” where you can draw your own custom designs on. The shower curtain is durable, recyclable, machine-washable, and more resistant to mildew. Unlike other typical shower curtains, it isn’t made with PVC, a hazardous consumer material that releases poisonous chemicals.
We don’t do gift guides here on Design Milk because, well, everyone does them. We like to be different. So we decided to go in another direction this year. Since our staff is getting larger, we thought it would be fun to ask each person what was on their wishlist this holiday season. So, every day for next 2 weeks we’ll feature a staff wishlist. Here’s what Erin hopes to get:
1. Fair Isle Bootie at Urban Outfitters
Because the truth is, I spend 99% of my time in pajamas and slippers. And mine are sorta starting to smell.
2. Crystal Counterpart Decanter at Anthropologie
I collect white things, because for some reason, I feel a bit more Scandinavian that way. This would make the loveliest addition to my collection… ever.
3. Herringbone Throw at Auto
Do I need a reason to love this?
4. Beechwood Kitchen Utensils at A+R
I just bought a fixer-upper and can’t wait to display these in my newly renovated kitchen! Eek!
5. Covo Teapot at DeDeCe
Because this is the prettiest teapot I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
6. I Love Your Style: How to Define and Refine Your Personal Style
I re-invent my wardrobe entirely too often and am hoping that one day, I’ll finally get my act together and achieve the ultimate in style definition. Until then, I’m riding the coattails of Amanda Brooks.
Win a set of your choice of six Tikoli tea towels, just in time for the holidays. These hand silkscreened 100% cotton towels are packaged in award winning, eco-friendly packaging and retail for just $10 each.
Tikoli was founded with the goal of abolishing dowdiness in the kitchen. Tired of dull or cutesy kitchen linens and longing for something fresh and modern for everyday living, we decided to make our own.
We also like to mix it up! We like chocolate in our peanut butter and peanut butter in our chocolate. We think your shoes need not match your purse, and that your couch shouldn’t match your drapes. It’s no wonder then, that Tikoli decided to break that “matchy-matchy” mold with an eclectic set of modern textile designs made to mix and match.
Tikoli is located in California’s San Francisco Bay Area, widely known as a crossroads of cultures and epicurean epicenter. Tikoli’s eclectic, modern designs reflect both the relaxed California lifestyle and the freshness and innovation of California cuisine.
Tikoli is a member of 1% for the Planet. Visit tikoli.com for more product information or to find a retailer near you. Find us on Facebook and Twitter too!
