H&H on V&L!

Today is a good day. Not only is it one of my favorite holidays (I could eat Mexican every night of the week, every week of the year) but I am also guest blogging on Velvet & Linen, one of my favorite blogs!
I will be discussing one of the first lessons I learned in this business. A lesson I learned again when working on this kitchen...Thank you Brooke so much for having me!!!!

Modern Ceramic Lamps By Mamati

Italian designer T.Menozzi has created lovely collection of ceramic lamps for Mamati. They all are hand made and with custom hand finishes. T.Menozzi has used a special technique, which makes his lamps so beautiful. Lamps from the collection have different shapes and sizes, but all of them looks stylish and elegant. The smooth and soft lines make them look modern and adaptable to all interior styles. They easily will find their place as in the bedroom as in the living room. With all that features, new Mamati’s lamps could enhance and enrich every area of your home.

New Modern Kitchen Design Called Bring from Stosa

This is new modern kitchen design from Italian kitchen manufacturer, Stosa. which offers as modern as traditional models of very high quality. This modern kitchen is a model from Bring collection. The main idea of this kitchen design is a play of contrasts and asymmetric shapes. Its cabinets with non standard shape add the originality and at the same enlarge the storage space.






It's The Most Wonderful Day of the Year

Happy Cinco de Mayo! To celebrate one of my favorite holidays I thought I would make a list of Mexican themed books I wouldn't mind seeing on my coffee table...
Any that I need to add to my list? Hope you have a margarita and some queso today to celebrate!

Fredrik Hyltén-Cavallius Piet Gas Fireplace

Swedish designer Fredrik Hyltén-Cavallius has created the Piet fireplace.

From the designer:


Piet is a chimney free indoor stove with a brass reflector, that burns ethanol fuel instead of wood. This gives no smoke or soot and thereby eliminates the need of a chimney.

A layer of rockwool fire insulation between the reflector and the outer shell keeps the outside cool. This means that you can always touch the ceramic body of Piet without burning your hand and also means that Piet can be placed closer to walls or other furniture.

Since it doesn’t require any permanent installation you can just bring it with along when you move or place it wherever you like when you refurnish.

The name is a tribute to Danish architect and mathematician Piet Hein since the stove has the form of a super elliptic egg.
