Ted Muehling

Swooooon. Ted Muehling. Ohhhhh Ted Muehling. I saw his gorgeous tabletop designs in last year’s Feeding Desire exhibit at the Cooper-Hewitt (and in the museum’s shop) and then came across these photos for them on E.R. Butler. Everything he does is so graceful and is inspired by the graceful forms of rocks, shells, eggs and insects. Absolutely stunning. For those of you in New York, his store is downtown on Howard Street.

Moon Snail Bowl, pictured in shell pink, $1,470. Salt and Pepper Snails, $130 each. Volute Bowls, pictured in celadon, $1,610.

Seashell Votives @ Williams-Sonoma Home

There are some new tabletop items at Williams-Sonoma Home right now including these fabulous bone china seashell votives. So pretty.

Seashell Votives, $36 for a set of 3.

Bazaar Tealights @ Graham & Green

Thought these pierced ceramic tealight holders were so pretty… imagine a few scattered on a dark tabletop. (and for that price, it’s a reality!) Or the larger lanterns along a pathway at a garden wedding. Or a lantern as a chic table centerpiece. I love the quality of light that comes through white ceramic. Beautiful things in all at Graham & Green.

Bazaar Tea Light Holders, £18.90 for a set of 6. Large hurricane lamp, £16.95.

A Wonderful World

This caught my eye from the front page of Style.com… I just thought that it looked so elegant and simple. (Luria, I especially thought of you when I saw it!) Each EcoSphere is a self-regulating ecosystem enclosed in a glass sphere. Technology for these was developed by NASA and the ecosystems require no feeding (or cleaning!) other than exposure to natural sunlight. Each sphere contains seawater, red shrimp, and algae in addition to gravel, shells and gorgonia sprig. Would look especially beautiful in living rooms or offices.

Small EcoSphere, 4" sphere, $65. Extra-large EcoSphere, 9" sphere, $500.

West Elm Colored Glass Vases

Loved the color of these vases from West Elm… and the variety of shapes. Perfect way to tie a group of glass vessels together in a room is to have them in a similar hue. These are that perfect sort of blue. The vases come in a few more shades of blue as well as some yellows and greens. Gorgeous stuff from West Elm lately.

White Forest Pottery

I loved the gorgeous Blue Mist Bowl created by Nancy Bauch of White Forest Pottery for Domino Magazine. (Great December/January issue, btw.) Nancy has created so many great pieces, much of it taking cues from nature. White Forest Pottery showcases lots of clean, organic forms with great glazes. Beautiful stuff.

Blue Mist Bowl, $45. Tiny Bowls, $48 for a set of four. Nut Cups, $48 for a set of four.
