Stovetop Whistlers

Uncluttered kitchens bring me great joy. I need a life. But really, I find that when I banish the clutter I’m more likely to actually cook and eat at home. That being said: daily appliances, cutting boards, pots and pans must be out of sight. My rule of thumb: make sure anything you keep out has an intentional feel. Take the teakettle as an example. A kettle can make quite the design statement in the kitchen. Keep it simple and classic…a roundup of my favorite stovetop beauties below:
tea kettles
This kettle reminds me of my childhood. An old Italian (whistling) classic.
I’m coveting this Staub x Goop kettle.
This kettle would look great in a clean, all-white kitchen.
Made in England, this chrome tea kettle is another classic.

Non- hideous baby gear

Non- hideous baby gear. Yes, that’s part of my Google search history. There’s no doubt that babies require a lot of “stuff” but I’m a firm believer that it doesn’t all have to be hideous and plastic  (although, sometimes sleep deprivation will lead you to buy things like this). We spend a lot of time on decorating our homes and new parents don’t have to sacrifice nice design for function, thanks to these companies:

Who knew a highchair could become a beautiful piece of furniture in your home?
We love our Trip Trap in Natural

A lightweight and foldable chair. NO batteries required:)

It’s light, versatile and great for navigating tight urban spaces or conquering rugged beach terrain

Nursery Planning: gender neutral

Nursery
We’re taking our friend’s advice and trying to get the nursery in shape before my 3rd trimester begins. Since we aren’t finding out the sex of the baby, we have to keep the room neutral (twist my arm!). Some nurseries and accents currently inspiring me:
