The Beauty of Smeg

If you're as staunchly a subscriber to the religion of 

retro-cool and vintage-chic as I,

then you've no doubt come across photos in all genres of glossy magazines,

featuring perfectly-styled kitchen photo spreads,

beautifully accented by Smeg appliances

Obsession: Antique Military Cots

Originally designed with functionality, portability, and convenience in mind, camp beds and military cots are now the perfect accessory for any farmhouse chic abode!

 

While their original purpose certainly isn't lost on me,

 I simply can't get over how wonderfully chic these little cots are!  

The simplicity in their design lends itself to perfect inclusion into a variety of design styles, contemporary, traditional, southwestern, farmhouse and industrial.

"3 Things I Learned While My Plane Crashed"

I'm such a big fan of TED talks, they're immensely inspirational and always so thought provoking. 

 

So when I happened upon a brief 5 minute talk by Hudson River plane landing survivor Ric Elias, I marveled at the simple lessons he shared following his traumatic experience. 

With almost 5 million views, its no wonder Elias' message has resonated with so many.

Though the Hudson River plane landing is far from news, Elias' message about lessons learned is certainly timeless.

Have You Seen This?!

I was stunned when I came across the latest ads for French coffee company

Arabica Carte Noire. 

 

Saturated with rich colors, beautifully highlighting impressive culinary techniques and encouraging any cook to slow down and appreciate the beauty in boiling water, these videos are absolutely captivating!



So if you love to cook as much as I do, you can truly count yourself as an artist, the proof is in the pudding, I say!

Oh and treat yourself to a little something sweet, we've almost made it through the week!
