We’re digging this design concept by Tokyo based designer Ross McBride. His Grooveware, which was submitted to the online store Generate, gives your utensils a cozy resting place. We really like the ashtray with it’s matchbox placeholder. The Pipeline encourages designers to submit their concepts for new product designs and if chosen Generate will produce and sell them. A fantastic [...]
Here at MUL we love two things -multi tasking and recycled products. OK so maybe we love more than just that but it’s especially marvelous when we find a product that does both! Check out these Recycled Paper Baskets we found on Brite and Bold. You can lay it flat for use as a place-mat [...]
The Herb Ladder by Lovorika Banovic is a excellent idea for the kitchen. By utilizing the vertical space on your counter the Herb Ladder leaves you more room to cook. It also lays horizontally so you can bring it to the table for use with the meal or as a lovely centerpiece.

Living in an apartment with a small kitchen can make meal preparation a nightmare. So how does one create a kitchen that’s more conducive to cooking in instead of eating out? The first step is to give yourself enough room to work by freeing up floor and counter space. When organizing a small kitchen it’s especially important to utilize [...]
My super fun friend Rich, the voice of Green Radio, and I were out to dinner a couple of weeks ago and he turned me on to a hot new product called Clinqs. It’s summer time folks, that means parties and you can’t have a party without a tasty beverage. But at some point in the evening, I always lose track [...]
It was a lot of fun meeting the woman of Ferm Living at ICFF. And while we have featured Ferm Living’s wallpaper in the past, it’s their new Kitchen Fashions we’ve patiently been waiting for. We are digging their acrylic table clothes with their signature Danish designs. You can check out more of their new kitchen fashions [...]
While perusing one of my favorite online stores Rose and Radish I stumbled across this darling porcelain bowl by designer Helle Jongerius. A delicately embellished snail creeps across this porcelain bowl as if to remind us food is beautiful and should be enjoyed, slowly.
I know snails are not everyone cup of tea but it did [...]
They take tea pretty seriously in England so it’s refreshing to see British designer Tina Tsang of Undergrowth Design add a bit of fun to the ritual. This milk jar is just one of the pieces in the Blaue Blume tea set she presented at ICFF 2008 this weekend.

I have Spring fever. All the flowers are in bloom and the trees are starting to bud new leaves. But we probably have at least another month or two till Summer kicks into high gear so I was excited to see these cute little leaf magnets from UptoYouToronto.com. They vary in size and color and [...]
These cute little salt and pepper shakers from designer Yaroslav Rassadin have a sweet innocence about them. But I got to thinking, why is the salt the angel? Let’s be honest here, if anyone deserves an evil moniker it’s salt, am I right? I mean, pepper has never caused high blood pressure. Pepper provides a spicy little kick to [...]
I’ve been trying to do my part with regards to my recycling but lately it’s just been out of control. I have an old plastic milk crate next to my waste bin and I just chuck it all in at once and separate later. Because I am inherently lazy, I have noticed the recycling is reaching heights I am [...]
If your living in a small tenement building in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, you’re probably lacking more than a few luxuries in your apartment. One of those for me is a an extra sink, I have just one-a small one at that and doing dishes is more than a chore. So this washing up bowl and [...]
I’m so getting this dustpan and broom by Ole Jensen. Not only is it perfectly paired with its broom mate (get it? broommate, ok bad joke) but its flexible scoop makes sweeping up rubbish easier than the stiff plastic dustpan I have now. Sold on one of my favorite online stores Scandinavian Details- it’s affordable, well designed and [...]
Thanks to Nick C. for forwarding this post from apartment therapy, apparently it’s the best dish rack he has ever owned. After reading about it on A.T. Nick went out and bought one, and reports it’s most redeeming feature is its compact design. But don’t let its small size fool you, he says it holds alot of dishes- emphasis on alot [...]
