Doux Nid [du ni]

Modern with traditional. Casual with formal. Rustic with sleek. Putting opposites together can really work by using color and clean lines to bring the look together. A Murano glass bowl nestled with a pair of antlers is a surprising mix. The combination works, because each piece on its own blends with the rest of the interior in color and form. Be brave and explore the world of juxtaposition. You won’t be disappointed.

The coming of a new year is a time of renewal. Thinking about our values and hopes to make changes in the new year takes center stage. For many of us, getting into shape and improving our fitness is an all-consuming resolution for the new year. To nurture your fitness resolution, make sure to think about design. Using real fruit in bowls is a beautiful design statement as well as a practical way to store healthy snacks and desserts for easy access. Fruit bowls are not just for the kitchen. Use them on a coctail table, dining table, or any kind of table.

At your next dinner party, think about serving sparkling, French lemonade. When the lemonade is gone, you will be left with beautiful bottles to use in the future. Just refill the bottles with water or other favorite beverages and scatter them throughout the table at your next dinner party. Guests will admire the beautiful bottles and will enjoy the bounty of beverages at their fingertips. Recycling never tasted so good.
