Currently Craving: Etsy Finds for the Kitchen #2

I have a confession to make.  Sometimes I don't share when I find amazing things on Etsy because I'm afraid they won't be there if I decide to buy them.  In an effort to be less selfish and spread good design, here are a few kitchen finds on Etsy that I'm lusting after at the moment:

The most beautiful custom screen printed dishes.

Screen print dish set

Playful and fun tea towels to display in the kitchen.

Seasons Tea Towels

 So no one forgets what to do in the kitchen.

Eat Sign

 Traditional ceramics with a modern twist.

Ceramic Polka Dot Soup Bowls

 I don't even like whiskey but I would drink them out of these.

Ceramic Whiskey Cups

 I'll take one in every color please.

Wooden Bowls

 Gold, marble, pastels...what could be bad?

Salt & Pepper Pots

 I'm always experimenting when cooking: it's a regular food lab.

Tube Spice Rack

 I clearly have a thing for screen printed handmade dishware.

Hexagon Tumbler

 To satiate my modern side.

White Enamel Tea Kettle

The cutest hand drawn patterned plates.

Cake Plate

Have you ever seen a more beautiful blue pot?  Clearly all roasted vegetables would taste better if cooked in this one.

Dansk Pot

Maybe when I get a bigger kitchen I can buy infinite amazing dishes and pots and towels...phew.  Glad I got these off my chest.  Blogging sometimes helps to curb the shopping cravings.  We all know I can't help myself!

Trending: Rattan Furniture

There is something purely wonderful about rattan/bamboo furniture that I just can't get enough of.  I think maybe because I've recently discovered that I'm really drawn to that relaxed bohemian vibe, and there's something that feels homey and summery about rattan furniture.  Whatever it is (maybe the texture), I am DYING for some if it in my apartment.  Add a throw pillow, maybe throw some sheepskin on it for your seating pleasure, and we are in business.  Check out some of these amazing examples:

Margherita Missoni's Milan apartment via Kin and Casa

Headboard via Lonny

Hanging Rattan Chair via Serena & Lily

Franco Albini Rattan Ottoman via Etsy

Hoop Chair via Amsterdam Modern

 I think the hoop and rattan chair are what really do it for me big time.  Maybe I'll get lucky at the flea market this weekend and find one with my name on it.  Wish me luck!
