Collection of Pitchers

I decided a few years ago that I would start collecting pitchers.  I'm not sure why but I've been on the look out ever since.  Here are a few that have caught my eye as I've been browsing lately.  Enjoy! 

Amazing! Found on The Future Perfect

Also a beauty.  Apartment 48

GORGEOUS!  Design by Russell Wright, on Bauer Pottery

Outdoor Items

As usual, when spring begins to approach (always too slowly), I start thinking about what new pieces are out there for outdoor entertaining. To add to my last post on the subject, these amazing pieces are also worth perusing.  It's just so fun, I think, to have an excuse to buy different types of serving pieces for use outdoors, plus you lose the stress you might have over using (and possibly damaging) your regular dishes when you're eating outdoors.

This pitcher/glass set is perfect for outdoor drinking of lemonade!

 This set of BBQ gingham plates, burger boats, bowls and a serving dish in the shape of a pig, is excellent and will make any BBQ feel so festive!

And this Jonathan Adler 'Kaleidoscope' Melamine set!  Love these.

Kitchen Backsplash [Part 2]

I often try and predict home decor trends but have had little success, mostly because my experience is really just limited to my own preference and what I see online and in stores.  That's why, I enjoy reading posts like this one from Colour me Happy!  Its fun to jump on the trend band wagon, but I'm sure there are some drawbacks as well (i.e. your house being extremely dated if you don't update it frequently?). 
Anyway, I did a post on kitchen back splashes last year and here we are again with new creative ideas emerging.  Here are some kitchen backsplashes I found related to the post, enjoy!
