i was thinking about placemats today. i think they are interesting and odd! i wonder whose idea it was to create these. for me it is more about design/look then function. i don't mind getting the table dirty!

here are a few fun placemats that i found. typically when i think of "placemats" i think of cloth so i tried to stay away from cloth today and find some other cool choices. these are dainty...made in france and found on elsewares.com. for 4 they are $21.99.

i love these wood placemats. they are pricey at $48. you can also buy these at elsewares.com.

over at cb2 there are some great, inexpensive choices! i love these leaf mats which are around $4 each. buy them here.

quite a few blogs have featured these popmats. they are so adorable. i think my favorite is the tree with bird...big suprise! you get 10 for $24.75. they are created by publique living and you can buy them at the awesome site called delight.com.

these handmade

well GE has made a great commercial and it has been playing during the olympics. i love the concept and the song is incredible.

i have to say that all of the commercials during the olympics have been pretty great!

i found these great tord boontje lights at pop deluxe. i think they are super cool but also are super expensive at $175 each.

while these lights rock, i found some at ikea (when i ventured there a few weeks ago...in brooklyn!). i think these are very similar and give the same feel. this is called the smart table lamp and is only $19.99. Check them out here. this is the twig.

this one is called snowflake.

the knubbig table lamps were really cool in person. my favorite was the black. i think it would look cool as a centerpiece on a dinnertable or for a wedding. or on your bedside table! the small version is only $8.99 and the bigger is $16.99. find them here.
