Master & Dynamic | MA770 Wireless Speaker

I love having friends and family over, especially during the holidays. One thing I always make sure to have is the perfect playlist to set the mood - our Studio Zung Radio eclectic playlist is a personal fave. The MA770 Wireless Speaker not only sounds fabulous, but is a center piece all on its own. We use the gray concrete in our shop and it fills the space beautifully with its well-rounded sound quality.

Skagerak | Norr Tray

Skagerak's Norr Tray in black with tea and bread laid on top. The newspaper lays next to the tray

What’s a dinner party without a serving tray? The Norr Tray is perfect for preparing a little ~charcuterie~ for your guests to serve to them while they’re sitting on the couch, or a little after dinner espresso, or even for your SO in the morning for a little brekkie in bed. I love the leather handle detail, it's so elegant.

Frama | Fundament Candle Holders

A table of small objet and three candle lit candles of staggering heights with a slight afternoon light shadow casting.

With the sun going down so early now, I always light candles to make my space feel cozy and warm. The Frama Fundament Candle Holders are the perfect centerpiece for the dark, cold winter nights to brighten up the space. Each candle holder has such a unique design that is different from any typical candlestick I’ve seen - perfect for anyone whose home has a modern design. The brass or the black finish are both so sleek, you really cannot go wrong.

Monogram Leather | Coasters

I have definitely been known to yell at anyone who comes over to my home and doesn’t use a coaster - nobody wants those ugly water rings! Monogram Leather’s coasters are such a beaut. I personally am drawn to the tan ones, I love seeing the leather patina. PLUS they’re perfect to personalize by monogramming any initials.

It is inevitable that any guests are bound to use the bathroom at some point. Frama’s apothecary collection always impresses any guests I have - I always catch a glimpse of them smelling their hands. The scent is clean and refined and the bottle is made of beautiful marmorino glass. I have the handwash in my bathroom currently and I feel spoiled using it on a daily basis!
