 Benches are now increasingly being used in dining rooms around the globe. Once only used at beach sides and around Oriental Asia, they can now be seen as a replacement to the dining chair and can be used in almost any kind of house setting you have.

How to Throw a Cabin Feast

 

 Wen took one look at this picture that we found on Sfgirlbybay blog and knew it would be a super special event with loads of basic back-to-earth designed decoration. The mismatched vintage chairs, cutlery and plates created a magical setting looking out towards the woods.

The feast was held by eatwith, an international community who gathers members from around the world to meet up in small events hosted by other members to share their passion for food, nature and design.

So basically, members that host a gathering will set a price for each member to join in.Why not visit the website and find out what is hapenning around your neighborhood! :)

If you have a kitchen, it is almost likely that you have had at least 1 wooden spoon throughout you life. How do you remember that spoon to be? Just like any other spoon, it was 'just' a spoon. 'just' a kitchen utensil.
Why have "just" things lying around the house when you can have unique, meaningful pieces by just simple DIY-ing!


Here are some wooden & bamboo spoon DIY's that have been quite trending lately. From etching, drawing, painting or even ombre dyeing work.
