Art Display Easels

I think we forget that we have options for art display—even when we’ve run out of wall space. If you’re looking for a creative, and perhaps more flexible way to show off your art, try an easel! These options for both small and large art pieces from Ballard are incredibly chic—be prepared to tell everyone where you got them.

Blue and White Chinoiserie Bud Vases

If you’re looking for a sweet accent on essentially any surface in your home, I love a delicate bud vase. These blue and white chinoiserie-style bud vases are one of my greatest Amazon finds to date. If you saw them in person, you would never believe they were so affordable. They look as good as some of my much more expensive antique chinoiserie pieces, at a fraction of the price. You can use them to display a flower or sprig (as part of a centerpiece or alone on an occasional table), but they also look beautiful displayed empty as well.

Cherry Pitter

It’s one of those things you never think you’ll need until it’s time to feed a toddler cherries and you realize how tedious it is to remove cherry pits with a knife. I initially bought this one which works like a dream, but recently my friend Makeda sent me this style that seems far more efficient for pitting a batch of cherries for pies or salads. Either way, we’re eating more cherries around here and I’m happy about it.

Sleep Sound Machine

This is for all of us, but perhaps especially for those of us who live in busy, noisy cities. This sleep therapy sound machine with automatic on/off timer and seamless sound looping will help you ignore the noises you don’t want to hear, and fall asleep (and stay asleep) to gentle natural sounds instead. My kids have been using sound machines for nearly the last two years, why have I only just now realized that mommy deserves one, too?!

Stair Climber Hamper

You’ve seen me mention this feat of engineering before, but I’ll say it again, this stair climber hamper is a MUST if you have both stairs and children. While it’s rather astounding how much laundry babies can generate in a day, you mind a lot less when your laundry basket climbs the stairs itself. While I’m making a case to Rich for having washer/dryers on every floor, until then, this smart basket is a lifesaver.

These incredibly affordable little pouches are perfect for travel to help you pack and organize toiletries, kid snacks, PPE, anything. They’re basically tiny packing cubes for your carry-on.
