Although I'm a fan of color, I've been drawn to a lot of woods and whites — especially white ceramics. There's something calming about the mix of the two. If you're in need of a few well-designed items that calm the soul, look no further. — Jennifer from I Art U

These log bowls are both versatile and beautiful. I would use them as candle holders, as paper clip organizers, for floral arrangements (as shown) or as a key holder so that I wouldn't have to look around for them before I leave the house. The options are limitless, really.

I am floored by these handmade Pleated String Lights. They work both indoors and out, you choose! I can see it now: a charming backyard party with these lights strung up and glowing.

I'm a nut when it comes to being organized around my workspace. A pad of paper plus a sweet bowl to hold gold paper clips? Yes, please!

I feel like these beauties don't need any explanation. I thrive and work better when there are live greens around. Plus, the white ceramic, natural leather and live greens make perfection to me. I would hang these babies in my studio.

I love everything about this planter: the shape, the colors and the wood and white combination, of course. This would go perfectly in my family room next to the TV, and it would add a fun pop of green and texture.

This would look perfect with the string lights close by. I love wildlife, and if this pleasant-looking birdhouse would bring birdies to my backyard, then I'm game. I'm all about design and practicality.

Candles are one of my vices, especially during the winter months when there is less light during the day. The way candlelight brightens up a room can't be replicated, in my opinion. I'm a fan of that cozy, warm glow, how about you?

I can say this cutting board is a gem. I was gifted this beauty for Christmas, and now it's hard to use my other plain plastic cutting boards. I display this one in the kitchen like it's art; it's so pretty and earthy.

How awesome is this lamp? Unique lighting hits home for me, and this would be great next to my couch to provide light for reading. I would never want to turn it off.

This is on my wish list for my future child's bedroom. I love the natural wood grain and the separate pieces that create 3-D decor. I want my children to grow up appreciating nature, and this would be a good start by teaching them about mountains.

This would be a fun print to hang above my record player. I love the juxtaposition of the sky and the earth, and this reminds me of just that.

I've seen quite a few of these around, but I've never seen one like this. I love the mini factor! I would use it exactly as pictured to store a pretty air plant. I could imagine this beauty jumping around from room to room in my house.

| Coasters always come in handy at my place. I love having a variety of them in the living room for visiting guests. It's always a bonus if they are conversation starters, and I think these could strike up a few of them. |

I love the idea of supporting independent artists. This print is by Anabela of Fieldguided, and it is the perfect print for my bedroom. It's calming and beautiful, and I love the typography.

Here's some more yummy desk organization. These remind me of those old-school straw or comb holders in old-fashioned barber shops. They are so mod and good looking. I'd store my pens and pencils in these beauties.

I can never have enough green inside (or outside) of my house. I love the versatility of these planters, and I am a big fan of living walls. The different shapes and sizes plus the textures of different plants would make for great art on my walls.

This is another beautiful example of practical and pretty. I use lemon juice frequently in recipes, and this would look great in my kitchen on an open shelf.

Surround yourself with beauty. I take that saying to heart, especially in my studio. The simplicity and uniqueness of these pencils is charming. I love writing with pencils, and these would be great at my desk.

This pitcher combines the beauty of woods and whites — the theme of this ideabook! I am a big fan of faux bois, and I imagine myself using this pitcher filled with water and lemons at a dinner party.

I could never have too many bird feeders in my yard; I love seeing wildlife outside of my kitchen window. This bird feeder is especially cool because it would blend in with the trees outside. It would be awesome to see birds build their homes inside this beauty.
