blogwatch: where we’ve been clicking this week

Need a little inspiration for your inspiration? Holly at Decor 8 has an inspiration board post from Flickr finds that’s sure to get your creativity flowing.

Speaking of Flickr, Hilary at Wee Wonderfuls a Flickr holiday craft set definitely worth checking out.

Why hasn’t someone thought of this before? Toilet tank decals< ?a> at Mod Cottage.

A more practical invention? The Smart Power Strip we saw at Green Apartment Therapy.

Looking to mix up the holiday menu this year? Give Not Martha’s Osgood Pie a try.

Here’s a quick way to liven up your holiday meals: Pretty holiday table cloths at Casa Sugar.

Faux bois or not Faux bois — we love this hot water bottle holder that It’s Knot Wood found.

When it comes to great finds, Design*Sponge’s Gifts Under $100 can’t be beat.

Once you find the perfect gift, polish it off with this amazingly gorgeous Marimekko wrapping paper that Happy Mundane discovered at Crate & Barrel. It’s so pretty, you could just frame it and put it on the wall!

what’s the verdict on ikea’s litter boxes?

Posted by Angela M. in favorites, living with pets

Just the other day I was lamenting about the lack of well-designed litter boxes and lo and behold, I find one at Ikea’s site. This green molded plastic tray is only $5, and to me looks prefect for our country house (where our city cat has yet to go). I’m not sure if it’s one piece or two, or the size, but I’ll let you know. We’re doing an Ikea stop later tonight to pick up a few things. In the meantime, if you’ve seen or used please let us know what you think! — Angela M.
