The Target near me finally put out some of the Orla Kiely goodies I’ve been wishing for, so I picked up a couple of canisters for the kitchen. The cheery pattern is really cute in there!
I put this “Eat” sign above the fridge quite a while ago, but I hadn’t taken a photo of it until now…
My mother-in-law has the same sign in red in the family’s Wisconsin lake house. I bought mine from Feather Your Nest (though it looks like they have different word signs now).
And how cute are these little measuring spoons? I love the soft clacking sounds they make as I open the cabinet.

Nicole, did you see this?

I saw a post about the owner of the shop and remembered your sign…thought you might want to know.

If you fancy some more Orla Kiely prettiness for your kitchen, these little beauties are on sale in supermarkets here again. Chock full of tea, too! (and going for ridiculous sums on ebay…)
Jen
Hi Nicole,
I just purchased the Orla Kiely canisters this weekend at my local Target. I’m curious…what are you using your canisters for?
Love the new additional details in your kitchen!

I just found those spoons on Anthropologie the other day and fell in love! I am all about bright fun accents in the kitchen, and mine is filled with all sorts of brightly colored melamine pieces (measuring cups, mixing bowls, bright antique toys)… oh I love it!
Lila
How have I not discovered your blog before? I love it.
alice
i love the cabinet knob and spoons. so cute!
Audrey
I walked past these in my target, but refrained from taking a second look. Now after seeing these pictures, I need to revisit! Loooove the measuring spoons.
Amelia
Oh, I definitely understand succumbing to the pretty… and I certainly haven’t gotten rid of mine!
jenn
I loooove the square plate that is holding your garlic!! I need those, and I need that pattern in fabric!!

I love the canisters! I saw them @ Target the other day & I think they look better in your kitchen than in mine!
Courtey
I love those canisters! Oh, I think i need to get some!
Amy
I just picked up those two canisters also! They’re so fun!
Amanda
I love that Target stuff! I saw the tablecloths a few days ago but they were too big for my table. I went back today and they had the rest of the stuff! I picked up a plate and a bowl and now I can’t wait to go get the rest. The canisters are to die for.
Making it Lovely
OK, I have to admit that I have the spoons more as decoration than function! I already had metal measuring spoons that I’ve had for years, and I usually use those. I just liked the color of the spoons so much that I bought them anyway. ;)
Amelia
I love the *look* of those spoons, but I was horribly disappointed when I tried to use them. It’s impossible to level things properly, so they wind up being really imprecise — great for decorating, but useless for baking!
Natalie
Oooooooh I am lovin’ the small, gray canister! Too cute!
BTW the drawer pulls on your cabinets are awesome! Anthropologie?
wide open spaces
i love the little splashes of color here & there. adorable.

The cannisters look lovely, question for you – how good are the seals on them? Or are they better for storing food that is already packaged?

The Orla Kiely items recently arrived at my Target too- I can’t decide what I want! I have to stop myself from buying all of it.
Jen
My lovely sister gave me those measuring spoons for Christmas, but mine are the “Baker’s Bliss” pattern, and I love them!
How I wish we had an anthropologie in Memphis…
Sarah
I get more compliments on my measuring spoons (the same ones) than anything else in my house.
Monica
Nicole, I’ve been lurking for WAY too long … thanks so much for sharing your life and lovely home with all of us. So much fun to see your pictures, your projects, your amazing “finds”. You are something else! Loved the pixs of the Lake House … I live next door in Minnesota and would LOVE to have a house like that to retreat to. Take care, nap whenever you can and enjoy the next few months before your life changes forever! (In the most wonderful way.)
Gràcia
How badly I want your knives… and those spoons… I should move to the US
Little Gray Pixel
What a lovely kitchen you have. The spoons are adorable.
Marian
Even before I clicked the link, I knew those spoons were from Anthropologie. As always, I’m very jealous we don’t have a store out in Hawaii. Your kitchen looks lovely.
Kim
I love those spoons! And the canisters are really irking me, as I want them, but can’t afford to shop right now.
Oh, and please turn your steak knives so that the blades are facing upward – downward dulls your knives!
jessplease
Love the knob on the cupboard!
Miss B.
As always your finds are a true delight! Your home seems so happy…
Jen
I really hope you read this, Nicole! I was just surfing thru etsy and found a “vintage” modern child’s chair–in light pink!!!–from a seller called vintagejane. Check it out! I immediately thought of your house!
Nancy D.
Love the measuring spoons! Well… I love everything actually, thanks for sharing :)
Joi
Love your blog! Those canisters seem to fit perfectly with your style!

I think I may be the only person ever that doesn’t like the Orla Kiely Target stuff. :( But those measuring spoons! Swoon…
Andrea
Thanks for charing such beautiful pictures of the lake house. For a second my mind wondered to a daydream place where nature, silence and beauty is everywhere. I love your blog, it’s so inspiring. I take a look whenever time permits (after kids in bed 2 & 3 yrs old; /work/family/housechores etc..)which makes me wonder…do people have housekeepers to maintain these lake houses spotless?
congrats again!

I love the swing arm lights you have in your bedroom, but I need a hardwire sconce. Would you happen to know where I could find it, or if it could be rewired?
Thanks!
Tessa
Nice knife set!
Averill
So jealous! I’ve been by my local Targets several times already and they STILL don’t have the canisters out.
Rosemary
Oh those canisters!
I got the green pear apron for my birthday Sunday and am totally in love. I keep making excuses to bake so that I can wear it!
Megan
I have just discovered your blog and am loving it!! Why, oh, why can’t we have Anthropologie in the UK? I visited one during a trip to LA recently and could have quite happily have brought the whole store home with me!
Marisa
Argh. I meant to say, “I love how they *look*”…
Marisa
For those who have the ultra-cute measuring spoons, how accurate are they? I LOVE how they work, but want them to be functional, too :-)
Many thanks!
Amanda
I LOVE the melamine serving tray, but my Target in Cape Girardeau, MO didn’t have it. They only had a few plates and mugs. I tried to order it online, but they are only selling it at the store :-(
Coty
I stumbled upon your blog a few days ago and WOW…I love every stitch. I posted about your amazing studio on my blog; because it’s just that fantastic. It’s given me hope that I can do things myself AND make it look good. Thanks, I’m officially a regular.
Ps I adore “pink loves brown” as wekk…a regular there, too!
ann
Hello! I randomly discovered your blog the other day and have passed it on to my sisters and cousins! We’re HOOKED!!! You certainly make things lovely. We love your use of pink!
Anyway, I thought I would share my very recent blog with you. A challenge I’m working on currently and hope to turn into more!
Let me know if you like it!!!
Thanks!
Ann in Texas :)
katie
oh my goodness our target doesnt have these yet. sooo adorable! i really love them. they would be so fun in my kitchen or hey, anyones kitchen! how fun with the eat sign too! and great idea with the measuring spoons. we dont have a huge kitchen so this gives me terrific ideas! thanks!
josie
Thank you for posting a link to your Flikr page, I loved looking at the pictures of the Lake House. We just recently moved from Milwaukee to Southern California and are really missing the areas north of Milwaukee – especially the pine trees and the lake. What a beautiful house.
Sweet Nothings
I can’t find them at any target anywhere in LA. it is sad. But i got some tumblers.
Making it Lovely
The knobs are from Anthropologie.
Meghan
Where are your cabinet knobs from? Those are lovely!
ohbrooke
Okay, those canisters are too cute. I saw her line at Target the other day, but didn’t see the canisters. The kitchen in my condo is very contemporary: granite, light wood cabinets, stainless appliances… I have to figure out how to make something like that {way more MY style} fit into my kitchen.
bungalowbliss
The measuring spoons look darling with your cabinet hardware. I love me some Anthropologie!
Michele
I just got the last small ‘Cafe’ sign from Feather your Nest! They no longer sell the ‘Eat’ one so I had to settle for ‘Cafe’ but I am still so excited to get it!
life a colorful life
I.must.have.those.measuring.spoons.
Dionne C
Yes, I love this new Target stuff – the patterns are adorable!
cara
I have those measuring spoons too! They’re super cute, love the colors… just be careful, in my clumsiness of being prego I dropped the orange tablespoon and it broke in half. so sad.
abby
oh Super cute! Even here in Nashville TN, those canisters were impossible to find. I got the very last set at my target. I wish the dishes weren’t plastic. :(
Jackie
*gasp* Those measuring spoons are amazing! They’re loads better than mine, and I thought mine were particularly fancy.
