My boyfriend and I seem to have a rather different attitude towards the things we have in this house. While his primary focus is function, mine usually is beauty. And sometimes those different attitudes clash terribly...
Oh, I know that it may be a little hard to understand for someone who focuses on pure function that a teatowel is hanging in the kitchen just because it's a beautiful one, and not for drying the dishes. So if it's used every now and then to take a little bit of clean water off of a plate or something, I know I have to live with that. But please no, a beautiful hand-screenprinted teatowel really isn't meant to use as a cleaning rag for a dirty sink, or as a towel when you've just eaten a very juicy orange!

Of course you can't have too many chairs that people shouldn't sit on, cups that people shouldn't drink from and teatowels that people shouldn't use in your house, and I know I can get a little nasty when it comes to stuff like this. But on the other hand I find it hard to understand that for some people (I'm not mentioning any names ;)) it's all about function, and that apparently a beautiful, perfectly white teatowel with great graphic print doesn't scream 'don't spoil me' at them... And then all I can do is scream it a little louder!
These are the mugs we use for our daily coffees. Both beautiful and functional, the perfect combination in the end! ;) |
