Gift Guide: Father’s Day Gift Guide For Drink-Loving Dads

For my second installment of my partnership with World Market, the go-to, on trend, affordable furniture & accessories site, I’ve pulled together 10 goodies for guys who like their alcohol.

As I’ve mentioned before (numerous times in fact), I always think about setting up a bar for my husband, who is definitely a drink-loving dad. When he looks at real estate, the big draw after a garage is a butler’s pantry. The poor urban-dwelling dude doesn’t have a parking space or a bar cart.

Here is a cocktail-themed Father’s Day Gift Guide for dads who drink, with a reclaimed wood bar cart, mixers, copper mule mug, light-up letters, and even a sake-making kit. You know what could be cute too? A homemade cocktail recipe book. Get the kids on it ASAP.

PS — Select Father’s Day Gifts from World Market Ship Free from through June 7, 2015.

Covet: Handmade Cutlery by Mitsuhiro Konishi

Artisanal Hand Forged Cutlery By Mitsuhiro Konishi

Japanese designer Mitsuhiro Konishi was trained as a sculptor, as is evident in his collection of metal cutlery and kitchen tools handcrafted in his Okinawa workshop. The substantial weight of each piece is balanced against an intricate attention to detail, like the small rivets that connect the forms. These pieces are made from hand beaten aged steel and polished brass. Available at Nalata/Nalata.

Sunday Bouquet: Just Add Succulents

Ranunculus With Succulents DIY Flower Arrangement

Brittni at Paper & Stitch wired mini succulents into a bouquet of ranunculus. Pretty.

Get the Look: Curating a Contemporary Patio

It’s Memorial Day weekend (in case you, like, forgot you had a long weekend) and I’m headed out to the Cape.Today I partnered with Wayfair to re-imagine my contemporary patio.

We have a simple and spare bluestone patio, cut cleanly into the grass, two steps down from the house. It’s a nice contrast to the more wild (and surely overgrown) landscape beyond. If we had the budget, I would replace our sturdy wood loungers with sleek contemporary lounge chairs topped with brightly colored cushions, and a wood slat metal table and fun, modern patio chairs.

If I had the time (not to mention a green thumb), I’d add minimalist planters along one side. I’d also finally stain the concrete wall that separates the grill from the sitting area on the little back patio, which is kind of bleak. Concrete troughs would hold funky, spiky plants in a Pinterest-worthy tableau. And the inexpensive no frills gas grill would be replaced by a shiny outdoor kitchen model.

We would by no means have a rug. It’s not SoCal. It’s untamed New England. Yes to fire. Last summer we got a portable fire pit. Makes too much smoke, but good s’mores. A higher end non-wood burning fire pit would be preferable.

Here’s an inspiration photo of a contemporary outdoor space I love, along with nine contemporary patio furnishings from StyleCarrot partner Wayfair.
