Who knew that Diane Keaton had an awesome housewares line? This actress is also a keen interior designer, architectural preservationist, and Los Angeles real estate flipping maven.

I came across her playful pieces during my recent travels to NY. Perfect for mixing and matching, K by Keaton, is available at the highly addictive Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Castle & Things

Created by hands with love, Castle named after the Sydney-based creator Rachel Castle, represents a love of beautiful, often handcrafted or hand printed, pieces for the home. Our favs have to be the screen prints and embroidery art pieces. Witty sayings combined with colourful, felted-crafts are a win. These splendid one-of-a-kind jewels easily adorn any room -- making any house into a home. We want it!

Note: All handmade artworks are sewn by Rachel Castle and her very patient and loving mother, Jillian Patching.
