Made by a family firm in the Beaujolais region of France that has produced its traditional designs since 1936, the Wire Bottle Carrier is great for milk or wine bottles (and also as an impromptu floral centerpiece—filled with clear bottles, each holding a single bloom); £32 at the French House.

Posted in: UncategorizedFrom Francesca & Julie:
One of our strategies for containing kitchen-counter clutter is a tray for olive oil, vinegar, salt—all the cooking essentials you need. That way you can keep everything close at hand but tidily corralled.
Above: The sleek 5006 Tray, designed in 1982 by Italian architect Ettore Sottsass, is $120 at Unica Home for the small size (15.25 by 11 inches).
Above: For a more rustic vibe (and more storage space), the 33-by-12-by-2-inch Galvanized Boot Tray is currently on sale for $29 at Smith & Hawken (down from $39).
Above: The Mudroom Boot Tray from Williams-Sonoma has a slightly smaller profile (30 by 13 by 2 inches) and costs $49.95.
