<p>The March issue of Dwell is a treat for any foodie. It concentrate on kitchen design for people who really cook at home. One well-planned kitchen is the custom Bulthaup kitchen of a couple. Chelsea and Arthur Jackson are two foodies. She is a certified pastry chef and he is a chef at a restaurant. They live in a 1000-square-foot condo unit.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15737" title="multitasking breakfast setting" src="http://athome.kimvallee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/multitaskingbreakfast.jpg" alt="multitasking breakfast setting" width="581" height="444" /></p>
<p>Who wants to move around in a Sunday morning. By placing their massive wood table to be perpendicular to the kitchen island, they can watch the cooking of their oatmeal in the blue <a href="http://athome.kimvallee.com/2009/07/whats-hot-in-teakettles-color-and-water-temperature-gauge/">Staub round tea kettle</a> while they sit at the table. I like the idea to integrate a bar station that includes an espresso machine.</p>

<p>All the food pictures of the article look appetizing. I would like to be invited for dinner.</p>

The three-level to box stand designed by <a href="http://oeufnyc.com/new/product.php?productid=16317">Oeuf</a> has removable bin dividers for easy storage of toys in any sizes. $496 in classic walnut or birch finish.

<p>+ Thomas Brinch-Møller and Jacob M. Lund imagined these ladybug contraptions to create the coolest key holders. Sadly, there are no words on where and when you can buy them.

<p>+ I spot the <a target="_blank" href="http://heathceramics.com/go/heath/homeware/store/index.cfm?catID=53">Weck food storage jars</a> when I visited Heath Ceramics in Los Angeles. I felt in love with these mini canisters. If I recalled well, they carry other sizes not shown on their Web site. Heath put some candies in a mini canister next to the cash to tempt me more. $3 for a mini canister with 2 clamps</p>
<p>+ Serve a coffee latte or a large hot chocolate to your brunch guests in these red <a target="_blank" href="http://www.poshchicago.com/product.asp?lt=d&amp;deptid=3128&amp;pfid=PSH01609">Faience Café au Lait Bowls</a>. The bowls are available in four patterns: circle, art nouveau, flowers and heart. The red color makes them an ideal candidate for Valentine&#8217;s Day breakfast. $18 each at P.O.S.H. in Chicago.
