Here's a new subject to follow my original Nelson clock thread. What's your favourite MCM accessorie/s? I've recently been buying items for my home inc. Vedel's birds, some candle holders from BMF etc

I guess this is a rather large subject, but to narrow it slightly - lets talk about sculptures, ceramics, glass, eames bird etc (no clocks, wall art) 🙂 Fire away..

Feel free to post images of your items!

kitchen goodies
What a great question ! (Euhh, is there a limit to how much different stuff we can post ? ;o) Love that the grain of the wood is still visible in those Vedel birds.
My latest buys were a couple of things for the kitchen (pics below):
an orange Fire King milkglass mug (for a dash of color)
and a whimsy owl trivet..
Btw, those planters look sure look excellent. Perhaps a duo ? I bought a (very affordable beginner's) bonsai to have a bit of green.. (and an additional book on how to keep the thing alive. :o)

Thanks for the replies :)...
Thanks for the replies 🙂 Makes a slight change from furniture! I like the planters, and the owl looks cool too (reminds me of Nelson's owl clock!)
I'll post some more items shortly as and when I have the time to take some pics.

Silly, but
Silly, but I've fallen in love with these mirrors from IKEA. They are super simple, walnut framed, kind of deep set. I bought 2 for over the couch, and am thinking of another two for various parts of the house.
Its funny - everything else in the line is very rustic and clunky - but these are just lovely!

Wow, that's odd...
I just bought exactly those mirros, Lucifer Sum...and I imagine in the very same IKEA in Stoughton...they're going over the sinks in my guest bath redo.
I'm not much of an accessorizer...my coffee table is completely empty except for a small red glass tealight holder from IKEA. My kitchen counters are a bare as I can make them. But I tend to favor natural materials, wood, glass, metals, pottery. I like things that look crafted, but not awkwardly handmade. I'm famous for buying things I like the shape of and removing the gewgaws or spray-painting the thing a single color. I love the birds and the coffee-mug above... but the owl trivet...not so much.
Some of the things I love you can see in the link below. Boy, do I ever need to get some new shots up! Anyway, I love my Morso woodstove. I love my teapots, I never get tired of looking at (and using) these objects. I also have a newly acquired replica of a Cambodian Bodhisatva, similar to the forms at Angor Wat. It is a supremely beautiful form. And I've got a small handmade Japanese jewelry box made of cherry and black lacquer that I love.

Oh Dear
Olive, I hope you aren't the lady I rammed with my cart in a mad dash to get the last two mirrors on the shelf 🙂

Hey olive, then maybe you...
Hey olive, then maybe you know something more about these pots..
While collecting I often tend to the oriental, mostly japanese. I prefere my furniture quite austere, objects rich and tactile..
(love the fruitbowl in your kitchentop, by the way!)

Hi there BJ
well the red terracotta pot is noting too unusual. The pottery one tothe left looks potentiall like its porcelain, but it seems a bit bulky to be porcelain. The one to the right withthe green figures...that one looks interesting...But I don't collect pottery teapots, I collect cast iron tetsubin. Got me a couple of old ones...they're really interesting things...delicate yet workhorses.

Garden stuff probably merits a thread of its own - this is a favourite 1950s Conran planter - nearest I can get to the(much coveted) Architectural Pottery look.

I do like that look of those tetsubin myself, but for me there's to much of them around. Ofcourse, the idea of finding a really old and heavy used one like you has definitly got some appeal!
I had the same thoughts as you do, I believe the interesting one is chinese.. I like it's form, the decoration on it is rather charming in its naivity..
