Snowe: Sometimes It’s Okay To Be Basic

Things we love: glitter, hot pink, leopard, gold, silver, cowhide, black, red, light-up, glow-in-the-dark, strangely-shaped and generally kooky. But we noticed a while ago that not every piece in our home can be a conversation item. That, when it was, the conversation that our home goods were having was… well, chaotic.

So what did we need to make that monkey candelabra really shine? Really good basics. They’re the backbone of any good bar cart, china cabinet, or kitchen. What a surprise that we’ve grown to love our basics just as much as we love our cake stands with bunny ears, black martini glasses, and butterfly printed serving pieces. We were positively shocked.

But even while we know that our basics are the real workhorses in our homes, they’re sometimes not the most exciting items to splurge on. This is why we are so excited about Snowe – a line of well-crafted, simply designed glassware, tableware and other home accessories that make it possible to do a total refresh of your basics without mourning that boat-shaped chandelier that you’ll never have.

Their simple white plates, unadorned glasses, platters, and silverware, are exactly what you’re looking for when you realize that you have four mismatching bowls and one is chipped, and you’re thirty.

Some of the items would make great gifts, too – the spirit decanters and wine carafes especially.

Doing your whole home? They have bedding, towels, and discounted bundles for when you buy lots.

So grow up. Buy a decanter.
