apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

maybe it's just me, but white porcelain and wood is mostly seen in the bathrooms - toilets!? May be they look better in person :-0

I think they look quite nice.

i dont know... i like crocks, but this is a little too odd or a pairing, especially when seen with the entire line. It really screams 1970's (can avocado green appliances be far behind?)

I'm with jennifer in sf. Like 'em. Don't find them dated at all. I think walnut and shiny white looks very current and fresh right now.

I bought one yesterday to try out in our soon-to-be remodeled white porcelain bathroom with wood accents. I love the way this container looks and feels.

Nice!

I got these a couple weeks ago - the canisters for the kitchen. The grainy wood up against the slick white ceramic is a nice contrast. I loved them the first second I saw them and I still do with them in the kitchen.

I saw similar ones at Pier One which looked really cheesy and cheap.

I agree the entire line is super cheesy, but these alone look great in the right kitchen/bathroom.

I haven't seen them in person yet, but love the photos of them that are on the Ikea site.

I'm with Robbybird, I love the contrast of the dark wood against the white porcelain.

I liked the way they looked – just have an ethical problem with any exotic woodtype. Although acacia grows fast, they cut down rainforest to make room for acacia-plantations. It has a beautiful grain, though.

i love these!

i think i'll buy some and knock out the glass and use them as planters...

agree w/nudik. when i saw the pic, i thought it was a bunch of toilets.

my little apartment, there are no grooves or seams, so these bases could easily be hacked into vases or planters, or, I think I will use one of these as a toilet brush holder. they're quite heavy.

totally dig em... agreed patrick and jennifer
