Whimsical Wednesday: GreenGate

Have you heard of GreenGate?

Relax, it's not a top-secret scandal involving the poor recycling habits of politicians...

GreenGate is a Danish company that creates and sells kitchen and home decor items.
Lovely, whimsical kitchen and home decor items.


Until last night, I'd never heard of it until I saw this pin:
POLKA.DOTS.
I love polka dots. Love.

And the mixture of the patterns.

And the colors.

I had to see more.


















dishes could be fun entertaining...better than usual, with these dishtowels!

Isn't it all wonderfully whimsical?
These pictures are all from the 2 most recent GreenGate catalogs.
I originally had about twice as many pictures in this post, but thought I should leave some of the fun for you...


...it took me a while, but I finally found digital versions of their recent catalogs.


Here are a couple pictures from blogs showing how some incorporate GreenGate into their decor (click on the pictures to go to the blog - they are in Dutch)


Now, the not-so-wonderfully whimsical part of this post - although it doesn't seem to be expensive, it's not available (that I could find) in the US.  From what I've read, it's tremendously expensive to have it shipped here.  (One person said it was $150 to have a pitcher shipped.)

  2. Oh my goodness!! Those patterns make me want to don pearls, a sweet dress, heels and bake a cake for Mr. Cleaver! LOVE THEM!!!

    I'm sad they aren't available in the States. Maybe you could buy a franchise?
