SALVAGED WHIMSY: 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...

GreenGate Summer 2012 Catalog

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

GreenGate Winter 2011 Catalog

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.)

Thanks for stopping by for
