It's no small wonder that this cute tea set falls onto my must-have list, I'm a vintage home decor fanatic of Russian decent whose mother collects tea-pots.The St. Tea-tersburg Tea Set from Modcloth is the perfect mix of kitschy kitchen knick-knack, Russian matryoshka nesting doll, and tea set for two. Not to mention the fantastic name- I am always a sucker for a good pun. What's great about the St. Tea-tersburg Tea Set is that, not only is it cute, it is a completely functional and convenient set. Oftentimes, it's a choice between cookware and kitchen utensils that either look great or do great work. In my house we have adorable owl salt & pepper shakers that are always clogged, and a more than a couple measuring cup sets- giraffes, flowers, and ducks to name a few- that don't really measure all that well. The St. Tea-tersburg set is "cleverly crafted" to include all you need for tea for two. The ceramic set comes with a tea pot, removable mesh strainer (for all you serious tea-drinkers out there), and two matryoshka faced cups that nest on the top of the teapot, just add water and tea leaves and you are good to go! Even better yet, whip up some blini€™s and pull out the caviar or add sweet jam to your tea to enjoy a decadent Russian tea worthy of such a cute set.

Decorating your home is never an easy feat, made even more difficult with all the great styles of decor and furniture designs available these days. It seems once you've found a great sofa set, it's nearly impossible to then find a dining set and bedroom set and china set and the countless other home accessories that will all match each other perfectly. Sometimes, it's enough to make you wanna tear your hair out. An easy solution? How about finding home decor and furniture that are all the same color? Or more accurately, lack of color. Clear accessories for the home, as well as clear furniture and other home accents, are popping up all over the place. Not only will they surely match perfectly with all the other color-less pieces, but the see-thru aesthetic gives the home an ultra modern and futuristic feel. With everything from kitchenware to larger household items available in clear materials, it's easy to give your home a cohesive look and unique style. Plus, cleaning is a snap when you don't have to bust out the heavy vacuum cleaner or steamer and just need a box of Clorox wipes. The only downside? Since these super cool home accents are see-thru, no more stuffing the dirty laundry and other little messes behind the furniture when guests come over!
