Beautiful cruet, sleek and modern

Beautiful cruet, sleek and modern. I use it for olive oil only, tried it with my pure maple syrup first but the spout opening is too small and syrup does not flow quick enough. I believe it will work well with vinegars, soy sauce and thin salad dressings. :)

With its shimmering mother-of-pearl centre dial, elegant transparent rim, lovely dauphine hands, and stylish numerals, the Stuhrling Original Women's 595.021Winchester Analog Display Quartz [Silver Tone] Watch would make a wonderful gift -- even for yourself! Its beautiful stainless steel mesh band is slim enough, at 10 mm., to look very feminine, and yet long enough to fit women with size L, XL or XXL wrists. Although I adored this watch, I returned it mostly because being a bit conservative, I found the 38 mm. dial felt too large on my 6" wrist (my fashionista friend said it looked great though.) This beautiful watch also comes in a gold tone and a rose gold tone version. Rated waterproof to 50 metres, which is a major plus for some of us.

This is a really nice classy looking watch that can be worn either casually, or dressed up.  I really can't add much to what others have said, but I have to say that the sweeping second hand is pretty cool and stands out for me.  It's very smooth and really much better than I expected for something in this price range.  Very happy with this purchase!

Love, love, love!  Not only does this look nice in my eclectic French, Italian, sort of chef's kitchen, it is the most functional utensil crock I've found and I've been looking a long time.

It cost more than some,  but well worth it.  The crock itself is a little thicker than others,  as well as larger.

I thought that the divider inside was probably rubber or plastic,  but it is also made of the same sturdy ceramic as the crock so it will stand up to lots of use and abuse.  The divider helps keep my tools from getting tangled and keeps them sorted so it's easier to spot the tool I need.  I currently have 30 items in the crock and have them divided into wood, nylon and metal.  I can easily find exactly what I need quickly.  Previously,  I used 3 separate containers to accomplish the same thing.

There's a rubber mat on the bottom and at first,  I  thought it was ok, but not necessary.  Now I think it's brilliant.  It keeps the tools in place and keeps some of my heavier pieces from chipping or scratching the bottom.

Instead of just a cylinder to throw your kitchen utensils in,  this crock makes it easy to organize and manage your kitchen tools.

I also ordered the turntable base and am glad I did.  If you load up your utensils like I do,  get this thing.  It certainly completes the whole experience.

The only additional thing I have to add about this item is the color/finish.  The crock itself is a lovely antique cream color.  There are faux distress or age stripes horizontally around the crock.  They don't look that bad,  but they don't show up that well in the picture.

I didn't know what to expect from this item, but am I ever thrilled I took a chance on it! The item description and accompanying photos were not terribly packed with information. But I am very happy with this purchase. The colors of the stones are very pretty and quite exoticif your fave colors often include Tuscan-themed hues, you'll be happy with the stone colors. The sizes of the stones (there a total of 8; two "large" and six very small) is impressive but not overwhelming, and the ring will work as either a cocktail ring, occasional statement piece or everyday piece. The setting is outstanding in that it has very clean lines and is very modern. The bezel setting for the small stones are particularly chic. I have chubby hands and fingers, so a frilly frou-frou design just doesn't work for me. Also, just because I wear a big ring size doesn't mean I want mannish-looking jewellery. This ring delivers style with a strong emphasis on chic and unique. Good communication, fast ship, I recommend this seller.

This pepper mill looks good sitting on the counter next to my stove. Very sleek and modern!

It is a good size and fits easily in my hands. It is incredibly easy to use. Just pick it up, turn it over and twist.

You may want to add one extra step, and that is adjusting the coarseness of the grind. You may be able to make the adjustment with one finger or thumb--all you have to do is slide a dial near the top of the pepper mill. There are five levels of coarseness, from very fine to very coarse.

Here is a nice design element: The pepper comes out of the top of the mill, not the bottom. That means when you set it back down you are not dumping bits of pepper on the counter.

The OXO pepper mill comes with a supply of peppercorns, and refilling it is easy. Just unscrew the cap and pour peppercorns though the large opening.

This is a handy device for any kitchen.

I absolutely love this faucet. It's sleek and beautiful and very nice quality. My only fear was that we wouldn't be able to install it ourselves and have to hire a plumber. That fear was soon put to rest as it was actually very easy to install. The instructions are well written and really make it easy to follow. I really love the simplistic and modern design. We have just remodeled our bathroom and this added that touch of class we needed. Love it!

I love the Vintaj product line.  They have such a variety of beautiful metal components -- natural brass, copper, pewter, and black art deco.

This 1" clock face is from their natural brass line and it has a vintage look to it with its raised relief roman numerals and rich caramel brown color. Unlike Vintaj's&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/filigree/dp/B004Y0VTAW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">filigree</a>&nbsp;brass pieces, this particular piece is more rigid and can't be easily twisted and manipulated around other pieces.  You can, however, use a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/dapping-block/dp/B0033C2Z9G/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">dapping block</a>&nbsp;to very gradually work it into a slightly convex or concave shape.  The Vintaj product line also carries a dapping block, but it's made of wood which I don't find as effective as the heavier metal ones.

There are less expensive options for metal clock faces with a vintage look.  These&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Tim-Holtz-Metal-Timepieces/dp/B003BGXUL6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Tim Holtz Metal Timepieces</a>&nbsp;sell for less and include 5 various size clock faces (1.25," 1.50," and 1.75").

The natural metal surface on all of the Vintaj pieces can be enhanced by using&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/metal-patinas/dp/B007JL260A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">metal patinas</a>&nbsp;and then buffing the raised (relief) areas with the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/metal-relief-block/dp/B004VYYF2U/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">metal relief block</a>&nbsp;for added luster.

For wonderful inspiration for fun and creative jewelry, it's worth a visit to their website to see their gorgeous photos of finished pieces...each using many various pieces of the Vintaj line. Amazon doesn't allow other websites to be posted, but it's easy to find by googling "Vintaj." There are also a number of YouTube videos on different techniques.

This Culina expanding flatware organizer is surprisingly beautiful and large. I was expecting something small to tuck into a drawer and reorganize my flatware and odd utensils. The organizer is anything but small when fully extended. The drawers themselves, however, aren't particularly deep. With the extension folded beneath the organizer there appears to be some depth, but in reality the drawers are a standard 1-1/4 deep.

The individual trays in the Culina flatware organizer are nice and wide, more than ample to store plenty of flatware and small utensils. If you are planning on putting a rolling pin in there, it would have to be a smaller one like a Wilton. You can, however, set a rolling pin in the long vertical compartment provided your kitchen drawer is deep enough. That little cautionary note aside, this is an amazingly beautiful organizer that is well-made and perfect to tidy up clutter in any drawer.

Take for example those extra knives Ive got hanging around. My old Betty Crocker bread knife is just a tad too long to fit comfortably in a knife block, but I had no problem putting it in one of the compartments in this organizer. Even longer knives can go on the sides when its fully expanded. Lets put it this way, the Culina organizer can be loaded with all the odds n ends you might have in a kitchen utensil junk drawer. I have one thats loaded with small utensils I use all the time, but don't have a spot for.

The Culina expanding flatware organizer isn't just for kitchen items only, but it seems to lend itself to kitchen use. The craftsmanship reminds me of the vintage office letter trays. The frame is double-layered and the corners are rounded. Because its expandable, the organizer can be adjusted for fit. Make sure you check those measurements because you're really getting an elegantly beautiful, totally functional expanding organizer that will last for years.

Second time I have bought this sink, and I still LOVE it!!!  It is sleek and modern, but can fit into a traditional setting with its molded edges, which are designed to support the accompanying stainer and other accessories.  This sink is unique in that it fits flush to the countertop.  The front edge of the sink is beveled, and is designed to give a continuous line with the countertop.  It almost feels like an apron sink, but it is not so obvious, more subtle.  Beautiful and so worth it!!

This wristwatch is really of exceptional quality. Everybody I showed it to was extremely impressed and thought it was a much more expensive watch than it is. The metal has a sleek look and a beautiful coloration, and the face is very chic. It also comes packaged in an attractive gift box with a certificate of authenticity, so it looks great and makes a big impression for giftgiving. Though I had never heard of this brand before, I'm really impressed by the look and quality of the watch. It seems well-made and like it will last. Though I received a sample for review, the opinion is my own.

The look of rustic, handmade pottery without the expensive price tag!  This is a beautiful serving plate that is perfect for every day use.  A bit on the small side for large family gatherings, but just right for a weekday night at home.  The color is an antique creamy color, a slight tinge of yellow, with a darker edge to look more unique.  The color coordinates well with other colors of the Cucina line by Rachael Ray.  As a microwave and dishwasher safe product, I hope to have years of use from the product without the glaze wearing off.  A slightly weighted dish, which is nice, but not too heavy for every day use.  Overall, this is a quality serving dish (I wouldn't call it a platter since the size is far from what I would consider appropriate for a large serving) that compliments a rustic or French modern casual atmosphere.  The look of classic elegance appropriate for every night of the week.

All in all I am very happy with this elegant timepiece.! This really is a beautiful wathc. I'm hooked on atomic-solar and have owned several Casio G-Shock's and If you've had one of those, you know how complicated a multifunction watch can be to set and use.
PROS:
*It came with a mini-CD that walks you through the initial setup up - really easy, really cool!

*Titanium - quite light. I don't know how much the steel one weighs, but this is a big, thick watch, I think it's worth the extra $150.

*Easy to read Analog, back-light for digital displays in the dark

*Very easy to cycle through the time zones - there are 43 plus one custom. The really, really nice thing is that you can easily Hide the cities you don't use to make the list really short. unlike the Casio, hands move in both directions very quickly when changing time zones.

*Digital display for Two time zones plus UTC on the top dial. You can easily swap the digital time zones by pressing both the set buttons simultaneously - extremely useful for travel

*Very easy to cycle through the functions, from Time, Calendar, chronograph, countdown timer, world time and two alarms, plus the atomic receive mode by rotating the crown.

*Atomic-solar, of course.

*Many more custom features, for instance you can zero the analog hands - I hope they never get misaligned, but if they do, hey.

CONS:
* Digital displays are tiny, and I expect most buyers will be over 45 and have trouble focusing on them. I Have to use the back-light even in daylight, but I just use the calendar anyway, so it's fine, but if you want to refer to it a lot in the dark, may be a problem.

* The hands cover the digital displays as they turn. Real nuisance, because I can't see the displays at an angle, have to wait `til the hands move.

* It is big and you'll likely have to remove links - I wear Large size gloves and I still had to remove 3 links.

*It is a bit tough to pull out the crown to the first stop, not the second and you really have to take the watch off to do it. Not a problem if you don't set it much, which you shouldn't need to unless you are a pilot.

Amazon got it here 2 days early even with Supersaver Shipping.

This is a very beautiful and unique pattern; we purchased the whole set (service for 8), including the square platter and vegetable platter for a gift and it turned out to be even more beautiful and functional than it appeared in the photo. It's a bit eclectic, modern, and very classy.

This is a very nice set. As you can expect from Mikasa, it's durable and beautiful, modern without being trendy. I have decades-old Mikasa that this fits in with very well. I don't use it as every day wear but a set is all you need for an occasional up-mode for a couple's meal.

As you can see from the title of the item and from other photos, it is a gorgeous chocolate brown color. I'm not sure why the main photo is a little washed out, but it should be corrected so that people who don't read descriptions can avoid the embarrassment of buying something they assumed was different than the title and text describe.

This is a a pretty good deal, though it can be found for less, and that's the only reason I give this 4 out of 5 stars.

This was ordered for a woman who does not normally wear watches.

I chose this one partially because of the quality reputation of the designer, but more importantly the attractiveness of the watch.

The 2 tone color on the watch bracelet and unit are very feminine and the fold over clasp is easy to use.  The quartz movement has a  very contemporary look and the gift box adds a nice touch.

 A lovely gift to send or receive
