In a continuous effort to overhaul my living space, I’ve been looking for products with good functionality and design. I’ll admit it, I’m a sucker for good and pretty things. Yup, I’ve chosen good design over functionality before. You would think I’ve learned my lesson (well, almost). But let me tell you, I recently stumbled on this shop, Kettle & Brine and I don’t think I need to worry about making same mistakes. It’s a home shop based in Austin, Texas. I love how they value good food and good design. They only carry products that support craftsman and makers who share the same core value as them. Shops like these help me to make better decisions when it comes to design vs. functionality. See few of my current favorites from their shop!

I’ve been trying to make small batches of homemade kimchi on a weekly basis. I’ve also been telling myself maybe it’s about time that I have my own fermentation jar? Once again, my eyes all brighten when I saw this Stoneware Fermentation Crock on Kettle & Brine.
