For this second instalment of Minimalist Design Crush, I want to introduce you to Bethanie Kaye, a Canadian woodturner who makes the most gorgeous modern, minimalist homewares. She uses only sustainably sourced woods and works primarily with walnut, ambrosia maple, elm, pine and cherry.

I came across her work on my Instagram feed and have been smitten ever since. I want every. single. thing. on her page.
Her wooden pieces are both practical home staples and works of art in their own right.
You know that saying "have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful"? I'd take this a step further and suggest that the useful stuff should also be beautiful, when possible.
The most put-together interiors are those where everyday items fit in, or even contribute, to an aesthetic.
Everything Bethanie Kaye creates is both useful and beautiful.

So, of course, I had to have some of this woody goodness for my very own.
I spent over an hour agonizing over which pieces to get. It would've been easier to pick out what not to get.
In the end, I narrowed it down to three of these jaw-dropping candleholders made of beautiful Iroko wood (which is a more budget-friendly, teak dupe from Africa):

When they arrived, I was delighted to find they were even more beautiful than I'd expected. They lasted two seconds in the box before I stuck them full of candles and flaunted them on our entryway table.
That wood grain? To die for.
Too soon for string lights? Once Halloween's over, Holiday decor's fair game in my book.
Candles and candleholders are some of my fave ways to hygge up your home. But, if you're not into candles, these make beautiful decorative objets in their own right.
That's all for this second instalment of 'Minimalist Design Crush!'
Check out Bethanie Kaye's Instagram for more beautiful and functional wooden pieces.
Stay tuned for future posts on Sustainable Christmas Decor Ideas and my new series 'Pretty Ugly Things' where I'll share with you the least hideous options for common household eyesores.

So how do we know this is the watch Ettore kept for himself, rather than one gifted to one of his crew members? link Easy. It's the only known example link presented with a matching integrated gold bracelet. All the other Mido watches commissioned by Bugatti were presented on leather straps.Sometimes it's good to be link the boss.
American actor link James Garner's Cartier Baignoire (lot 23) and custom-dial Heuer Carrera (lot 24) can both be yours, but make sure to read our previous coverage on Garner's Carrera, from 2017, link right here. And I don't know about you, but I can hardly keep my eyes off the black-polished tourbillon bridge on the one-of-20 link Lange 1 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst (lot 49).
The link tale link of the tape will tell you that Phillips continued its market-leading position, with a total sale of CHF 35.9 million (about $39.7 million) and five watches selling for more than CHF 1 million. Even with a still-down link website, Christie's hobbled to CHF 22.8 million, while Sotheby's moved CHF 11 million (with another few million still to close from its online sale).
And it wouldn't be Chanel without a mega-watt high-jewelry piece that's all ice on the surface, with rainbow-colored baguette sapphires streaming across the sides. The 12 link Electro Star, limited to 12 numbered pieces, has more link than enough star power to outshine a link disco ball.
