Blog Love: Clean+Istry

From Julie:

We think we have found our soulmate: a blogger who goes by the moniker clean+istry. Visit her blog detailing her adventures in cleaning: cleanistry.typepad.com. We have reproduced her first entry here:VIPP Toilet Brush:Vipp1_4

If Clean+istry were to be reincarnated as a toilet brush, we would most certainly choose to return as a VIPP. The VIPP line of waste bins and toilet brushes are spare and solid and modern and timeless.

We first spotted a row of them in Conran’s and fell hard for their pleasing industrial lines. We desired them in bulk quantities. At $200 a pop they aren’t cheap, but the parts are replaceable.

Is toilet brush affection unusual? Maybe.

Is it wrong? No.
