My friends N and O constantly inspire me with their simple, brilliant solutions to the everyday, imbued with their very unique, very personal style. Here N uses a lemon to stopper her carafe of filtered water: perfect. (It would work equally well for iced tea or lemonaid.)

When I asked if I can blog what I see in their home, they said “Okay, but please don’t say who we are; we like our privacy.” It’s a deal!  The idea stays the same whether you know who thought it up of not.

More anonymous brilliance to come over the next few weeks…
