Sweet Design Sunday | For the Everyday, Not Just the Occasion

There’s a rhythm to daily life at home. Wiping down the counter after breakfast. Rinsing the sink after dinner. Reaching for a paper towel when the syrup runs wild or the almond butter gets everywhere.
In homes filled with movement and meaning, even the most functional objects deserve a little beauty. So today, let’s pause and reimagine the humble paper towel roll—not just as a cleaning tool, but as a beautifully designed essential that honors our rituals and routines.
From Pancake Mornings to After-Dinner Wipe Downs
Picture a slow Sunday morning. The kitchen smells like cinnamon and coffee. You’ve just plated a batch of golden pancakes and reach for your aesthetic paper towel roll—one with a soft, subtle pattern that matches your home’s warm palette.
That tiny pause—when design meets utility—becomes something lovely. A micro-moment of care.
Later that evening, after bedtime stories and kitchen clean-up, the same roll is waiting. It’s no longer just paper. It’s part of the rhythm. A soft reminder that intentional design lives in the little things, too.
Home Essentials with Soul
Everyday items should feel just as considered as the big statement pieces. That’s the heart of intentional home design—making space for beauty where you least expect it.
Imagine gifting someone a paper towel roll printed with gentle affirmations or quiet illustrations of motherhood, memory, or movement. Or better yet—imagine choosing that for yourself. Because your work in the home matters, and the items that support you should reflect that.
Whether it’s stylish cleaning products or design-forward home goods, we believe form and function should walk hand in hand.
The Beauty in the Everyday
At Corner of 7th and Moody, we design for the unseen spaces—the quiet corners, the tucked-away routines, the daily gestures that shape a home.
That includes the little things: the way a soft pattern catches the light on a roll by the sink. The way that roll can say, “I see you. I see your effort.”
Because good design doesn’t just live in the wow moments. It lives in the wipe downs, the spills, and the everyday resets. And that’s something worth celebrating.
A Thoughtful Question Before You Go…
What if your paper towel roll wasn’t just useful… but beautiful, intentional, and even a little bit joyful?
Would you reach for it differently?
And how might your home feel if even the most ordinary items—home essentials, cleaning tools, even paper towels—were designed with care, story, and soul?
With so much love,
Andrea
