Restoration Hardware: new flatware line

I was pleasantly surprised when I got an email from Restoration Hardware introducing their new tableware. I never saw it coming, but it does make sense for them to try to offer more variety than just furnishings.  Their new tableware includes the typical dinnerware, serveware, glasses, entertaining pieces,  some table linens, and my favourite: flatware. You see, hubby and I have got a thing for flatware – well, let’s just say that he actually cares about what I buy in that department more than normal.  I don’t know what it is exactly, but he has no opinion on dishes,or most other home things I get,  however when it comes to flatware, it’s like a different story. He’s very picky, and he will only let me buy “quality” flatware - whatever that means.  His  most recent request has been for flatware made with wood.  A long time ago, I was enamored with flatware that I saw in a magazine, and I showed it to him, and of course, he loved it too, and ever since, we've both been trying to find something similar. You’d think it’d be quite easy to find, but seriously, we haven’t had any luck at all in probably 2 years. They’re either not the right wood tone, or not well made enough for him.

Lucky for us, there seems to be a few styles that we both actually love from RH – even if they’re not all wood.

This first one is made with wood handles, and I love how they're not too chuncky. The colour is darker than I would prefer, but still absolutely handsome.

Bois

I totally ADORE this one below. It's made with horn, which has that great natural ombre finish. It feels so special and totally says LUXE to me. Sooo nice!

And this one below, I must absolutely have! It's made from bone. I love the warm colour and the character. It almost looks like wood from far, and has that look that we've been after for so long.

Natural Bone

I also love this. It looks like hand-wrought iron, but it's done in a more modern form, which provides beautiful balance and constrast.

Knowing that RH usually produces good quality stuff, I'm really excited to go check these out in person at the store. I'm hoping they will feel as good as they look!  NOTE: In case you're going to hit the store, I went to RH at Bayview Village yesterday and they didn't have anything in stock to display as of yet. Likely will be in the next week they said.

Which one is your favourite?
