It’s been a while since I’ve written about a product here and when I came across Sophie Aschauer and SerpentSea I thought – this is perfect! Sophie creates mats and key fobs out of recycled nautical twine, which comes in a variety of colors. When I first started the Yurt Project three years ago I used […]

Some might argue that our home is done and decorated but others would say that will never be true! A home evolves over time as you collect great things and receive wonder gifts (our anniversary was a case in point, I now own this).

We’ve been looking at fabric every weekend. We drive up to Zimman’s in Lynn and paw through rows of […]

A few weeks ago I was up in New Hampshire, once again visiting the Sharon Arts Center, which is regularly a source of favorite painters, pastel artists, etc. I saw a few works by Peter Batchelder and was really taken with his use of color and, of course, the barns and houses he represents through […]

While conveniently hiding from the rain at Selfridges in London I came upon their little shop within a shop of wonderful Dutch design items mostly to wear or for the home. I saw a really beautiful lantern and picked it up – that’s where I learned about Pols Potten.  The lantern was the one below […]

With less than a month to go before moving I find that I’m pouring over design magazines, online shopping and visiting interior design shops everywhere I go. In NYC I visited places like Elizabeth Bauer Designs, Tamara Magel and Room and Board but one spot I didn’t get to was Haus Interior, where a friend […]
