Yesterday Michael sent me a blog post by Becky Stern over at MAKE: on paper artist, Matt Shlian. The pictures in her post were pretty great and clearly up my alley with their repetitive nature, however, when I dug further into the pages of his work on his site I found some even more awesome […]
Much like my love for farm sinks and flatware I’ve recently discovered that I love garden stools. I have stacks of stuff all over my room and if I had garden stools strategically located perhaps those stacks would sit on a very pretty and functional pedestal. I’ve been playing around with new features of this […]
A good friend of mine, Stephanie Adamowicz (Founder of AllArtIsContemporary), is curating a show that opens this Wednesday in NYC entitled, “Mirrored Thoughts/Spaces Between” – it’ll be at Spattered Columns at Art Connects New York. The show’s going to run from Wednesday, February 16 – March 22 and while I’m not sure if I’ll make […]
Over at Contemporist the other day I was introduced to Dan Yeffet and Lucie Koldova who collaborate on many projects it seems. I poked around on Dan’s own site of his work with his studio, JellyLab and found a whole bunch of neat stuff. The first way to my heart is through felting. The above […]
So many worlds colliding! This weekend I’m heading to Chicago to meet my boyfriend’s parents for the first time. As a result, I was Googling around for cool interior decorating stores we may want to stop into and came across Elements Chicago. Looking around, looking around…I came up Dunes and Duchess’ candelabras. Turns out these […]
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 […]
Also while in NYC this weekend I went to the New York International Gift Fair – when I was living in NYC I always wanted to check out the show but never had a way in. A few lovely ladies from Natural Life attended our Nest cocktail party at Tamara Magel’s showroom on Friday night […]
This weekend I was in NYC for the Build a Nest city board retreat and met many amazing women who knew about many fabulous things. One woman at the retreat told me about her friend’s paper company, Loop, and gave me their card. Not realizing that I have a love of repetitive artwork and borderline […]
Big news on the homefront — I’m moving! My boyfriend and I have decided to move in together and so we’re decorating – so far it’s just in our minds as we don’t move in until March 5 but we look at things all the time. While he seems more concerned with furniture, I’m into […]
I’m definitely late to the party on this one but I newly am a fan of Thomas Paul and his designs on all types of objects from pillows to shawls to lampshades. I want the shawl above, which is in grey though it comes in other colors. Thomas prints and weaves his designs, this being […]
