We’re back from Scotland! It was an amazing trip and I saw lots of cool landscape, animals and architecture. As I was suffering overnight from some initial jetlag I came upon the art of Petah Coyne (more on that soon). In doing some research I ended up looking closer at the products and pieces of […]

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). DwellStudio just started offering home accessory items according to some Twitter […]

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 […]

Driving through London last week I spotted a rug hanging in a window – I quickly whipped around (I was in the back seat) and jotted the name down on a lark, Luke Irwin. Turns out it’s an awesome thing I did because Luke’s custom rug making studio makes some pieces that are reminiscent of […]

The brilliant minds of Rubie Green and Brand Arts, who frequently team up on projects like Lonny Photo, have unveiled their latest and greatest as of yesterday — Lonny Mag. Many are calling this the follow-up to Domino, which sadly closed recently due to the economy. I have talked to many friends since the launch […]

Next week, on Tuesday the 23rd, Nest is hosting an event for Proud Mary at the lingerie boutique, Journelle here in New York. I think this is an amazing group of women coming together – the fabulous Claire Chambers who run Journelle, Rebecca Kousky at Nest and Molly and Harper of Proud Mary, the company […]

I learned about Amy Helfand today via Apartment Therapy and fell in love with her carpets. Amy is originally from Chicago but now lives and works in Brooklyn. I love how topographical some of her works are – both her prints and her newer rug works. The one above is called Trail Runner and it’s […]

Another fabulous female textile designer I learned about today is Carolina Irving who sort of reminds me of John Robshaw in her patterns but her touch is much lighter. Her Andaluz print is on 100% hemp and is hand-printed. Above is in Paprika, below is Lichen, which I also really like. It seems natural that […]

I’m regularly surprised by the artists that operate within a few blocks of my apartment here in New York. After writing about Lonny Photo I discovered Patrick Cline worked a two minute walk from me in Chelsea. In reading about Christopher Spitzmiller I learned he’s just a few short blocks north of me as well […]

I was re-discovering Nest yesterday and came upon Kate Henri’s amazing handwoven pillows on their site. Nest’s mission is to connect women through art, craft and opportunity. A great concept that they back up through a sort of “pay it forward” system whereby designers select one or two products of theirs to have the proceeds […]
