After spending some time at the Danish Design Museum I became interested in tessellated lamps. I came across British artist, Richard Sweeney, somewhere along and adore the patterns he creates, largely out of paper. His paper folding technical skills speak for themselves as pieces of wall art, sculpture, and X-acto tactics. The below would make […]

While I’m partial to Dash and Albert for their sturdiness and cost-effective pricing I also love Madeline Weinrib’s rugs for their design and durability too. My friends Samantha and Leah have several of the pink Brooke rug in their apartment and it’s elegant while not being too loud for their space. As a huge fan […]

As a former metalsmith myself I love when I find unique ideas by artist’s in that arena. Andreas Fabian is an artist from a diverse background who takes items, particularly those for the table, and reimagines them in humorous while incredibly functional ways – like the platter, hemDing, below. I love that it’s a shovel […]

My mom has a habit of seeing artwork she likes and blowing it up to paint onto either a huge canvas or a folding screen – really anything she can find. She has done it with Sonia Delauney works and others. When I came upon Kim Parker’s designs I was immediately struck by how similar […]

The online shop, Droog, brings together many designers that I normally may not have come across. What first led me to it was seeing this Hare Mat in a photo of someone’s apartment. My first and only pet in my life was a rabbit once upon a time and this large mat reflects my longstanding […]

I was reading Elle Decor at the gym yesterday and came across this beautiful rug company they were highlighting, Fort Street Studio. I love that they use the look of watercolors in their rugs – would alleviate spill guilt…not at all. It just looks like a wine ring! Stripe’s Edge – very cool. Beautiful colors […]

I’m a big fan of handprinted fabric. I’ve posted on Virginia Johnson here before but today I came upon an Etsy printer, HomeSweet, who is a blockprinting scientist – literally. Her Eyelet pattern above is simple and fresh! I love the varied green shades in her Leaf Weave pattern. Minileaves here – very Orla Kiely!

Maine Cottage has the most amazing colors available for all of their furniture pieces and great accessories from artwork to lamps to tableware. They also sell my favorite […]

The first time I saw Breakfast at Tiffany’s I really adored the bathtub couch. It’s not the type of item I could easy have in my apartment but I just thought it captured Holly Golightly’s personality in a piece of furniture. Like almost every young girl living alone in New York I feel a kindred […]

Where my folks live in New Hampshire there are some fabulous little antiques stores for the peepers who come up every year to see the leaves change colors. My favorite is Red Chair Antiques for its collection of furniture, household items, as well as collectibles, a few beads, ribbons, stamps, vintage bags and nightgowns, odd […]
