I love white brick. That blue behind the house is the ocean, not the sky.

Slim Aarons' opening spreads from a story on Nassau, in Town & Country, 1973. The photo of Allan and Shirley Butler at their fantastic pool is one of my all time favorites.

Our friends Jay Sacher and Suzanne LaGasa have a new book out which nudges the record straight about the ancient conundrum of picture hanging. It features loads of Jay's Mark Hampton-esque interior watercolors which even include a couple of our rooms (above, filed under the catch-as-catch-can/wabi-sabi style.)

Selections from the 1977 American Institute of Architects International Chair Design Competition. There's absolutely no need for more chair designs in the world; nonetheless this does make me want to get out a pencil and join in. 

From "Chair" by Peter Bradford and Barbara Prete (1978)- which, if you're into chairs....

Berlin, Berlin!

BerlinBerlinimage berlinberlinsetup Our Berlin, Berlin! candle is now in the shop! Its chocolate and cinnamon scent is perfect for the coming season- like sitting in a cozy chair eating bon bons while your oven is baking brownies, cakes, and puddings! The glass features a gold and bronze hand-painted (by me) chocolate.

Vintage iron-ons that might look funnier on the front and back of a t-shirt, but for now they're on our studio wall.
