charlotte terrell

a few weeks ago, i met charlotte terrell.  her work is nothing short of stunning in person.

to achieve the unique ethereal haze that her works have, she has to use layer upon layer of tinted glaze each followed by a good dose of sanding.  the result is unlike anything we've seen.

the big (little) guy

sorry for the slow response time over the past couple of months.  we've been busy staring at this little guy.

things are starting to get a little less hectic (little is relative) and we promise to amp up the content over here on the blog.

thank you for your outstanding patience!

hooded

you don't have to be the head chef at the french laundry to appreciate a beautiful working kitchen and the crowning jewel of many of our favorite industrial-inspired kitchens is the range hood.

michael s. smith's own kitchen inspired by the working kitchen in gosford park

lately, we've been noticing how fantastic a riveted nickel hood looks with your run-of-the-mill working kitchen details like subway tile and bin pulls.  judge for yourself, but we'd take any of these nickel hoods over a fancier, frillier version any day.

two rooms: steven gambrel

steven gambrel's new monograph is chock full of witty design and unique interiors inspiring me to make him the next designer featured in the "two rooms" series.

now, to the first room: this kitchen is found in an exquisite hamptons home called six swans.  the estate was fully & massively renovated with spectacular success.  things to love: that hood...wow, those industrial pendants, and the cabinet hardware on the island.

the second "room" is really the exterior of gambrel's own seaside home.  things to love: the cloud-like boxwood beds, the door hardware/color, and the sheer number of dutch doors.

if you are in the market for a great, new coffee table book...look no further.

flee the coop friday: blackberry farm

to kick off the weekend, we're going to dangle this little getaway carrot.

just to learn more about blackberry farm's legendary operation, taste their food, see their farm animals, and experience the sheer dedication they have to their multiple crafts would be a dream.  the biggest draw?  they have their own cheese-maker.  enough said.
