living in: twin peaks

To call David Lynch’s 1990 TV show Twin Peaks a cult classic would be an understatement, a disrespect to the thousands who worship at the shrine of Agent Dale Cooper and the small Washington town he investigates. When the homecoming queen winds up in a body bag, the town’s thin veneer of respectability shatters, leaving TV viewers all over the world asking, Who killed Laura Palmer? — Amy Merrick

still + company / sit and read

When Brooklyn’s Still + Company gets together with Sit and Read, great things happen. I’ve seen overdyed rugs used in many different ways lately, but these sling chairs are by far my favorite. Created as part of a collaborative show at Sit and Read Gallery, Still + Company made these custom chairs using Persian rugs that were cut, hemmed and then hand-stitched onto wrought-iron frames. Each is handmade in Brooklyn and makes quite a statement. Click here to check them out in more detail, and click play below to watch a beautiful video about the collaboration between these great local companies. That purple overdyed rug is so gorgeous. xo, grace

my heart on a platter

There’s an old saying about handing someone your heart on a silver platter. If I were to take that risk, I’d rather serve it up on something a little cuter. These sweet porcelain heart dishes are from Astier de Villatte in France and measure about five inches in diameter. Perfect for a little jewelry or key dish, they’re a less risky way to tell someone you care without all the drama and shine of polished silver.

pink & red, part 2

Speaking of pink + red, this notebook is fantastic. I want to design an entire room around this color palette; it’s warm, seasonally appropriate and manages to feel modern and slightly retro at the same time. If you need a notebook to keep yourself organized this time of year, click here to pick one up ($9.50 each). xo, grace

pink & red

Every February it feels like pink + red are an unstoppable duo. Cards, artwork, gifts and even food take on sweeter hues. While I tend to shy away from this color combo in my personal life (but don’t mind it at the office, where I like to feel jolted by color more often), this pattern is really working for me. When the page loaded with the main image, all I could think was “hotcha!” A good hot pink is always hard to resist. Click here to pick up a sheet ($4.50) of this gift wrap at Kate’s Paperie. xo, grace
