ROUND IS IN [orb binary light*niche nyc] i love niche nyc‘s lighting. it all looks very scientific to me, in a good way- like they should be in a lab, surrounded by people in white coats. but, they would still look totally cool in your house. editor’s note: whoops! my bad- i didn’t see land+living’s…
maybe it’s because i’m a gemini, but my inner interior decorator is constantly flipping back and forth between colorful contemporary and super feminine victorian chic. in an attempt to satisfy the latter, i cruised on by ochre home today and left feeling as though my inner girly girl was happy, very very happy. take a…

i’ve been a fan of wayne thiebaud since college. my printmaking teacher was a huge fan of his and i managed to sneak away with a book of his gorgeously decadent dessert-obsessed paintings when i graduated. so, you could imagine my delight when, after reading josh rubin’s post on risd student timothy liles (i love…
