emma jeffs
i’m considering using emma jeff‘s adhesive window stickers in our bathroom…despite the rather high pricetag, i think it might make me happy enough to be work the cost in the long run. plus, as a renter i jump at the chance to add pattern to the walls and windows that isn’t permanent. i was deciding…
stuart
the ny times ran a fantastic article this morning on a new online gallery program created by charles saatchi. i’ve always admired saatchi’s love for student work and he seems to be doing well by the students who’ve made him a lot of money over the years. he’s created a new website called “stuart” (it…

at home: chloë sevigny
last week at h&g we passed around the january issue and checked out a new spread on chloë sevigny‘s home. i expected lots of edge and “look at me” accessories. you know, something that said “i was in the brown bunny“. but when i opened the issue i was shocked to see a stylish, dare…

ferm living
yesterday i got an email from designer trine anderson who runs a small design company in denmark called ferm living. trine designs really beautiful wallpaper that combines bold graphic designs with bright pops of color. i’m nuts about the peacock pattern, but the entire collection is lovely. there’s plenty to see at ferm (including an…

ayumi horie
i’ve heard ayumi horie‘s name so many times before (mostly from the gang at variegated) but i have no idea what took me so long to post about her. ayumi is a potter based in rosendale, ny who creates truly unique hand-made designs. there is such heart and soul to her work i find it…
