Wood Pool Decking
With summer approaching we cannot stop thinking and posting about pools. So chic how these decks go right up to the pool waters edge. Fashion.
Wythe Hotel
The new local hangout for us. Love how the old warehouse meets the new glass building. Read more about it and see all of the pics on the NYTimes site.
Boxwood Craze
It is amazing what a little green (real or fake) can do to a spot. Backyards, signs, walls…can’t even tell the difference but love the look.
Ligne Roset – Togo Sofa
Currently obsessed with this sofa (this month). Thinking it would look great in a super modern monochromatic setting. Find details and pricing here.
Donna – Williamsburg
Old fashioned has been going strong in New York for it seems like eternity. Evan and Oliver Haslegrave are the brothers behind hOmE an interior, furniture and lighting design firm. They have been responsible for several of New York and Brooklyn establishments in the old fashion vein. Donna is the latest project from them and...
Mario Testino
So in our Hacienda Style post there were a few pics of celeb homes- one being Fashion Photographer Mario Testino’s LA home as seen in a Vogue editorial. Kind of genius.
Los Angeles Hacienda Style
There is something really Graham and Co about a white stucco facade and a terracotta roof line. And though we are NY based we could get really into this Beverley Hills style.
Brook Landscape
City backyards have been in our minds recently- and after a few Google searches we came across a Brooklyn based landscape firm called Brook Landscape- on landing on the front page of the site an image jumped out and immediately noticed it was from the backyard of recently sold Park Slope townhouse owned by J...
Vintage Pool Lounge Chairs
There is something sort of chic about a touch of retro for the garden and pool area.
Country Pools
So it has been a few since we posted- a bit over a month to be exact. Clearly we are busy folk however the summer in NY has arrived and it is hot. Hence this pool post and though it isn’t our first (def not the last) these pools are all screaming country house. Perhaps...
Tiny Weekend Cottage
Loving this cute little “shack” weekend retreat for a DC family. Situated in the mountains of West Virginia on 27 acres. The space was designed by Broadhurst Architects.
Alketas Pazis
Living this post from yatzer. Alketas Pazis has this amazing temporary showroom, connected to his living space, to showcase his love for collecting all things old and interesting. A quote “A design has deeper meaning when it is influenced from the past and reinterpreted into the future”. Very chic.
Houses Made From Concrete
This post doesn’t have a ton of information but these are just some insanely amazing homes all constructed from concrete. Cold austere sharp angled grey concrete- How can we not be obsessed- total and utter fashion. Though we love rustic and warmth every now then severity calls our name… and after all we did...
Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria
Il Buco the classic go to on Bond St. opened another great spot around the corner on Great Jones St. earlier this fall. The cheese selection at the deli counter is fantastic – at the deli you can grab a take away sandwiches and espresso… or if you want something more formal there is a...
Cold Spring Apothecary – Cold Spring, NY
While doing some shopping in upstate new york this weekend, we stumbled upon this great shop selling amazingly scented items such as candles, face products, hair products, and perfumes. Cold Spring Apothecary produces their products in small batches and they contain no harmful chemicals. We recommend visiting the store, as the setup is simple and...
Atmosphere
Just stumbled upon this amazing interior design “bureau” located in Switzerland. This was started by Paul Yunacopoulos-Gross and wife Sophie. Together they create such amazing, simple, modern, warm spaces. Check out some great images below taken from their site.
Celestino – Bed-Stuy
From the guys behind the amazingly good (and cozy) Saraghina restaurant in Bed-Stuy comes a second in the up and coming hood that will focus more on seafood as opposed to authentic pizza. The lure for us is the simple yet tasteful use of nautical decor to create a seafaring theme. Photos and more details...
