Absolutely beautiful
architecture, flower pots,
and sheer white curtain walls.
This is my new favorite book.

A Pantone color guide for Quebec City, QC
"Revealing Urban Colours"
By Todd Falkowsky
Ah, the color palettes of our cities!
Graphically speaking, I think it is so interesting
to distinguish the color sequence
of a particular city.

For me,
Paris is grey
New York is soot brown
Stockholm is burnt copper
and San Francisco is a rainbow of pastels

Good morning Lauren!
I thought you'd like to wake up
and see your own bedroom staring
right back at you.
(note her new Weinrib carpet)

Spring forward...
When I think of a great cut jacket
I think of Yves saint Laurent
(classic yet other-worldly)
fittingly shown at

My morning in the Bowery
continued with a stop at the
New 235 Bowery Museum
For a good long moment,
I stared at the great verticality of the building.
I stared at a young man's bright purple pants.
And I stared at cinema's one-of-a-kind,
Maggie Cheung, standing so casually
beside me.
2 or 3 things...
I liked the museum's architecture,
designed by Japanese firm SANAA
I liked the Wolff Olins graphic campaign
(thus, I kept my beautiful ticket stub)
I liked the colorful bathroom tiles,
as I photographed above.
...and yet, I disliked all the art
New + Old
Bond St.
NYC
Let's just say, the Bowery
ain't the Bowery anymore.
the old cast-iron hood has new neighbors.
Rather precocious impersonators;
borderline presumptuous...a bit fresh
(which ever way you read it)

Sigur Rós

Heima
=
'at home' / 'homeland'
After years of traveling the globe,
the Icelandic Alt. rock group, Sigur Rós,
longed to return home and play for the
very country and people who helped
cultivate their distinct sound.

The beautiful film, Heima,
documents the 2 week journey of Sigur Rós
as they played free, unannounced concerts for
the people and places that make up "home".
Whether it was in old factories, community halls,
barely fields, or at the foot of majestic mountains,
old & young grabbed a blanket
and listened to their famed-boys
play just for them.
watch trailer
The film has a beautifully
eerie "Pink Floyd" feeling

Anarchy Rules
"Punk House: Interiors in Anarchy"
by Abby Banks
...so a little chaos is fun.
Sometimes I feel a bit burdened
by the esteemed world of design.
So I think my style tends to fall between:
clean elegance + pack-rat eclecticism.
I try to control my piles and random collections,
but maybe I should embrace it more?
perfection is kinda boring...much less,
possible?

psychedelic urban wanderings
...and these "makeshift-decor" spaces

These interiors feel like a Bernardo Bertolucci film:
passionate, surreal, spontaneous, unrestrained
Didn't our dadaist-friend, André Breton,
call this" automatism"?

A Bronx Tale
An abandoned 16-room Bronx mansion,
previously owned by Williams Evers,
was just bought by a young family for $675,000
Practically untouched for decades, the
house is just radiating mystery
...and tedious renovation!
