I hope someone picks up on manufacturing polaroid film. It's so sad to see another film based medium bite the dust. I had a Polaroid Land 250 which had the nicest film qualities. Great...

My hunch is that in addition to the decor of the nooks, you feel cozy and happy because you are in a good Third Place. Not home (first place) not work (second place) but that very valuable inbetwee...

By accident or cosmic design, I've almost always lived on streets with tree associated names. Park Avenue in Manhattan. Park Place (near Flatbush) in Brooklyn. Maple Lane and Juniper Lane in Woods...

How do we submit pictures?

I prefer the Stark, but honestly I'd have to see the quality of the light they produce. Lamps are not just to look at but to illuminate, and different shades/bulbs can produce such different effects.

Complex Love is a brilliant series. Seriously. On many levels. My only request: I'd love to see a brief social and architectural history of each complex and the neighborhood it's situa...

That was fascinating. And gorgeous. Does anyone know the narrator's name? I agree with godsfool, very familiar. Love the cold war propaganda via commodity fetishism. The American way: ...

Talk about a short deadline!

What a stupid sexist and homophobic idea. What would the institution of marriage have anything to do with design? Grrr.

I bet Charles and Rae Eames would be tickled pink to have an era named after them. Wouldn't you? But I know what you mean.

I adore that blue. I bet you will, too, if you paint your walls and the cabinet to harmonize with it. Make your walls a deep hue, even an olive green, with some red accents around the room. And if ...

Looks like a shin banger to me. Ouch. If it were me, I'd get a mattress that goes beyond the frame. I know the point is to have the frame show, but are the bruises worth it?

That chair is by Kevin and Jonathan Racek of Stew Design Workshop. They were headquartered in Burlington Vt until recently. Their chairs are both beautiful and comfortable. I had one in my gallery ...

Yay for Paige Russell! Her ceramics are fantastic. We sell them here at Pine Street Art Works (the place in Vermont that had the paint by number show last month) and Paige's studio is right down th...

Find a nice big salvage window. Take it to a glass place. They will replace the glass with mirror. Very cool, relatively cheap way to add a unique mirror to your home.

I think it is beautiful, I do love chintz, and I could imagine it somewhere in my house. But what struck me when I saw it in the catalog is that there is only one print/color available. So thousand...

You can go to most carpet dealers and find leopard print meant for wall to wall, then have it cut and bound in the size you want. They may have to search their catalogs but there are manufacturers ...

Curtis: thanks so much for your inspiration and kind words. Marco: The red chair on my homepage is one of the few things NOT for sale in the gallery. It was made in the late sixties by my cou...
