Dino's Profile

My two cents: the room is fun, the rug does a gently punchy sweet and sour vs the wallpaper, the bedding seems nonchalant, the proportions (as much as are shown in the image) are inviting. Not to start a tiff, but I never trust anyone who rehearses the generalism 'let the [feature X] be a 'pop' of color'. I hear this and I feel like all the world wants to live in a time share condo in Maui circa 1988.

I was so sad when they lost the lease next door - the back patio, as scrappy as it was, did have sun and shade. These terrarium cases seem to evoke some of the greenery they lost. By the way, the new location is wonderful!

I'm so happy to see this set of cutlery (flatware) highlighted! I have many sets, but this one has a subtlety that my similar Ikea set cannot match (nor my Hackman Citterio set that I had earlier but was dreaming of this set until it was produced) for one very important reason - it is created with such consistently high refinement, each item down to the espresso spoon delights me. I really like my Ikea and Hackman set (I mention them because they seem to be from the same school of thought) but they are so, so, so very distant second place finishers compared to the quality of this Jasper Morrison for Alessi set. Now I think I'll go have something to eat just to use them again. Cheers!
