Home. Old doors. New walls. Old floors. New rug. Old leather chairs. New sofa. Old table. New pottery. Old horns. New glassware. Mixing old and new. That’s something I now realize I consistently gravitate towards. I guess one can come to this conclusion more pointedly at this moment in time as we are in our homes so much more. I haven’t actually purchased anything in a few years for this particular room save for the pottery you can barely see on the right side. Makes me think I made the right choices. Although I really cannot wait to bust outta here! Wear your masks people. Wear them. 🖤 #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #myinteriorstyle #interiorinspo #hamptonslife #artisanmade #craftsmanship

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #10: Kai and Sunny⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s talk a little more about screenprinting, letterpress and the art of illustration. Quite a combination of disciplines and this duo from London named Kai and Sunny do it oh so well! Say that fast 10 times. (Wink.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@kaiandsunny are most inspired by natural forms they reduce to geometric patterns and figures and then translate into large-scale installations, hand-pulled screen prints infused with copper and stardust, and unique letterpress prints. Limited edition and quite a feast for the eyes, the delicacy of the line work on these prints is something to behold. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Homemade cake and spring flowers and darkly painte

Homemade cake and spring flowers and darkly painted walls and hanscrafted ceramic dishes that you buy once and keep forever. It’s a sort of ritual I find myself doing when I need to feel more grounded in my space. Now the flowers have wilted. The cake has been inhaled. The rest await a fresh batch so back into the cupboard they go. Anyone else have a ritual they do to create a sense of grounding? #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #myhomestyle #interiorinspo #bakersgonnabake #handmadeisbestmade #handcrafted #craftsmanship

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #9: Vetro Vero Glass⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recall I stopped in my tracks and my jaw dropped when I first saw this display of @vetrovero glassware. Isn't it stunning? Vetro Vero has the steadfast mission to preserve traditional techniques and express creative innovation through obsessive excellence in design and craftsmanship. Case in point is this stemware. These mesmerizing hand blown glass creations are made in Pennsylvania by a husband and wife team, Michael Schunke and Josie Gluck. I have been a longtime fan of Vetro Vero and was thrilled to meet them at the AD show in NYC a little while back. What's even more unique is their studio, housed in a repurposed creamery building next to the farmhouse where they reside. Keep your eyes peeled for what's next from this dynamic duo!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out this fabulous maker and a few of my other hand selected picks from the AD Design Show and DIFFA back when we went to these types of things.

My heart almost burst wide open last night. Why? Well, I think it’s divine intervention. We went to the beach for a family walk after another day of distressing world news. We all needed some fresh air and another perspective. When we got to the ocean there was this really heavy mist in the air so we almost turned around. But we didn’t. Then we climbed the sand dunes and were greeted by this glorious site! Can you believe it? The beach was completely empty. Our son started dancing and none of us could stop grinning. It was like we were in Narnia. I still cannot believe it happened. Sadly, this photo doesn’t even come close to capturing the beauty. Trust me, it was epic. Somewhere over the rainbow....🌈 #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #hamptonslife #interiorinspo #craftsmanship #somewhereovertherainbow #itsasign

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #7: Westman Atelier⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Gah! I want this rug! I’m in search of a rug for

Gah! I want this rug! I’m in search of a rug for our home office. Sadly, my dream rug and my reality ie. the post massive-gut-renovation-of-an-old-house budget don’t seem to align right now. In other words, no more money in the budget for a rug like this. Sadness! But a girl can dream! I’d rather leave the floor bare then sacrifice style and quality. Less is more. Buy once, buy what you love, make sure it’s produced the way it should be! Keep it always. I promise I would love this #handcrafted rug forever and always. It’s an heirloom! I am telling you this is the dream rug! Designed by one of my favorite designers the Lebanese-born, Paris dwelling @eliesaabworld for one of my favorite companies @therugcompany, I would buy without hesitation. Have I mentioned that yet? Haha. Some more details about this room that I’ve kept under wraps. The room is paneled and cozy, painted in a rich glossy dark blue paint. Wouldn’t this be perfect? I don’t need to ask. It would. 🖤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does anyone have anything they dream of owning for their home? Let’s share our dreams! We are all looking at the insides of our homes a lot right now. Let’s keep on dreaming and sharing. Stay safe. 🖤

Happy Sunday from me and my favorite flowers. I would like to send a shout out to the amazing folks at @dutchflowerline_nyfg for helping the trade keep their spirits up and creativity up as well during this difficult time. I’d like to give a shout out to my flower-girl-forever-partner-in-crime @kara_keigan! I miss our events and our styling sessions and our #flowerfridays and our early mornings in the flower district in NYC. Hot coffee ☕️ in hand! What joy. Cannot wait to be back at it. I miss you all. I miss you NYC. Hope this new week brings us all a little bit of hope and a few more smiles. Virtual hugs will always help, too. 💗

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #5: Design Loves Milano 🖤⠀⠀

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #5: Design Loves Milano 🖤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take a seat. Perhaps in the ones pictured since today's crush is a shoutout to the overall design industry and their amazing outpouring of generosity for an incredible cause. In fact, today you can buy one of these amazing chairs by one of my design heroines @cristinacelestino for @billianidesign and donate all the proceeds to charity! Allow me to explain. If you are a design fanatic like myself, you might want to check out the online auction catalogue for Design Loves Milano. Since April’s Milan Design Week was forced to cancel due to a global pandemic, today the city is instead hosting a congregation of international creative talent and championing a wonderfully worthy cause. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#DesignLovesMilano will give buyers around the world the opportunity to pick up some beautiful furniture and in doing so, support Milan’s Luigi Sacco Hospital to which all proceeds will be donated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The auction list is drool-worthy and includes donations from celebrated contemporary designers, such as work by Milan-based Cristina Celestino (pictured) and Faye Toogood, alongside classic pieces from Ettore Sottsass and other stars of not only Italian but global designers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The outpouring of items donated by designers was so great that the organisers had to stop accepting their donations! Clearly the name did justice to the cause proving that the design world truly does love Milano! So follow my lead, take a peak at some great talents and their equally great pieces of work and maybe you can pick up a piece yourself all in the name of a good cause. 🖤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
