I love doing breakfast like this. Covid has certainly brought a certain amount of peace to my home life. This is how we do our weekend mornings. Pancakes or French toast and loads of the best maple syrup on earth from @laurelandashfarm. 🍁 Available in my shop. Handcrafted deliciousness. Made in NY. 🍁 #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #myhomedecor #handcrafted #handmadeisbestmade #craftsmanship #artisanmade

As soon as I can do so, I am hoping on a plane to London do go to dinner at this new, stunning restaurant @maisonfrancoislondon with my London crew. You know who you are! So get ready. Because when we slide into these handcrafted, walnut booths with this chic piped edging, we might never leave. Designed by The Guild of Saint Luke, one of the most gobsmackingly cool interior design firms I’ve ever come across (more on that later), just the photographs by Oskar Protor @oskar.proctor of this place alone are drool worthy. I haven’t read about the food, but I am not so sure I care! I just cannot wait to go. London, my former home, and all my darling friends there, I miss you! 🇬🇧❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #16: Mimi Thorisson One of my abs

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #16: Mimi Thorisson

One of my absolute favorite blogs to follow is Manger, by the fabulous and talented Mimi Thorisson. The blog documents the life of the Thorisson family with dreamy bucolic photos of Mimi and her children running through the idyllic French countryside, or in her beautiful kitchen, making something scrumptious. Everything in the photographs she shares is effortlessly stylish, the epitome of farmhouse chic, European-style. The family's latest travels took them to Italy, where Mimi was working on her latest cookbook.

So I have some good news for all of you with a serious case of wanderlust. Mimi has just released said latest cookbook, Old World Italian, featuring Italian recipes alongside stunning photography by her husband Oddur Thorisson. I, for one, cannot wait to pick up my copy. Link in bio to read our feature all about Mimi, her gorgeous family and her enviable European adventure of a life! 🖤

Interior Monologue’s Meet the Maker: glaze studi

Birds of a feather flock together. Have you even t

Birds of a feather flock together. Have you even thought about that phrase? For some reason, this morning, I did and I’d love to share with you some thoughts I had. I don't know about you, but I am T.I.R.E.D. So tired and yet oddly energized by my flock. I’ll explain. This has been quite the year for all of us, and in my case, on top of a really tough year spent recovering from a terrible head injury and post concussion syndrome. Happy to be healed and alive. But yes, I am tired. But I keep on flying. We all do. And in times like these, I do think there is some comfort to be had in surrounding ourselves with like-minded "birds" that encourage us to live our life to its fullest potential and not get held back by our tiredness or the long journey we have been on. So why post about this and this phrase? Because I found it so interesting when I learned where the phrase comes from. Birds of a feather flock together because flocking together allows birds to use less energy when they fly. Take for example that you’ve probably seen the V formation that some birds fly in. Each bird flies in the wake of another, which reduces the wind resistance for the ones in the back. Less wind resistance equates to less energy is needed to fly. Genuis! The bird in the front has it the hardest, but wouldn’t you know it, they all take turns being in the front. They all take turns. That is simply beautiful to me.

Do you want to take a ride on a magic carpet? Well, I’ve found you one! This ☝️. Incredibly beautiful, isn't it? It is by the talents at @atelierfevrier. But wait, there is more than just good looks happening here. It is also their process and the craft that I am crushing on! The design process for them starts with a hand drawn sketch. From the paper, it transforms into a real sized drawing that that begins being hand-knotted by expert weaves in Nepal, a team comprised of around 50 people. Each of the Atelier rugs reflects originality and uniqueness to their craftsmanship nature in a way I haven’t seen before. From the premium wool sourced from Tibet, to the finest silk brought in from China, these rugs are truly crafted in with the finest materials. Together these elements protect the rug to age well, and add durability and luster. The whole process takes a minimum of 14 weeks. One other element that I love is that the rugs are fair trade and environmentally friendly, which are also core foundations to Atelier Ferrier through the use of only natural fibers and ethical work treatment of their teams in Nepal and Tibet. Brilliant work! Shall we all go out and order one now? I say yes! Link in bio to read all about this magical carpet (maker). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #15: Rogan Brown I haven't stopped

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #15: Rogan Brown

I haven't stopped thinking about these incredible and oh-so-intricate paper sculptures since I found artist Rogan Brown. Each time I look I discover a new microscopic detail that takes my breath my away! How does he do this? How long it must take him to create these sculptures! It's so awe-inspiring!

Speaking of inspiring, Rogan Brow is directly inspired by the narratives of scientific discovery — "My work comes into being in the space where science fact and science fiction meet and merge." He works as a non-scientist to visualize and comprehend the world of scient to an outsider. The result — incredibly detailed paper sculptures that can change our perception of simple bacteria through contemporary culture.

Rogan gravitated towards paper as a medium due to its accessibility and simplicity. The talent it requires to transform a banal material into something so visually extraordinary truly speaks to his talent. I still cannot believe he makes this out of paper. It is mind-boggling to me. Absolutely in awe. Super crush! 🖤

This is NYC. My home. A surprise can await you around every corner. A photographic moment at any turn. It is moments like these and images like this one that I can snap with my phone and still be a little bit of the photographer that I was in my younger days. Fun fact! I had a scholarship for photography in college and of late, have found myself pining for the good 'ole days when images weren't gone in hours off "stories" or shared without credit. The days where you had to wait to develop your negatives in the dark room and you printed each image by hand. The smell of the developer as you listened to music in that darkroom, your second home, while humming along to your favorite songs. Waiting to see if you had a "good one" and if the "burning and dodging" technique worked the way you hoped it would. I bet there are some people even wondering what I am talking about! Well, I have truly aged myself. But I don't care! I miss those days. So I decided to go for a walk around my city to capture some images today. It felt good. This is one of my captures. I am so glad to be here. My city. My home. My people. We can do this, NYC. We are little subdued, a little pensive, a lot hurting, but we are New Yorkers. We will rise again stronger than before. NYC, you pick us. We have to choose you. I choose you. I love you, NYC. Forever. 📸 by me! Aka @interior.monologue ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
