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. 🖤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

To my truest love: May you always know how much you mean to me (the world). May you always know what I would do for you (anything). May you always hold on to me (for life). Nothing makes me happier than being by your side. You are sunshine and moonbeams and goodness and light and I have this photo to prove it.
Forever (and ever) yours,
Mommy

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #4: Satya Twena Hats 🖤⠀⠀⠀

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #4: Satya Twena Hats 🖤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I need to tip my hat to this magical maker! Look at this embroidered detail. Have you ever seen anything quite like it? @satyatwena is a self described "storyteller through hats" which is apparent in her bold designs and personal touch. Each hat is made to order just for you. The custom Astro Halo design even sports your embroidered sun sign while shielding you from the sun herself!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's something about the image of a woman in a hat. It demands a sense of respect. But what I love about Satya's collection is that her hats carry an enchanting power. These pieces of artwork surely turn heads and dare you to play. Such an incredible amount of craftswomanship on display here. I cannot wait to do a larger feature on Satya and take you through how she started her business and her entire design and custom process! It’s awesome. Maybe I’ll just have to order one of her custom hats then. What do you think? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks for the crush referral @toastncandy! Remember to tag your favorite artisans and makers in the comments below. They could be our next big #quarantinecrush! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

CRUSH CAMPAIGN # 3: Hitomi Hisono 🖤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Holy mother of all things holy. If you have followed me for a while, you would know that I have already obsessed about this woman's immense talent before. If you are hearing about her for the first time, buckle up! Every single detail you see in this exquisite piece of porcelain is hand carved. @hitomihosono carefully examines all the veins of a leaf, how its edges are shaped and the layering of a flower’s petal. She studies botanical forms in the garden, and also recollects memories of nature from her childhood in Japan where her family runs a small rice farm. She has said that it is her intention to transfer the leaf’s beauty and detail into her ceramic work, using it as her own language to weave new stories for objects. Her process takes her many, many hours to create one piece as she constructs each object she creates solely out of many layers of the relief, carving each with modified dental tools to add incredibly fine details. The results are so exquisite that they truly take your breath away. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What new stories she is telling! It is unlike anything I have seen before. I can’t stop thinking about having one of her pieces in my own home. After seeing her pieces in reality at the last @thesalonny it solidified my previous admiration from afar. In fact, it became an obsession mine to obtain one of her pieces. It brought tears to my eyes. I promise you, once Interior Monologue becomes the site I dream it to become, this is MY dream of a master crafts piece I will purchase for my personal collection. It will last a lifetime and beyond. Manifesting my destiny.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #2: Antoinette Poisson 🖤 The t

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #2: Antoinette Poisson 🖤

The trio of paper experts who came together to create @antoinettepoisson in Paris had a vision; to preserve the almost lost art of “domino” wallpaper, which at the height of its production in the 18th century could be seen throughout the the palaces of Louis XIV’s court in France, but nearly died out completely after the French Revolution. Named for one of Louis XIV’s mistresses, who was known to have used the domino wallpaper throughout her quarters in the royal court, Antoinette Poisson was formed in order to bring this luxurious art form back to the contemporary interior.
It's amazing how exacting the creators are in their recreations, using actual 18th century documents of the original “domino” papers to create new colorways and variations for the modern home. The techniques the utilize are so specific and take time and care to create. I love it, love it!
When we might only be looking at our walls for a while... I'm wishing all of mine were masterpieces like these! 🖤 📸 by Antoinette Poisson

CRUSH CAMPAIGN # 1: Facture Goods⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before we dive in, I wanted to say thank you to all of you for all the excitement, positivity and encouragement about my post yesterday announcing the Quarantine Crush initiative! Please keep the tips on makers you love and want us to know about coming! I promise you I will review every single lead. Let's grow this community together during this challenging time. 🙏 And now, let's get it started! I was roaming through the endless streams of Instagram, I stumbled across @facturegoods and was first struck by the photographs of gorgeous hand-painted ceramic colanders with blue plaid pattern. Upon further investigation, it didn’t take long to fall completely in love with the beautiful, minimally designed, handcrafted home goods by Aron Fischer like these gorgeous flowers!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coming from a family of makers, and having a background in Fine Art, Aron brings a subtlety and beauty to his functional line of utensils and objects for the kitchen and home, along with timeless woodworking values. He also pulls inspiration from the likes of sculptor Martin Puryear, an American artist known for his devotion to traditional craft who works in wood and bronze. Along with impeccable design, Facture Goods is devoted to keeping these small handmade masterpieces functional and affordable. With the majority of the products ranging about $10-$60, Facture Goods is determined to keep quality high and prices reasonable so that Main Street can reach the masses. An admirable mission indeed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Self described as a "primitive modern" aesthetic, Facture Goods is also based in my hometown of Chicago. No wonder we both fall into such excellent taste. 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hello Friends. I hope you and your loved ones are

Hi everybody! 🙋‍♀️ How are you all doing?

Hi everybody! 🙋‍♀️ How are you all doing? 🖤 In these suddenly dark times, there are so many moments of light and love. I’m certainly not about to launch into waxing poetic about using this as an opportunity to see things in a new light, or to emerge from this whole situation all enlightened. Promise. I’ll leave that to others! In fact, I’m feeling quite the opposite of enlightened right now. I’m on the emotional roller coaster ride and I want off! One minute I’m all distressed and angry and scared and in mourning for my beloved home #NYC all the lives lost there and globally while at the same time having moments of light and love appear in such unexpected ways. Those moments where you applaud the health care workers and delivery people and mail carriers and essential workers who have more courage than I could ever imagine having. Forever grateful. Those moments when a dear friend who you really want to hug but cannot drops off fresh baked scones on your doorstep just because. Then you feel a creative burst (finally!) and feel like styling it before eating them all up! (Pictured! 👆) Or the text message exchange with your friend in LA about books to finally read that she knows you’ll love. Or the Zoom meeting for members of the Board for @parentchildplus, where you are so happy to see all you co-board member’s faces while you plan how to navigate these desperately uncertain times for families who before this crisis are already in the most dire need of help. All the passion and love we all have to help others. It’s pouring out everywhere! Or the moment when your young child whose life like ours changed on a dime turns to you on day #41 of #isolation and says how happy he is to have us all home and playing games and have family dinners and that he loves you as his teacher. (Queue heart melting whilst feeling guilty about not exactly loving being a teacher...😂) Yes. It’s all of that. 🖤 How are you all doing? Would love to hear. 🖤 #interiormonologue #interiorinspo #myinteriormonologue #newyorktough 📸 and styling by @interior.monologue aka me!
