here wishing you a lovely long weekend! what are you up to? anything fun? i just wallpapered the little dining room of my house by the sea (this is the pattern) and it's so, SO fabulous in person. so spending the weekend hanging back up a few paintings, cleaning the house (it's raining cats and dogs this weekend) and sipping some IPA's. not bad, not bad at all. 

and i'm not back to work until wednesday, then headed to maine for the weekend with friends next week, golfing a round by the ocean (i've never golfed but watch it on t.v. ALL the time, will see how i do!) and eating our weight in food and wine. feels good to make plans, travel, see so many people without masks, a beautiful summer is on the horizon. 

and some fun finds from around the world wide web (lots of great lighting finds in this post):

i just adopted a puppy and named him jerry. he's been a life changer, forcing me off of social media, out onto my city streets to notice how fun running up steps can be, and sitting on the floor more, playing, sipping coffee slow and connecting with this little guy in ways i seriously couldn't have imagined. best choice ever.

so i'll be enjoying jerry this weekend, continuing my writing project with jerry on my lap, and finding a new set of stairs to explore.😊

demisch danant design

i stumbled up on this designer furniture label, demisch danant over the weekend. with an emphasis on 1950's-1970's french design, each piece is designed in a provocatively modern way. this line stands out, it's luxurious, it has a distinctive flare, and i love that...

just when you think you can't truly be moved in the world of furniture design, you are second guessed by lines like demisch danant. these were a few of my favorites, see alot more goodness here. & enjoy!

sharing sensational

what i love most about researching new designers/pieces/companies is finding the sensational, and then sharing it with you...

(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
links to each are above and they will also take you down the rabbit hole to a number of companies, large and small, chock full of more sensational pieces. you're welcome...enjoy!😍

monday & trnk

new york-based trnk is a really fabulous find whose mantra is "have a handsome home". trnk offers up an eclectic variety of classically modern options, sourced from a variety of designers all around the world.

so much of what trnk offers is chock full of long lines, clean design and pieces that lend themselves to any residential or commercial space...

tarik dixon and nick nemecheck are trnk. they believe that homes and the spaces within should be "collected not decorated" and that the ideal home is "considered yet approachable." i love that! these were a few of my immediate favorites but there is a ton to see over at trnk. see more here & enjoy!
