Happy Friday! I am ready to get the party started today: I’m headed into the city to hear Thomas O’Brien speak at the Merchandise Mart as part of the International Antiques Fair. The topic? his design philosophy + his gorgeous new book. I’m all ears. The weather is cooperating, too (possibly 80?), so let’s get [...]
Loving the work of Savannah artist W. Gerome Temple. (Came across one of his illustrations hanging at No. Four Eleven.) His work is so whimsically linear, which I love. Peruse Mr. Temple’s website to see his full range. I’m particularly fond of his special projects portfolio: there you’ll find work for The Book Lady (photo 7) and [...]

On with the Five:

Simple, elegant chairs abound at Howe London. The salon chair pictured above would be perfect as a bedroom accent/slipper chair. (I’ve been looking for one.) Then again, I can’t get the orangerie chair out of my mind. It’s stunning! Give Howe’s site a look (full of pretty things for the home), and if you’re in London, [...]
