Finally had the chance to flip through my Martha Stewart Living from April and the feature on Susan Lyne’s NYC apartment immediately jumped out at me. The transformation from bland, cookie-cutter box to something resembling a New England country estate was quite impressive. My favorite part (and an easy takeaway) was the above photo cluster – the arrangement looks effortless but probably would take some rearranging on the floor before making any holes in the wall…

Her curved staircase and banister were a close second.

Ready for spring and loving this potting station. Who says you can’t use indoor furniture outside?

Spending some time this weekend pulling from my Deco File on Domino… I miss it already. Make sure you lock away your favorites soon, because who knows how long the site will stay up now that the last issue’s on news stands.

Poster print giveaway winner coming up next!

…flatware. By Reed & Barton, as seen in the very last issue of Domino (sniff sniff). Sterling silver. The loveliest part of this dignified design is the delicate beading around the edge, which this photo does not do justice to. However, each 5-piece place setting clocks in at a whopping $518, so I think these will stick to gracing the tables of my dreams. See more here.
