ON SATURDAY we walked to one of our favourite pubs along the Thames. It’s right on the water, with a row of tables on a dock set below the large outdoor terrace that backs onto the pub and we were very lucky to get the very last available one. The weather was unseasonably warm, the leaves were just starting to turn, the air was crisp on the water and when P asked me if there were anywhere else in the world I’d rather be right at that moment, I was amazed to realise that there wasn’t.
On Wednesday, for the first time in over seven months, sneakerheads put aside their love-hate relationship with Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, and resumed a love-hate relationship with his Yeezy sneaker brand—which is to say, loving to buy them and hating to miss out.
RECENTLY we featured a few Beautiful Powder Rooms for Springtime, which included stripes and tiles, and of course, dramatic marble. For this week's Tuesday Two, we're highlighting two especially chic bathrooms with a focus on marble.
“Blurred Lines” wasn’t supposed to be a meaningful song. It was, by design, a trifle: Pharrell, in imperial-superstar mode, goofing off with the white soul singer and textbook sex idiot Robin Thicke and tossing in a tongue-twisting T.I. verse later for good measure.
FOR SOME strange reason, springtime always makes me feel like completely renovating the powder rooms. What seems to be fine in the winter, suddenly feels oppressive and in dire need of a makeover when the days get longer and the sun fills everything with its warm golden light. Can't wait until it's warm enough to throw open all the windows again and let the fresh air in, fluttering the gauzy curtains in the bathrooms here at the cottage.
This instalment of Things We Lovely Lately includes, as always, a collection of beautiful finds from our travels around the internets, including this stunningly serene upstairs bedroom, above, in the home of Rose Uniacke; the most artfully created paper flowers by two British paper flower artists; this season's favourite ad campaigns featuring Emily Ratajkowski for Miu and Miu and Ryan Gosling for Gucci and more⏤here's what has been inspiring us lately ...
LATELY WE'VE been seeing a lot of dramatic marble or other stone elements as striking accent pieces in home décor. It could be an island or an entire countertop, a freestanding bath or bookcase, but whatever is chosen, it is meant to be the centrepiece ...
THIS WEEKEND WE screened the 1983 film Risky Business on the projector. P has seen it many times before, but it was my first time, much to his horror⏤a classic in his opinion. On Monday we awoke to the chaotic madness of the Oscars slap and is it just us, or is the world getting weirder?
AT THE SAME time that I was contemplating wearing sequins over the holidays even if everything ends up small and socially distanced and low-key, a package arrived at the door containing an extra-fancy pair of sweatpants. Now that I (and everyone in the world, it seems) have been spending our lockdown days in sweatshirts and hoodies, it seems foreign to being wearing silk skirts and strappy heels, or button-up blouses and midi dresses.
My the spring of 2020, the high stakes involved in rigorous, timely and honest statistics had suddenly become all too clear. A new coronavirus was sweeping the world. Politicians had to make their most consequential decisions in decades, and fast.
DO YOU REMEMBER when we used to search flickr for photos (they've been sold to Verizon and are horrible now) and tumblr for photos? And then after that it was Pinterest?
Steve Lacy has shared a new track, “N Side.” It’s the first new music we’ve heard from the Internet member since his 2017 solo debut Steve Lacy’s Demo, though he’s kept plenty busy in the meantime.
NASHVILLE - Because it's officially spring, this week's At Home With is the Nashville home of interior designer Minnette Jackson and her husband, who moved to Tennessee from New York City seven years ago.
After happening upon the stunning powder room featured in this week's Weekend Links @graciestudio on Instagram earlier this week, had decided to find out more about this beautiful renovation and discovered that it belonged to Adam and Amber Ford, a husband and wife team living in Knoxville, Tennessee. The pair have been living in and designing their first home, a 1940's Tudor, since May 2016 and document everything on their blog, The Happy Tudor. Scroll through for a glimpse of this fresh and elegant guest bath that features stunning handpainted Gracie wallpaper, glossy subway tile, boiserie, unlacquered brass fixtures and golden accents throughout...
EVERY YEAR around this time, when the holidays are over (the memories of fairy lights and sequins fading) we're back at work and it's a brand new year, we become hopelessly drawn to winter white.
