I went to Porter Exchange in Cambridge with my friend Jeff this afternoon for lunch — some of the best, least expensive sushi around the city is served there. On the way out, Jeff noticed a sale sign in the window of Kitty Haas’s jewelry shop. Knowing that Kitty isn’t known to need to put [...]

ICFF 2010 has come and gone and it was quite a show. Gradon and I went down on Saturday and managed to do the show and five parties in under ten hours. We saw the good and not so good. I think it’s important to highlight the contrasts between this year’s show and the last. [...]

Just like last year, ICFF fell on the same weekend as the SoWa Art Walk. Lucky for me, VenuView’s Crystal J. Silva went and offered her thoughts on the happenings in the South End. Thanks Crystal! It couldn’t have been a better day for the opening of the 2010 season of SoWa Open Market and [...]

You can do ICFF in a day, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Christopher and I took an early bus down to New York on Saturday for the first day of ICFF 2010, and came back that night, getting back to Boston around 3:00AM. In between those two four-hour bus rides, there was much design to [...]

Aside from not having time and money to find solutions to our lighting problem, the hanging lamp from ikea we purchased didn’t seem to work out either!

This weekend we played Tetris with our furniture (with a little help from our friends!) We moved Kevin’s office, that was up in the loft, and what now will be the nursery, downstairs to our work area. Moved the stainless steel table, that was in the work area, to our dinning room area, and moved [...]

This week we are supposed to be focusing on our “landing strip”. You know the place where all your junk (coat, bag, sunglasses, mail ect.) ends up at the end of the day. Last year I focused on this area pretty heavily, so much so in fact we ended up with 2 landing strips! (see [...]

I’ve mentioned Jill Rosenwald in various posts before, but I have yet to give her the proper attention her work deserves. A native New Yorker that slowly moved her way northeast, Jill Rosenwald designs and makes a wide array of glazed lamps and pottery out of her Fort Point District studio. All of her designs [...]
