Amy Sedaris is MAKING CRAFT VIDEOS

I can rest easy now. I can die now. I can be so over-the-moon thrilled because our little Amy Sedaris is MAKING CRAFT VIDEOOOOOOS!



I say our as if she were my child, but I have loved this genius since having "Strangers With Candy" nights at my apartment circa 1999. Yeah, I'm that old.

The Kids Are Alright

Best film of the year.


In my humble opinion.

Patrick Hruby

Have a cozy, snowy winter weekend!



I leave you with the work of artist Patrick Hruby that I am really into.





Hruby has even delved into dishware, which I also dig.

Vintage Swiss Air


Oh how I swoon over these vintage Swiss Air posters. So clean, crisp and lovely. Just like Switzerland.



One would look so nice framed and hung in my home, so I can look at it and dream of future trips to Zurich.

Trapeze


I love the trapeze swing in the living room. In case you missed this post by Cup of Joe.

Bowling for Coach


In case you were wondering my dad is a Coach. A high school football Coach. Much like a doctor it is a title he holds dear to his heart and like a soldier wears proudly like a badge of honor you get in NAM. I, on the other hand, am a theater geek/nerd-o-rama/big klutz. So at the tender age of right now, when I finally got a higher score bowling than my dad/Coach, it was a full-circle kind of moment for me. I might just be a little proud.

*Note the misspelling of Wednesday.

Apartment Therapy + Jonathan Adler


One of the many benefits and joys of living in New York is the close proximity to some of your favorite artists, musicians, and designers. My dear friend, Shivonna, and I decided to take advantage of this opportunity and attend the Apartment Therapy holiday design meet-up at Knoll Studio with special guest Jonathan Adler.



Knoll is the mecca for those of us in love with the mid-century designs of Charles and Ray Eames, Henry Miller, and are obsessed with Barcelona chairs, the Bertoia chaise, the Platner Lounge collection, and (below) the Wassily chair (sigh).



And then there were all of the fabric swatches you can get those dreamy pieces in.


Jonathan Adler did a slide show of some of his favorite rooms that he's done. I had to snap a few of these to share with you, as they are really next-level. The first is a collection of Adler accessories that have such fun colors, bright, bold design, and a great sense of humor. He pairs this whimsical aesthetic with a practical, edited functional space to create a fleshed-out, killer room.



This is my fav. The perfect teenager room for Max with the 70's built-in's and sweet M-A-X chrome tables. I dig the black and orange.



A little hard to see, but that is a lucite bed set and silhouette couch.



Nothing says mid-century Southern California chic that floating furniture on a circular rug.
