Valentine’s 2k10: Finally Here
And Augusta was excited about it!!
We woke up this morning and ate Jelly Beans, applied her heart tattoo, picked out her outfit, and had a dance party …all before breakfast.
As if that weren’t enough to make my Valentine’s Day, it was made even more wonderful by a surprise apartment-cleaning and cupcakes from Kyle…

LustList: A Fireplace in the Kitchen
With most of the country snowed in, wintry rooms have been on my mind, and it’s brought to mind one of the things on my life LustList: having a fireplace in the kitchen.
It seems like a no-brainer, why wouldn’t you want a fireplace in your kitchen, but apparently it’s pretty rare. In all the images of kitchens I have saved on my computer (572 of them), there are only THREE with fireplaces (I save them when I find them)!
My sister actually has a fireplace in her kitchen, and I think it’s so wonderful on a cold night, when it gets dark early, to be in there cooking and hanging out with the wood crackling in the background.
Love the rustic-meets-old-money feeling of this kitchen… it’s actual form is pretty basic and definitely wasn’t laid out by a “kitchen designer”– it’s a big rectangle with no island, it’s not tricked out with built-in cabinets or a fancy sink, but it’s packed with copper pots, subtly dressed up with a big oil painting in a gold frame, and finished off with a La Cornue range.
Doesn’t it feel like it’s in a house in the English countryside where you actually might cook something you’d literally hunted and gathered on the property that day? While wearing your Barbour coat and wellies? (Although I do have one major gripe with it. Click the jump if you want to hear it, or don’t if you’d rather just appreciate it for what it is.)
Kitchen at top from Domino Magazine (also love the painted wood floor in that one), unfortunately don’t have the origin of these other two… I’ve had them in a folder forever!
Ok wwhhyyy did they paint the ceiling in between the beams bright white??? Why? And why the pin lights in the ceiling?
Lola
Photographer Joshua Scott was hired to do the product shots for Marc Jacob’s new Lola perfume. Instead, he was inspired to, as he said, “attempt to photograph the product without actually photographing the product but rather the ideas and emotions that combine to create the product.”
According to Scott, since all perfume shots are just shots of liquid in a bottle, he wanted to do something different. Pretty clever way to capture the intangible effect of a scent!

Listening To: Discovery
A new spin on a classic crush song…
Discovery’s “I Want You Back”
And fyi, the entire album is sooo good. It’s the project of Vampire Weekend’s keyboarder and producer Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot singer Wes Miles, also featuring Dirty Projector’s Angel Deradoorian. Stellar cast, right?
