Formerly RIP, Now Revived (Somewhat) >> Domino
Fantastic news over at Black*Eiffel (and others)! Like Gourmet’s new online reincarnation, Domino Magazine is going to start putting up their archives online! On Brides.com.. I don’t quite understand why it is going on Brides.com, but I don’t really care.
Some of it has already been posted here.
I’m pretty sure I have every back copy anyway (#nerdalert), but a searchable archive is still fantastic news!

J'Adorable
Love this stoneware from May Luk Ceramics on etsy! Coco + Kelley featured it today and I instantly fell in love with the uneven, handmade-quality of the stoneware and the retro graphics. Doesn’t this look like something Anthropologie would pick up??

ChairLust
Ok just saw this chair in a house tour on Apartment Therapy and instantly became a little obsessed, thinking it was like 1960s Italian or Danish or something, and it turns out, as a commentor revealed, it is Restoration Hardware!! I tend to hate of RH, but they do have some really well-designed pieces. If you sort of ignore the overall overload on one trend (currently Belgian), individual pieces do stand out.
If anyone still is wondering what to get me for my birthday, I’ll take one of those chairs please.

Summer Lovin >> Al Fresco Dining
Don’t you love how during summer, it seems like weekends turn into progressions of outdoor meals? Mimosa brunches in the yard, lunches at sidewalk cafes, afternoon BBQs, dinner under the stars…
This past weekend, especially with the World Cup going on as well as the NBA finals, felt like a lazy series of BBQs at friends’ houses. So fun. But I’d imagine pretty much any outdoor meal in one of these settings would be pretty wonderful.

High Contrast
Another space by Roman and Williams, who I featured a while back for the design of the Ace Hotel. I’m digging the high contrast created by the black molding and mullions and the modern but comfy looking furnitre.
The whole space feels so sexy, no? I wouldn’t mind having a glass of wine on that couch come five o’clock, with some Nina Simone in the background.
I seem to be feeling anything bold, contrasty, and typographic today, including the wine labels and the space above, so why not throw in a video of a Nina Simone song made only with typography and typographic elements? Seems fitting…
Pretty cool.

Back to It’s Compicated for a minute…
I didn’t include the bakery from It’s Complicated in the post about Meryl Streep’s character’s house, and it’s seriously wonderful, so I thought I’d go back to it for a minute…
Based on Dean & Deluca, it has that wonderful fail-proof aesthetic… Chalkboards, marble counters, shaker cabinets, warm neutral palette, hand-written signs on everything, baskets of breads and pastries and produce… to die for.
The bakery at night…
Loved that they made chocolate croissants on their date… so cute.

Styling Brilliance >> The Appeal of the Unmade Bed
Generally, bedrooms are photographed with a crisply made bed, complete with layers of matching pillows, sheets, blankets, etc. But sometimes, it’s the unmade beds that look the most appealing, especially when the whole bed is crisp white.
There’s a wonderful suggestion of lazy, indulgent mornings…
…especially effective with morning light streaming through the windows.

I Love a Monogram on Almost Anything >> Why Not Lamps?
No seriously. Ok yes, a monogram on a lamp could be way too Martha Stewart if it were on a pastel cloth shade with a painted wood base, but on this sophisticated brass number, the monogram comes off as irreverent and cool in my opinion…
Designed by the aforementioned Partners & Spade in collaboration with lighting company Roll & Hill.
