spring projects & things you can do with quilts

It's going to be a short one; we are so busy with projects. Here are some things I've worked on and seen this week.

We're shooting a bunch of content outside this spring, and so we have begun creating a little side garden with some Adirondack chairs next to the sauna. It's going to look so much better next year when it's grown in.

The more I fool around with landscaping, the more I realize it's just an exercise in density and delayed gratification.

I found this Southern Magnolia at a local nursery and thought this was the perfect thing to frame both the sauna & chairs. I pruned it quite a bit - it looked like a shrub when I bought it - I wanted to give it that nice Japanese Niwaki look and emerge out from the lower level greenery.

Tomorrow's video is about large wall art and all the options available to you.

Quilts are really having a moment, and the water is warm. This vintage 1930's beauty below would be so strong in the right context and would make any room photography sing.

Also, this one below is new from Aloka Studio, another stunner. And much easier to ship than a painting.

Speaking of quilts....

..here's some furniture & a lamp by Laerke Ryom shown at Innenkreis Gallery in Copenhagen, made of quilted fabric. Feels fresh (and probably soft).

I'm crazy about this shallow-contrast alcove shelf at Noir Coffee Shop Trocadero in Paris.

The orchre, the flagstone floor, the rich wood. Also, that ceiling fan.
