Astier de Villatte + Patch NYC

What happens when two shops – one in France, the other in Boston – both with cult followings team up for a collaboration? No, the universe does not implode but I get very excited. Astier de Villatte (known for homespun plates and candles) and PATCH NYC (specializing in home decor and accessories) have partnered for a series of plates and notebooks featuring whimsical drawings. Such a natural project for these two, you can check out the entire collection right here.

Baba Souk

It seems like all of my latest shop obsessions are focused on the bigger picture. Instead of selling only one artist’s work or a single company’s goods, they’re purveyors of not only their own work but the work of those they admire. An independent artist community vibe – quite the dichotomy! The latest is Baba Souk, full of color and creativity. (And pssst… there’s a fun Baba Souk giveaway happening over here!)

Top 10 Picks From Our Joss & Main Event

I’m popping in with a rare weekend post because we’re moving into the homestretch of our Urban Decor themed sale on Joss & Main! With over 100 handpicked items (from moi) to choose from, it just wouldn’t be fair not to share my favorites…

A few of my original favorites are already sold out – you people have amazing taste! – but it was easy to find replacements because I honestly want it all. Everything in my sale skews toward mid-century modern, but that doesn’t mean a piece or two wouldn’t fit into your space. No matter the style. When everything in a room feels too matchy it can get boring, the only real requirement for making something work is loving it!

01/ Branson Hamper
02/ Ikat Throw
03/ Atom Floor Mirror
04/ Duncan Sofa
05/ Lori Bookcase
06/ Gopala Pillow
07/ Meyer Tea Kettle
08/ Idle Arm Chair
09/ Setay Table Lamp
10/ Messina Coffee Table

Be sure and pop over to the sale before Monday morning when it closes, and also take a peek at Joss & Main’s blog Plume where there’s a little post about Design Crush and my fast and loose design rules.

Our Joss & Main Curated Sale Event is Live!

You might’ve noticed that our second post for the day is a bit late, but we have a good reason. Design Crush’s Urban Decor Curators Collection with Joss & Main is kicking off as of right now! Huzzah!

A lot of my inspiration came from the loft Apartment 34‘s Erin Hiemstra first moved into when she and her husband relocated from Seattle. Erin has an amazing eye and the clean lines, neutral palette, and mix of textures sucked me right in.

The beautiful shots of Erin’s loft were taking by photographer extraordinaire Bonnie Tsang. Thanks so much to both of these lovely ladies for allowing us access to the incredible photography and inspiring space!

Our sale will be live for three days only, so hop on it fast! You have until Sunday, March 31st at 11am EST. If you’re not already a Joss & Main member and want to skip the wait you can do just that by clicking right here. Happy shopping!

Word Range

I’m loving the simplicity of Keith Brymer Jones’ Word Range series of contemporary tableware. Modern, clean designs with a typewriter-style stamped word. It’s safe to say that this collection lives happily at the conjunction of form and function.

CeramicaBotanica

Susan Rodriguez’s CeramicaBotanica collection is everything you could want from someone with 20 years experience working with clay. Each piece is handmade by Susan in her San Antonio backyard studio using earthenware clay and colorful slips. Most are one of a kind, food safe, and made to be used in your kitchen on a daily basis. I love the bold patterns and use of color!

Drip Tease

Drip Tease from Reiko Kaneko is a classic tea set with a contemorary twist – normally unwanted marks and stains become desirable decorative details. My style usually skews modern, but this tea set is beyond. I think I’d have to start hosting monthly tea parties! (via Design Milk)
