pardon us...

while we take a break from the blog today.  we have: 1) a head cold, 2) house guests, 3) clients who need our attention, and 4) a looming deadline for a series of elevation sketches commissioned by our old firm, so we'll back tomorrow.  maybe.  ;-)

molly luetkemeyer's tastemaker tag sale at one king's lane

m21 is setting his alarm early on saturday so he can be awake and perky to score some bargains at the molly luetkemeyer tastemaker tag sale on one king's lane. molly is a seriously talented lady, with fabulous taste (and a longtime friend to the atelier), so there will be some seriously good sh*t on offer! here's a free taste:

pair of large glazed green/blue lamps with wood finials

deep emerald frame frenchy french chair, with persimmon mohair seat and seat front. seat back is brunschwig & fils "shishi" fabric in indigo cotton with dragon motif.

 that's all for today, but it's enough, no?

the wish list: gabriella crespi magic cube table

yum- why hasn't this been reissued? chic and practical, a difficult combo to come by. designed by the ever chic gabriella crespi.
