Current Obsessions: Renovations and Reinventions



Here’s a look at our latest inspirations, haunts and gatherings from this week.
 

Above: If you’re in or around Philadelphia today, join us at Terrain at Styer?s in celebration of our new book, Gardenista: The Definitive Guide to Stylish Outdoor Spaces. We?ll be hosting a cocktail party and will lead DIY holiday workshops today from 6 pm to 9 pm.

And while you?re in the Philly area: stop by the exhibit Design Currents: Oki Sato, Faye Toogood, Zanini de Zanine now open at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
This design studio’s brick and mortar is “anchored in a reverence for quiet, pristine simplicity.”

 

Above: Renovations abound in the latest issue of Gray Magazine, including this 1960s colonial home in Portland in which homeowner Britney Renner combined custom woodworking, metal finishes and moody, dark paints. In the kitchen, Renner chose brass shelving to complement the cabinets painted in Farrow & Ball Lamp Room Grey and Black Blue.  Photo by George Barberis courtesy of Gray Magazine.
We’re thrilled to have our new book selected to Amazon’s annual editors best list??and in such great company.
