One of our favorite stores, Kiosk in New York, is featuring a pop-up store curated by Andy Beach of Reference Library, one of our favorite blogs. Beach used a custom oilboard stencil for this Vietnam-vintage A.B. Kiosk Laundry Bag; $25 at Kiosk.

We love the way Dagmar Daley covered her midcentury teak chair in vintage grain sack cloth in her San Francisco kitchen. She also uses grain sack pillows on her built-in minimalist dining bench. Here are some sources:
Below: Vintage hand-spun hemp linen Grain Sack Pillows from Laviva Home; $125 or $145 for a larger size.
Below: Mothology offers a handwoven Red-Striped Pillow Cover for $28.
Below: Maison Reve in Mill Valley stocks a wide assortment of Vintage Grain Sack Pillows, ranging in price from $90 to $140.
Below: Red Striped European Grain Sack Pillow; $90 at Above and Beyond Designs.

Our current favorite kitchen belongs to our friends Zak Conway and Dagmar Daley, who recently remodeled their 1896 Victorian house in the Mission District of San Francisco. Daley, an architect turned children’s clothing designer, devised a single, sleek walnut counter and, instead of building kitchen cabinets, created a bank of storage shelves hidden behind tall doors on the opposite wall. A single shelf above the counter displays Daley’s collection of Eva Zeisel pottery and white porcelain chemistry pieces collected from flea markets.
Here is Dagmar’s advice on recreating the look:
“The faucet is a Sign of the Crab by Strom Plumbing PO 828 Wall-Mounted Faucet, sourced from Omega Too in Berkeley (you can get a similar one from Chicago Faucets). The key is to opt for a nickel finish and to use a wall-mounted model, which prevents the water from building up on a wood countertop. I used a Bosch Integra Dishwasher, which can be completely concealed behind the panel to look more streamlined. The vent hood is built into the long shelf above the counter, and I used a smallish cooktop by Fisher & Pakel, which I love, especially in this world of appliances on steroids.
“I bought the antlers over the sink and the Eva Zeisel ceramics on eBay, although you can get Eva Zeisel ceramics at Crate & Barrel now. The side table in the dining area is an old Victrola; as you can see, I almost never buy anything new, although a friend recently gave me the Full Contact Spice Grinder from Mint in New York City.”
