Welcome to Psst, where each month the Remodelista and Gardenista editors share an inside look at what we’ve been reading, watching, coveting, pinning, visiting, and otherwise loving lately. Without further ado, a glimpse of what we’ve been up to in February:
Photographs by editors, except where noted.
Above: “I still have yet to watch, but if the popularity of FX’s Love Story is any indication, mid-to-late 1990s minimalism is swiftly coming around again. That might explain why I’m suddenly attracted to all things Philippe Starck, like this charmingly simple pair of canvas sunbeds from antiques dealer Casey Smith.” – Nick Spain; photograph via Casey Smith Above: “These slipcast terracotta saltboxes with wind-fallen oak tops—which ‘celebrate the scars and stories of the trees from which they came,’ according to maker Sophie Wilson of 1690 Ceramics—would fit right in in the olde English kitchen of Hamnet. Have a look at Sophie’s homage to Agnes’s kitchen here.” – Deborah Eydmann; photograph via 1690 Ceramics Above: “These are my latest obsessions: Basalt birdbaths. Photographing nature. And these white flowers from a pieris shrub that’s currently blooming in my garden.” – Kier
Above: “The best text I received this month? A snapshot of a friend of a friend’s hand-drawn sketch of our Remodelista in Maine book cover after she read it. Love the idea of keeping a book journal like she does.” – Annie Above: “The first outdoor picnic in forever at Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey. It’s just an hour from Brooklyn and offers boardwalk hikes and peaceful birding. I took an entire sourdough loaf because it hadn’t cooled yet, hot from the oven.” – Marie Above: “A compelling reason to send more letters. These stamps celebrate the incredible work of folk artist and quilter Harriet Powers, who was born into slavery.” – Fan; photograph via USPS Above: “I recently made a pilgrimage to see the trio of almost-secret establishments that now satellite Via Carota, chefs Jody Williams’ and Rita Sodi’s beloved osteria in New York’s West Village. Across the street is Officina 1397, a tiny provisions, antiques, and ‘rare finds’ store. On the corner is Bar Pisellino, which gets my vote for the prettiest downtown bar and sandwich shop. And next door is Officina del Bere, an old liquor store that Jody and Rita took over, restocked, and fully beautified. On days that museums are closed or too crowded, I suggest visiting these three instead.” – Margot
