Marker and Prisma Rendering

Rendered Sections of the Amelie Hotel--Illustrator and Illustrator+Prisma

Room and Board Possibly (Hopefully) Coming to Boston

Yes! Finally!

Read about it here. 

They will possibly be displacing a long-lived but crazy mediocre restaurant, Island Hopper. Definitely a net win.

What to Do?

Uh oh. I seem to have some sort of Eames impulse control. I bought this chair on Ebay for well less than I believe it to be worth. I thought my other chair could use a sibling. Problem is, we don't actually have room for it. 90% sure I'll end up selling it. Anyone in Boston interested? $200 is probably a fair number. The back is beautiful brown fiberglass. I do not believe in the plastic Eames they sell at DWR. Not the way I roll.


Or, the space-planning gods may smile upon me and I may figure out a place to put it. Or, it shall live in the attic until my dream of selling our house and moving to Southie is realized....

Bookstore/Russian Teahouse Project

I'm a little proud of the fact that this rendering took me less than an hour.

Lobby Project Finishes

I'm sure when Lowes came out with their "Let's build something together" campaign, they weren't thinking about interior design students making 7 day emergency slap-dash materials boards, but nonetheless, here you have it. Rubber mulch mat, burlap, marble tile, and two shades of Min-Wax later, I am a bit of a believer. I also found a great use for the seed paper I have lying around the house that I'm never ever going to actually plant. I don't have time for actual gardening, just gardening-inspired concept boards.

"Nautical Lite"

Media room finishes and furnishings for Loft Project. No parrots or eye patches.

Labor / Love / Nature / Nurture

My first project for Studio I centers around the idea that when we love our work and our work is supportive of nature, it will be truly sustaining or nurturing. I drew aesthetic inspiration from images of potting sheds, and also my favorite archetypal workspace, Julia Child's kitchen.

Shopping in Brooklyn

Of course Boston will never compete with NYC for shopping. But it is also possible that Boston can't even compete with just Brooklyn, nay, Williamsburg alone. The neighborhood is extremely dense with retail awesome. Over the weekend I visited two great housewares stores which are next door neighbors: The Future Perfect and A&G Merch.



Both are well worth a visit. The Future Perfect focuses on beautiful objects, tableware, etc, while A&G has lovely sofas (currently on sale!), as well as a variety of smaller and relatively inexpensive housewares (glasses, dishtowels and the like).
