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).
