Lyonel Feininger at the Harvard Art Museum

Untitled (Night View of Trees and Streetlamp, Burgkühnauer Allee, Dessau), 1928, Lyonel Feininger

I will be checking out this show of his photos, for sure! Runs until June 2nd at the Sackler Museum.

Want it.

I'd also give you the link but it is an antique and there are only 2 available. Only after I have secured mine will I share my source....

New Yorker piece on Roger Thomas and Casino Design

Abstract and snippet here.

I admire Mr. Thomas's process and sketching habits, and enjoyed reading about the evolution of casino design. But I am still a snobby New Englander with no plans to ever set foot in Las Vegas.

Spotted a table by this guy in Elle Decor. Made from scrap wood. Beautiful. Love the patchwork quality.

He also has a plywood line, which is super cool.

Perspective of Hotel Bar (in Photoshop)

This perspective was exported from SketchUp and then enhanced/augmented in Photoshop, and then Prismacolor pencils. Side note: Do you realize how difficult it is to find a picture online of a bartender who is not either a) old-timey with handlebar mustache and bowtie or b) dressed like she's selling more than drinks? When I found this woman, she was like an angel sent from heaven, lemme tell ya.

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....

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