Five Matteo,

Multifunctional...

This great wrought iron coffee table is coming soon

to Finderskeepers Market. I love the way it is shown here —

storing wood for the pool house fireplace.

Happy Holidays — Lonny-style!

The holiday mini-issue is up!

Prop & Circumstance...

Here's a little divine prop intervention via Gutsto.

The gnarled rags and balanced scissors create such

a pretty still life.

Texture is vital when styling. Knitted yarns, leather,

concrete, and wood make such a pleasing mix.
Sometimes the simplified placement of things creates
the most strikingly graphic displays.

The Swiss Army Blanket...

Once stored in the caves of the Swiss Alps, these vintage

Swiss Army Blankets are now available through Deken.
Made of pure sheep's wool, the blankets come in various
shades of grey-brown and are marked with a
red and white cross-track.
The blankets are individually marked with the initials of
the maker — as well as the the year of production.
These blankets are proof that there is beauty in utility.

Stunning...

Tilda Swinton — inspirational beauty personified.
