The 23 Best Wicker and Basket Bags for Summer
07 . 22 . 20It’s been so hot everywhere lately that the perfect bag to carry is something light in wicker or straw. I especially like the ones mixed with canvas and those that carry wine. I think we could all use a drink these days. Am I right? The two sizes of canvas straps allow you to carry […]

Atelier Vime in Paris
01 . 27 . 20I love seeing the Atelier Vime wicker furniture at their 18th-century hôtel particulier but it was nice to see their pieces in an apartment in Saint-Germain during Paris Design Week.

Sparrows Weave
07 . 25 . 19One of my friends asked about a wicker bag I posted earlier this summer.

I also […]

08 . 16 . 18You have to bear with me because I’m still only a third of the way through Bunny Mellon: The Life of an American Style Legend book so she’s constantly on my mind lately.

Grey Gardens Up for Grabs
02 . 08 . 17If you have $20 Million lying around, Grey Gardens, the home made famous by the documentary of the same name could be yours.

Natural Selection
07 . 07 . 14Every year I write a post on straw, wicker, and rattan and this year is no different. There is nothing better than natural fibers in the heat of summer.

Take the Bull by the Horns
07 . 09 . 13When I posted the photo above of a room designed by Lorenzo Castillo, I wondered where one would find wicker bull heads. I assumed it was France or Spain and that was probably the case until recently. Jayson Home now offers both a small and large version below. Not exactly sure where I would put it […]

As you can see from these examples, it looks pretty great everywhere. […]
