Erie Basin

I was in Red Hook this weekend (one of my favorite hideaways in Brooklyn) and I passed a little store that I have walked past before, but never been in. It's beautifully mysterious looking with it's black furniture and floors and otherwise white interior. There is old furniture on display in the window of the rickety old building - and if you look past that furniture you can see that the little things inside are too beautiful and careful to be cheap.

It's one of the mysteries of Brooklyn, and New York in general. How do these jems survive in their run down neighborhoods? Red Hook is being revitalized now, but it's no Soho. It's far far away from any subways, and even then it's far from the city and even downtown Brooklyn, but still this little slightly gothic victorian contemporary looking antique store survives?

How ever it works I'm sure glad it does - because there is no other place I would rather be surprised by an amazing shop like this than in a lovely desolate place like Red Hook.

Plus they have a web site so others can get a glimpse of the coolness - http://www.eriebasin.com/shop.html

Love of Danes

I was stopped in my tracks on Bond Street today by the furniture in a store called modern link. They carry vintage Danish furniture.

Of course the chairs that I completely fell for are particularly rare . . .

and expensive.

$35,000

They were in a light grey wool with a dark charcoal seat cushion. I think that's the colors of this one above, but there's not as much contrast in this photo.


I don't like the blue fabric much, but these photos show off the shape - I have heart burn thinking about them, they're lovely.

I found a sette on line

Then found this desk online too that is so so pretty. Wish I could see this one in person.

New York Look

Picked up this magazine at a subway station and now I'm enthraulled by it. I am a new convert to New York Magazine so when I saw a fasiony version I had a good feeling.




Turns out I was right. This thing is so pretty. The whole magazine. It's nice to find something so different. I mean I heart Vouge and always will, but you never realize how formulaic it is until you pick something up that gives you a new way of looking.


From the graphic design, to the layout, storys, to photographs it's lovely.

George Jensen

I love this watch. No idea how much it is - have a feeling it's overly absorbident. Love it.

Salt Lake City . . . hmmm

Since I left for school I haven't been feeling like I would like moving back to Salt Lake - any time soon anyway.

I must admit, since being here I have been thinking a lot more about working here, and I would love it if I found a job that I really liked of course.

Until I am ready for that here are the other places that I'm thinking I want to look into

Europe:
Stockholm, Sweden
Denmark
Helsinki, Finland
England

East Coast
Carolina (not absolutely sure why, but I have a feeling)
New York City
Boston

Non Costal
Colorado
Montana
Sante Fe
Northern Idaho

West Coast
Portland
San Francisco
South of San Francisco
Seattle

I talk like I would be able to get a job in any of these places.
I do know that if I could have my way I would have a home base in one of these places, and then I could travel and work and play and work and travel. There are a lot of people who can't travel a lot for work - so there should be opportunities for people who want to right?

Mostly I'm thinking i would like to keep working in residential. I like working with people and their life styles, their ideas, their families.

More B Cards

I'm in a portfolio class and it's been so nice to organize all of the things I have been working on for the past year and half, but I feel like it's never done or I always want to change it.

This is the Business Card and Letter Head I turned in for class. I like them, but I like my other cards too, maybe even more.
