Styrofoam Pink

by rosedeniz September 23, 2008 nesting

Tweet The first coat of paint went on the walls of our bedroom last night, and well, how can I say this delicately?… it looks like pink insulation. It should be called Styrofoam Pink in the catalog. This little diagram below should explain pretty clearly: It’s been plaguing me all day. Of course, it is […]

Anna Maria

by rosedeniz September 21, 2008 design

Tweet This Radiant Pillow ($84) is exactly what I need on a rainy Sunday evening like tonight. The beautiful bursts of pink and yellow feel both warm and cozy and energetic at the same time. Likewise, the Eccentric Warm Studio Half Stack of fabrics is absolutely delicious. I love the names Anna Maria has chosen […]

On my nightstand

by rosedeniz September 18, 2008 nesting

Tweet I’m not procrastinating, I’m willfully ignoring the fact I’m over-committed. So rather than dwell on it, I played around with my super state-of-the-art four year old digital camera and took overexposed and blurry photos of my nightstand and studio. Exciting! On my nightstand: Imagining the Turkish House: Collective Visions of Home, by Carel Bertram, […]

London Fashion Week from my couch

by rosedeniz September 18, 2008 design

Tweet While I sit at home wearing orange sweatpants I bought at a bazaar three years ago, a periwinkle-gray-blue shirt, and navy blue orthopedic slippers (my poor feet!), let me comment on London’s Fashion Week. Ahem. This will be good, I promise. I am mainly interested in color, so these designers popped out at me […]

Color chart

by rosedeniz September 18, 2008 nesting

Tweet I found the color charting in the New York Times of the Wall Street firms’ descent into loss oddly similar to Marshall’s Most Preferred Colors chart (I promise this is the last time I will post something on Marshall’s until I have the actual paint on the walls!). Does someone consult a color expert […]

Pink bedroom

by rosedeniz September 16, 2008 nesting

Tweet Sometimes I don’t want to write a new post for awhile after adding something really important to me, like my mother’s aprons. But I want to close the night by sharing the pink we’ve chosen for our bedroom (we decided not to do blue) from the Marshall Key catalog (above, in a kitchen setting […]

Aprons

by rosedeniz September 16, 2008 nesting

Tweet Two of my mother’s aprons found their way to me this year. This might not seem like a remarkable thing, but my mother died in 1985, and without consulting each other, first my grandmother, and then my aunt, sent me a apron my mother had made over 23 years ago. And both within four […]

Maria’s Serving Bowl

by rosedeniz September 15, 2008 design

Tweet This gorgeous, hand-painted and fired serving bowl is available from Nest ($40). Maria, the designer, used her microfinance loan to buy a kiln in Mexico that enables her to make beautiful, safe pottery to support her family. I love the glossy black and white floral in a solid earthy clay bowl. I can imagine […]

Clutter away

by rosedeniz September 14, 2008 nesting

Tweet The delicious photo above is from Joel C. Robinson and Leslie Ross’s home and workshop that I took from The Selby. This is my reminder that really, my home is really not that cluttered or disorganized, nor my studio room as full of piles as I imagine. I love it when other people’s homes […]
