Knoll has just introduced a seasonal online magazine, Shu, named after their founder, Florence "Shu" Knoll. (I just learned that she was nicknamed Shu by her childhood friend, Eero Saarinen!). Florence Knoll is, as she is to so many, a longtime design hero and I was thrilled that they popped by for a visit to see how we live and work amongst our favorite Knoll pieces.

Read MoreI was thrilled to contribute to today’s New York Times for Kids section! This issue is mostly dedicated to coronavirus’s impact on kids and advice for dealing with life in isolation. For example, if your craft supplies are running low, the newspaper itself will provide all the materials you need for a fun meditative origami project, paper cranes!
Read MoreFirst, I should say that I’ve stretched the definition of the word “craft” in the title of this post. The items here, vases, planters, and organizing containers, are simply plucked from the recycle bin, so, no real crafting!! (Unless you count label-removal…and by the way, Goo Gone and very hot water work well for this!)
Read MoreMy friend, Danny Seo (who many of you know from his fabulous show on NBC and gorgeous magazine, Naturally) came by a few months ago to shoot some photos of our recent kitchen and dining room renovations for a story in this month’s issue of Naturally.
