Modern Primitive

We're very excited to feature the following photos and would like to thank Cote De Texas, Gloria Oviatt and Joshua Lowenfels for these images! A big fan of Mr. Lowenfel's gallery (we've blogged with some of his collection before), we revisited to feature a few offerings that we've been watching for some time and searched for some good interior shots as a complement. That's when we found the Cote De Texas feature on Gloria Ovitt (please use the link for more photos of her house, her contact information and what shows she'll be selling at) and her wonderful house! Finally, a wonderful, clean contemporary that uses the lines and palette of Early American and Country pieces to their clean-lined, heavily patina'd best.

Holiday in the City: A Lion in Winter

We've featured the window at Lion Brand Yarns before. This gem on 15th Street between 5th and 6th always has stellar windows, and this holiday season is no different with a larger-than-life, beautifully realized lion...every detail exquisitely knit. Their windows rival "the big boys" and in NYC, that's saying something!

Roller Coaster on 15th Street

Lion Brand Yarn Studio on 15th Street has some of the most amazing window installations we've seen in Manhattan. Beautifully designed and meticulously crafted, these windows both awe and inspire.

Camilla Engman

We've been following Camilla Engman's work and blog for a few years now. There is something aspirational about the Swedish artist/illustrator's blog that keeps us hooked- the narrative of inspiration and application. Collaged, drawn, painted and photographed, there is a gestalt to Engman's life that informs us all in her daily entries.
