- Admiring: a collection of 50 vintage Swedish rag rugs at Sharktooth.
- The most popular chair of 2023? This one sold out in a few hours.
- And more in chair news: “I like this rocking chair repro,” reports Margot. “It’s made by designer Mel Smilow’s daughter, who carries on her father’s legacy.”
- Julie likes these silk pjs that make a statement.
- Broom making, hat plaiting, bell founding, and more on the Endangered Crafts list.
- Weekend listening: using centuries-old techniques to rebuild Notre Dame.
- And an LA exhibit: Steinberg meets the Eameses.
- Julie spotted a copy of Remodelista in Maine in a shop in Visby, Sweden.
- In the garden with jewelry designer Janet Mavec.
- And reader comment of the week: On A Pale and Petite Family Cookspace in Barcelona, Rachel writes: “We are in the process of remodeling our whole house and it has been quite the project. How do you deal with waste? We were thinking of renting a dumpster, but that might be overkill.” We recommend salvaging everything you can and donating it to your local reuse shop (see the back of our book Remodelista: The Low-Impact Home for a full list of resources). Have more ideas of how to limit waste during a remodel? Let us know in the comments.
