Hedgehouse

2012-01-15T23:39:00.000-05:00

I came across Hedgehouse the other day and was surprised at how nice and affordable their furniture was. I really like their walnut table and stools. The pieces are made by an Amish woodworker. It's pretty cool to know that a guy with a giant beard and an awesome haircut made this furniture. They also had this nice set of vintage Brunswick chairs for sale that I thought would be perfect with that table. Check out the Hedgehouse Etsy shop here

Truck Furniture and Bird Coffee: Osaka, Japan

2012-01-15T22:59:00.000-05:00

I've been a HUGE fan of Truck Furniture ever since I stumbled upon their shop while visiting Japan a couple of years ago. Tokuhiko Kise and his wife Hiromi Karatsu own a great space that functions as their home, design studio, workshop, and coffee shop. I love how simple their space is while still being super warm and inviting. I can't wait to make my way back to Truck Furniture and Bird Coffee next time I'm in town.

Henry Jason

2012-01-04T01:13:00.000-05:00

I would like everyone to meet Henry Jason. This little dude has turned my life upside down (in a good way) My wife gave birth to him at 8:41am on October 22nd 2011. Here are some photos of the little man kicking it in his new room.
So far being a parent has been crazy. Crazy good, crazy terrifying, and crazy tiring. He is healthy, handsome as hell, and has square Flinstone like feet.

The little man mans room.

We unfortunately couldn't find a good vintage rocker in time but got this Ikea one to get the job done.

This beautiful quilt was a gift from my super talented cousin Claire. She has an Etsy shop that has some incredible items for y'all to purchase.

I finally had a reason to pick up a Steele Canvas laundry basket. I ordered it directly from the website and they were super friendly and it got to me within a couple of days. This kid fires through clothes, it's insane.

The affordable gift

2011-12-11T22:53:00.001-05:00

I love this great looking speaker made by PeoplePeople. You can hook this beauty up to your ipod, computer, or turntable. It is a piece that you assemble yourself Ikea style, which makes me a little nervous because putting Ikea furniture together is some frustrating shit. I'd rather get kicked in the face then try to put together anything from Ikea. The speaker isn't available yet but if you are interested in purchasing drop them a line at speaker@peoplepeople.se

I know a lot of people feel like the whole Pendleton collabo thing is a little played out, but for some reason I'm still not really tired of it.

Here are some designs that are from their archives brought back and sold exclusively at Mr. Mudd and Mr. Gold in Stockholm, Sweden

I'm really into these rope lights from Atelier 688. Would be perfect to have multiple lights hanging and knot them up and play with the height. I would have to get a huge check from someone to be able to pick up a few of these though. Ranging in price from $350-$450

2011-08-27T12:23:00.007-04:00

This past week my wife and I spent some time out in Amagansett and on the way out we stopped at Wyeth furniture store in Wainscott. I have never been inside their shop in Manhattan for whatever reason but the Wainscott location had some really nice pieces. The prices were high as hell but with locations in Wainscott and Soho I wasn't expecting any deals. When I got home I went to their website and put together a little folder of some of my favorite pieces.

Loving the look of a good speaker or two, that last set is so fresh. I need to find a good vintage pair.

Kitchen Inspiration

2011-07-25T00:58:00.003-04:00

The kitchen in the new beach house is SUPER dated and needs a little/a lot of work. I definitely don't have the paper to gut the kitchen and start over so I'm going to have to get crafty and figure some simple, low budget fixes.

I love how casual and simple all of these kitchens are. I really love the drawers down below and no upper cabinetry. We have 2 pantries so removing the top cabinets might actually be able to happen (If I can convince the wife)

All Just Organic

2011-07-22T14:58:00.003-04:00

I'm kind of into these all organic hand woven Turkish bath towels. Would love these for the bathroom but they would also be kind of perfect for the beach. The price on them are pretty reasonable too ranging from $24-$32.50

Anyone out there? // I'm Back!

2011-07-21T12:25:00.008-04:00

Hey guys, it's been a while. My last post was May 11th! Damn!

I had an incredible trip to Paris, thanks to everyone who sent me so many great suggestions of things to check out while I was there. Thanks to Sara and Karen for setting me up with an incredible place to stay. I can not wait to go back and spend more time in that city. It was my first time there and it was everything I thought it would be and more. It was the most beautiful city I have ever visited.

Right as my wife and I got back from Paris we got a really great deal on an old home on the east end of Long Island. The house is beautiful but it needs a crap load of work. It's a 108 year old house with a great screened in porch and it is just a few hundred feet from the beach. We got really lucky with this place. I have been spending a ridiculous amount of my time making the home livable while still trying to enjoy the water and great weather. We have moved almost all of our belongings out from Brooklyn with an exception of a few things. I love the city to death and I'm not ready to leave it full time just yet, but it's been really nice to step away from it, get some space, some sun, and a breath of fresh air. The city is so inspiring but it's so easy to get caught up in all the bullshit, with partying, late nights, different events, and the constant hustle etc.

It has been nice giving myself a sort of technology break but it's good to be back. I'm really looking forward to checking out all of your sites and blogs over the next few days, it's been a minute. So if there is anyone left checking my blog please check back a few times a week again because I"M BACK!!

Paris

2011-05-11T11:06:00.004-04:00

In a few hours I will leaving to go to Paris for the first time. If anyone has any recommendations for me while I'm there PLEASE leave a comment. Thanks guys!

Lately I have been getting really tired of looking online and collecting other peoples images and putting them together in various posts, or posting shit I want to buy but can't afford. So I finally got up off my ass and shot my good friend Paul's ill downtown, Manhattan apartment. I'm not a photographer, and I'm not trying to be the next Selby, I just want to share some of my friends places with you guys.

Paul is one of my favorite dudes. Always good to get together with him and chop it up. Enjoy...

1. what is your favorite piece of furniture, or home accessory that you own? Kaws Dissected Companion. I have been a fan of Kaws for a while, and was very lucky to have the opportunity to purchase this while I was on vacation in Vancouver. Just getting the package through the US border was an ordeal. I thought they were gonna rip apart the box looking for weed, but they waived me right through customs. I guess looking like an asian tourist has its advantages sometimes.

2. top 3 favorite clothing labels? RRL, A.P.C., and Our Legacy

3. when i was a senior in highschool I was wearing.... Polo, North Face and Nike ACG. I feel like I'm currently going through that 90s tech phase again

4. piece of furniture im currently obsessed with... Reclaimed wood tables. I am on the hunt for a large farm style dining table for my apartment.

5. Living in NYC please share any space saving secrets. Before I moved into my current place, I got rid of almost anything I thought I couldn't wear two or three times a week without someone noticing. I pretty much wear the same things everyday, so its been a good exercise in simplifying my life and just keeping the things you want to wear daily. I'd rather own 3 shirts I'd wear all the time then have 10 shirts that just get worn every so often.

Suspended Desk

2011-04-09T14:46:00.003-04:00

I'm really into this suspended desk from lab Boutique. I always love a good piece of furniture that you can mount to the wall, it always feels so much lighter. It also feels so much more custom, almost like a built in. I love it.

Just realized this is my 300th post!! Anywho, April is a weird month in NYC. We get some 70 degree days, we get some 30 degree days and we get a ridiculous amount of rain. Even though the weather is kind of brutal, just the little signs of Spring get everyone in NYC super excited. Keeping it waterproof and comfortable with this April outfit.

I really like a white tile but I'm getting a bit tired of subway tile. I think this square white tile is a nice alternative to the subway. It's a bit more of a modern look, but I really like it. I think it's super nice with that dark grout although that white grout in that bathroom looks dumb clean.

A lot of people think electronics are an eye sore. I totally disagree, I think nothing looks better than a great set of speakers and a vintage receiver. I can't remember where I grabbed the first photo, but the second photo is a shot of Bo Carney in her beautiful Living Room. Bo has incredible taste and is the owner of one of my favorite shops in LA, the Mohawk General Store.

Home Office

2011-02-14T16:19:00.003-05:00

My apt is officially a 2 bedroom place, but the 2nd bedroom is about the size of my hand. Because of my lack of closet space in the apt, the 2nd bedroom has pretty much turned into a closet. I'm finally starting to sort it out and hopefully slowly transform this tiny space into an office/music room/closet. First thing I did was put together a little make shift desk bought from Ikea and set up a desk top computer. At Ikea I picked up a basic white table top and got these legs. It's temporary, but it looks good enough till I find that perfect desk that I not only like the way it looks, but also fits in the tiny as hell 2nd bedroom. I'm super excited to finally have an actual work space. It's so nice to be able to close the door and to not be on the couch with the TV in site.

Where I Stay: Living Room Shelf

2011-02-09T14:10:00.004-05:00

So today I put together this shelf for the living room. I had the pipes for a couple of years left over from an old apartment and figured I would finally put them to use. I screwed an old task lamp to the shelf, threw an old photo of Diamond Head, and a tiny Jade plant on it and that's about it. I found the task lamp at a flea a few years ago and I think it's from the 1950s, although I'm not certain. I need to accessorize the shelf a bit but I think I like it. Next on my list for the living room is getting a new rug. I have had this one for maybe 5 or 6 years. It's super soft and held up really well but I got it way before I got the sofa and now the room is so gray and I'm just really tired of it.

I have a few interesting things coming up soon that I'm excited to tell you guys about in the upcoming weeks one being that I was asked to contribute to the Etsy blog. I just submitted my first entry the other day, so I will keep you all posted on when that goes live. I'm also working on another project, but I'm going to have to keep that one under my hat or whatever for another few weeks.

So I rarely check the big companies like West Elm, Crate and Barrel, Restoration Hardware etc. but today I was checking out the West Elm site and was surprised to see some heat. I can't get enough black and white.

So it looks like I will be staying in the apt that I'm in for at least another year. I can't wait to own a place so I can finally just go IN. I desperately want to make a few changes to the kitchen so I'm starting to compile some kitchen inspiration. I really want to paint the cabinets white and swap out the hardware. I would also like to figure out some sort of solution for the janky ass tile floor I have. I love all of these simple and casual kitchens.

AIAIAI TMA-1 DJ Headphones $199.00 @ Turntablelab
"I was gifted these Aiaiai headphones and they are amazing. The sound is a little too crisp for me to DJ with all the time (heavy ringing after a few hours of DJing) but these are perfect to travel with. They are made of a super flexible rubbery material that allows for them to be bend around crazy and still be in perfect condition. They are very comfortable so even for watching movies on a long flight you're good. Highly recommended for all the tech geeks out there."
Carthusia Mediterraneo Eau de Parfum $130.00 @ Bigelow Chemists
"I really love a sweet citrusy fragrance. This is one of my favorites. I especially love that it comes in a solid perfume that can be kept in a locket"
Solid Cashmere Hat $34.99 @ J. Crew
"Doesn't seem like much but for every day, there's nothing better than a basic cashmere hat. Another great stocking stuffer."
Happy Socks $10.00 @ Opening Ceremony
"Happy socks are the perfect stocking stuffer. Can't go wrong with these, they're perfect peering out of all the cut out shoes folks are into."
Damir Doma Cashmere Wool Tresdil Jersey Hood Hat £225.00 @ Oki-Ni
"I love men's clothing and accessories. This is a great alternative to the wool beanie, it can definitely be made to look very feminine with some wavy locks peeling out of the sides. It just looks regal and it's cashmere so it's warm!"
The Vertu Constellation Quest $5000.00 @ Vertu
"If I can't find a way to spend enough annually to get a black card I'll just take the Vertu phone complete with concierge service thank you very much! This is absurd, I would just look like a jerk carrying this phone, the starting price for the entry level phone is $5k."
Harman Kardon SoundSticks III 2.1 Channel Sound System $169.95 @ Apple Store
"Nothing you've never seen before but a great gift for the girl who likes her music and likes quality sound."

"I love lounge wear. Sexy lingerie is great and all, but it's just not all that comfortable. This is still cute and sexy but is actually for her."
Lindsey Caldwell aka DJ Lindsey
So for the final "For your lady" post I harassed my favorite gal, my wife, Lindsey Caldwell to compile a list. I wish I got this list earlier it would've made my holiday shopping a little easier. Lindsey is a DJ, Music Programmer, and sometimes works in Fashion working with Opening Ceremony or doing model castings for companies like KCD, casting for shows such as Marc Jacobs & Chloe. Lindsey put together a nice selection of girlie items, stocking stuffers, and gadgets. Thanks Lindsey!!

Quaker Marine Co. Long Bill Caps $32.oo-$39.50 @ Quaker Marine Co.
It's hard to find a good long bill cap. Polo used to have some nice ones in the 90s but they are dumb pricey if you try to hunt one down on Ebay. Quaker Marine Co. offers a few nice Long Bill cap for any type of weather.

49er Starter Parka $85.00 @ Ebay
"I was lucky enough to scoop up this parka at Thrift Town (SF) last summer. It was way out of season so I bought it for a measly 15 BUCK$! Indeed it was a total steal, but I was pleasantly surprised to find more online under $100. Nothing says I Love You more than an original Starter. And if you're gonna go Niners, go for this era. It's the classic red and gold, before the transition to burgundy."

Proenza Storm Collar Jacket $1743.00 @ Opening Ceremony
"When I saw this jacket I snapped right into a Wayne's World moment--"It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine." I'm still waiting to meet Tia Carrere at a party, wife her, and find myself with this delicious Proenza on my back, but hey, we still have a few more days til xmas if anyone out there wants to coordinate this!"

Telfar Layered Jean Pants with Cargo Pocket $323.00 @ Telfar
"Check out my boy's new online shop at Telfar.net (photography by yours truly). Cop these crazy amazing jeans and take those dark denim boot cuts you wore in 1999 to the next-slash-highest level"
New Era All Black Leather Fitted $59.99 @ ECAP CITY
"Yo if you sleep on this like I did last winter season, your head won't be feeling any New Era leather until next year. I'm a compact 6 7/8 so my size is the first to go ..by 12 year olds! Awww mannnn!!"
Northface Nordend Bomber $349.00 @ The North Face
"Tis the season for a brand new puff jacket. I turned to Northface for a trusty puffy and found this dope Nordend Bomber made with my favorite high shine nylon. You can scoop this up in Black, Swamp green, or Chilli Pepper Red. I kinda wish they made it in Biggy Smalls Yellow but I'll settle for the Black!"
All White Air Max 90s $94.99 @ Foot Locker
" I am all about wearing my Nike trainers in and out of the gym. Partly for comfort, but mostly for comic relief. When you take trainers out of an exercise setting, your look automatically turns into "Urban Street Dancer." Especially if you're Filipino. Not sure if you're going for that ABDC affect, but one cannot deny that these all-white Air Max's are HELLA CLEAN. If you're looking for a new all-white shoe to remix those beat up Air Force 1's, I say turn to these."
Christelle de Castro

So for the third installment of the "For your lady" posts I reached out to good friend Christelle de Castro. She is one of my absolute favorite people, she is a super talented photographer and has the most amazing Tomboy style. Thanks so much Christelle!!
