Current Obsessions: A Moveable Feast

Wrapping up our issue on moveable, modular kitchens, a few design items of note:

• We’re following @thisoakhouse, adventures in remodeling by Annie Meyers-Shyer (daugher of Nancy Meyers).
• And ice upgrades, via @discocubes.
• Remodelista fave Kristen Hecktermann’s shop is restocked (incl. jaunty striped velvet cushions).
• East Fork is popping up at Fireclay Tile now through March 15, ft. the springy colorways “Piglet” and “Butter.” More info here.
• Eagerly anticipating the new cookbook from Erin French of The Lost Kitchen in Freedom, Maine, coming this fall.
• Reports Nell: “Having recently interviewed the founders of creative studio Jamesplumb for an upcoming story (stay tuned), I’m admiring their newly opened Aesop store in the heart of Cambridge. The store draws on elements from the surrounding water and land (freshwater bulrush shelves and panels woven by Felicity Irons; hemp from nearby Margent Farm) and from academia too (a battered armchair and a palette of parchment and book-binder’s brown).”
• Corduroy duvet covers: yes or no?
• Low-maintenance flowers for even the most forgetful of plant parents.
• 20 favorite pantries from over the years.
• Margot is admiring this colorful family of tables.
• In case you missed it: 12 handed-down, sourced-from-vintage kitchen essentials we swear by.
• And the reader comment of the week, on “Silly, Thrifty, and Not Too Serious”: Architects Maria Berman and Brad Horn at Home in Harlem: “This is perhaps my favorite post on this site in my several years of daily visits! The design is the kind that can’t be bought but accrues over time, with plenty of patina, with color and texture that is deeply varied yet, on the whole, harmonious.”
