Current Obsessions: So Long, Summer

Here’s a look at what we’re loving lately:

• A peek inside artists’ and makers’ toolboxes.
• For a good laugh: an Athens architect creates several absolutely useless products.
• Keep track of where you’re going and where you’ve been with Oliver Jeffers’s Places on Earth map.
• Brian Paquette, a finalist in Remodelista’s Considered Design Awards Best Professional Bedroom category, revamps his clients’ Seattle house.
• News flash: The majority of Ikea’s images are computer generated.
• It looks like these concrete knobs may inspire a future DIY.
• Katie Holmes leaves New York for a house on a cul-de-sac in Calabasas, California.
• Alexa has been thinking about buying a set of vintage Marcel Breuer chairs. This kitchen in Casablanca, Chile, by Ricardo Atanacio Balbontin is helping her decide.
• We’re ogling House Tweaking’s latest DIY project: pillow covers.
• Next door to the Remodelista San Francisco office: a two-bedroom industrial loft with a “steam punk vibe” and a $1.75 million dollar price tag.
• It turns out that people who work from home get more done than most office workers.
• A house tour with California furniture maker Sean Woosley. Spoiler: just about everything was made by Woosley, including this credenza.
• If you want to travel like Paul, John, Ringo, and George, take a look at this roundup of hotels that hosted The Beatles.
