Happy weekend! We were thrilled to see the news, this week, that Remodelista: The Low-Impact Home was named one of 18 finalists in the 2023 Booktique Awards. Here, 10 more things we noted and loved:
- “How low-effort do I need my DIY projects to be?” asks Fan. “The other night, I trimmed a branch from our Christmas tree. I didn’t want to just throw it away, so I hung it upside-down from the latch of the gate to our backyard. That is the level of effort I require from my DIY decorations.” Here, 8 stylish yet seriously easy decorating ideas for laid-back, last-minute festivity.
- For holiday presents for aesthetes—or just some great browsing—Margot recommends Wms & Co., “an inspired online shop created by two NY graphic designers.” (Motto: “Exquisitely practical tools for your desk and your life.”)
- Admiring: the Frans Drinks Cabinet from Pinch, for excellent entertaining year round.
- “Chef Flynn is a big vintage collector, but he frequently divests by holding sales,” reports Margot after her interview with 25-year-old star chef Flynn McGarry, of Gem Wine Bar. He’s hosting a holiday sale December 20-23 at 297 Broome Street with “antiques, pastries, hot drinks, day wine, and other home goods”; 11 a.m.-4 p.m. daily.
- The Charlie Brown tree of 2023, foraged edition.
