Current Obsessions: Small Joys

Happy weekend, one and all. This week on Remodelista we leaned into cozy, autumnal spaces—but what stuck with us most are the small design details that bring warmth, surprise, and sometimes a little much-needed ease. See, for example, this tiny rug for the bedside, a snug spot for your feet to land first thing in the morning. Or a clever drawer that hides drying dishes out of sight.

Here’s to cultivating a small detail or two to bring joy. (Hang a print! Make a garland!). Plus, 9 more things of note:

• We have our eye on Coastline, a collection of nine muted paint colors by Margaret Howell x Danish color house Blēo. Just have a look at this soothing palette.
• Pop-up alert: ceramic artists Maria Robledo and Isabel Rower are hosting a shop at Makié Creative Space, Saturday from 12-6 p.m. and Sunday from 12-4 p.m. at 109 Thompson St, NYC; stop in.
• Going on Saturday, November 16 in Oakland, CA: the Marché Market.
• And in NYC, pop by this sample sale featuring a slew of Remodelista favorites, lots of steals, and “weird things from the archive”, according to Minna.
• Julie’s hoping to make a pilgrimage to Host on Howard, a gallery/shop featuring “tools for gathering” from the team behind AvroKO. Opening November 20 (by appointment).
• On our reading list: Black Flora.
• A New Zealand wool rug for instant color and texture (we like the green).
• Tiny bird feeders that look like they were designed by tiny bird architects.
• Alison Roman says you needn’t have a turkey-only platter, and we agree. See: these 10 pretty options you can use all year round.
