Current Obsessions: The Spring Table

Grown-up Easter eggs, a colorful new monograph, and more this early-spring weekend:

• We’ve all been coveting artist Emma Kohlmann’s whimsical painted lampshades, and now we’re admiring Watercolors, her first monograph, out this week.
• And coming up on Create Academy: The Advanced Guide to Interior Design with Rita Konig and An Introduction to Decorative Painting with Tess Newall. (Plus, all classes now 25 percent off until April 1.)
• “Kim Kardashian has no Donald Judds in her office”.
• “My friend Eileen Applebaum is a veteran of the retail side of home furnishings,” reports Margot, “and all the while, she’s been collecting vintage fabrics. She now has Threads, a collection of pillows made from these one-off textiles; stop by her just-opened, by-appointment showroom at 110 W 40th on Bryant Park in NYC.
• Leslie Bennett’s Garden Wonderland is on our reading list (“it’s full of delicious surprises” our contributor writes).
• Admiring this collaboration between Anglepoise x British clothing designer Margaret Howell.
• A tempting new paint collection from Little Greene.
• Storage, but make it eco.
• DIY: grown-up Easter posies.
• And revisiting the legendary egg spoon of Alice Waters.
• P.S. Our new Quick Takes series is free and open to all through the end of March; check back Sunday for the latest installments on Remodelista and Gardenista (and catch up on any you missed here and here). And if you like the column and want to keep reading along in April, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. Either way, thanks for following along.
