Current Obsessions: Welcome to Brooklyn, Hillary

With Hillary Clinton renting space in Brooklyn (hipster headquarters for a presidential campaign?), Francesca naturally had some advice about how she should decorate it: Francesca’s living room has a few more ideas to offer.

Here’s a few more things we obsessed about this week:

• Climbing honeysuckle anchor a drought-tolerant garden in Santa Monica, CA
• Spring produce 101.
• The high price of cheap food.
• Mark your calendars: The first Remodelista & Gardenista Market of 2015 is headed to the Marin Country Mart on May 9th from 10 am to 5 pm.
• Should we get Ikea’s new $49 wicker chair in black or white? Or green?
• Our new favorite New York garden.
• Mixed-material flower vessels.
• Wild rhododendrons.
