Welcome to Psst, where each month the Remodelista and Gardenista editors share an inside look at what we’ve been reading, watching, coveting, pinning, visiting, and otherwise loving lately. Without further ado, a glimpse of what we’ve been up to in March:
Photographs by editors, except where noted.
Above: “Look up, you never know what unusual finishing touches you will spy! I’m smitten with these charming shepherdess-head shutter stops that I spotted at our holiday gîte in Charente-Maritime, France, earlier this month. Back home in the South, I discovered an elegant brass model online in renowned hardware shop Maison Empereur in Marseille, should anyone else love these decorative details.” – Deborah Eydmann Above: “I was pleasantly surprised this week to receive first, a bunch of flowers, then a copy of a book that I’d written over the winter for Hoxton Mini Press, which was printed and produced remarkably quickly. There is nothing rushed about the look of it however, with a jolly cover and a very nice interior. Called Britain’s Best Gardens, it’s a romp through a selection of 60, most of which I did get to, before describing each one in 150 words. I was encouraged to see that Britain’s gardens are getting better and better.” – Kendra Wilson Above: “This past month I started a Substack newsletter called Innere. The idea is a living archive of enduring design, delivered as weekly edits. It covers the topics that occupy my brain—things like “Obscure Swedish Rugs,” “Things Made of Plastic That Are Worth It,” and a story on how to turn your kitchen into a French bio-coop grocery aisle.” – Alexa Hotz Above: “For my birthday, we checked in to Hotel Moraine on Long Island’s North Fork. Set on a grassy hill overlooking the Sound, the minimalist property was as serene as they come. We especially appreciated the private rocky beach.” – Morgan Goldberg; photograph from Hotel Moraine Above: “Blundstones have been part of my daily uniform for so many years that I’ve lost count. They’re extremely comfortable, rugged, and I like the way they look. Especially my version: the 062 is a little known, slightly dressier version of the brand’s signature Chelsea boot with a squared rather than rounded toe and a more streamlined sole. I just bought what I think is my fifth pair.” – Margot Guralnick; photograph from Blundstone
Above: “Having recently reminded myself that taking the train from London to Paris is absurdly easy, I’ve been three times in three months. A visit to Philippe Model Maison on Rue Racine, the interiors shop of the eponymous fashion designer, always adds to the celebratory feeling on an unabashed tourist in Paris. Monsieur Model is a color-person and everything in the shop is fabulous, as is his assistant Pierre-Urban Griperay, whose email sign-off is ‘Luxury Worker-Peasant.’ Last month I bought a splatterware vase that instantly arranges flowers—with the help of a perforated brass plate that fits across the top. I love it.” – Kendra Wilson (for more see our post Object of Desire: Philippe Model’s Woven Terrace Furniture) Above: “I’m obsessed with public gardens like Noel Kingsbury’s new garden in London’s Regents Park. My next garden book focuses on these dynamic accessible spaces.” – Kier Holmes
Above: “My husband insisted we go to the Bookshop 7L on our recent trip to Paris and it did not disappoint: A really well-curated section of home and garden books, including one I wrote about for Gardenista this week—but in French!” – Laura Fenton Above: “For years, we exclusively relied on our stovetop kettle, but after committing into a daily matcha regimen, it became clear that a quicker boil was in order. I’ve been enjoying our new electric kettle (we have the Aarke one) and the rapid boil has been a nice luxury. I still like having the kettle on the stovetop however for occasional use.” – Alexa Hotz; photograph from Aarke Above: “The glorious sunshine over the Easter bank holiday weekend was a wonderful surprise in Charente-Maritime, France, giving the locals a taste of the long, hot summer days to come. A fine, white curtain, draped romantically from a tree, provided just enough shade and privacy in this town garden—showing how magical and effective simple spontaneity can be.” – Deborah Eydmann
