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: “I’m in Berlin with my twin sister who insisted on going to Manufactum before anywhere else—good call!” – Kendra Wilson; photograph from Manufactum Above: “I’ve been loving this edit of select vintage home finds from Autour de ma Chambre by French photographer Francois Pragnère. You can follow along at @autourdemachambre.” – Alexa Hotz; photograph from Autour de ma Chambre Above: “I’m currently staying at the storied Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego for a quick spring break trip and spotted this display of old-fashioned room keys with tassels at the check-in desk. Begged for one of those charming keys but received a key card instead—alas.” – Fan Winston; photograph from WATG, the design firm behind the latest renovation of the hotel.
Above: “I attended the opening of Assembly Line Annex, a new exhibition space in Tribeca from the General Assembly team. The debut show, Junctions, is an impressive collection of furniture and lighting by Jason Roskey of Fern. Rounded edges abound.” – Morgan Goldberg Above: “I’ve been happy to see that old-school newsstands are making a comeback. When I lived in New York I would sometimes spend all Sunday in the magazine section at my local bookstore, flipping through titles. I recently stopped into the new-ish Bold Magazine Shop in Portland, Maine, stocked with all manner of design, cooking, gardening, and poetry magazines—both small-batch and well-known. Such a delight! And somehow I managed to leave with only a handful.” – Annie Quigley; photograph from Bold Magazine Shop Above: “Just saw this plant innovation from the Home Depot Plant Trials: the world’s first pink agapanthus, a 2027 release called Poppin’ Pink Agapanthus.” – Kier Holmes; photograph from The Aloe Farm
Above: “The writer, maker, and curator Phineas Harper has made a beautiful dove-like aluminum and stainless steel mobile to mark Nowruz, Persian New Year. They are going to sell it via a fundraising raffle to raise money for Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) who are working to support communities in Iran and Lebanon impacted by conflict. Raffle tickets are £5 each. Go to Phineas Harper to enter—the winner will be drawn on Tuesday, March 31.” – Nell Card, photograph from Phineas Harper Above: “Admired at the recent Outsider Art Show in NYC: the work of Gil Batle, a self-taught artist who honed his skills during 20 years spent in five of California’s toughest prisons. He now lives and creates on a remote island in the Philippines. His work recounts life in prison. Gil carves ostrich eggshells but I particularly love his painted plates and platters. They’re not fired or food-safe—for admiring only.” – Margot Guralnick; photograph by Catharine Clark Gallery Above: “I love seeking out uncommon media for my child—movies that are not the typical “kids movies.” Our way of celebrating spring around St. Patrick’s Day was watching a movie from 1994 called The Secret of Roan Inish. It’s a story of a ten-year-old girl and her extended family and their return to an ancestral island off the coast of Donegal, Ireland. She and her cousin thatch a roof and re-plaster a home and although a fictional story, it was a nice reminder of the capability and tenacity of children.” – Alexa Hotz; still from The Secret of Roan Inish Above: “If I had an inflated travel budget, I would fly here and get pampered plus peruse the historic apothecary.” – Kier Holmes; photograph from the Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp
