All Black Everything

•••

On Halloween, all sorts of mischief occurs in the black of night. A black cat might cross your path, a witch might fly by on her broomstick or you might see a ghoulish goblin or two. While the color black may be associated with these spooky happenings, black is a classic color of true style and grace. It goes with almost any color and creates a strong ye[...]

Right-Sized Accessories

•••

In kitchen and bath design, size matters — in fact, it’s a critical component. If an accessory or mirror is too big, it’s overwhelming. But if it’s too small, it will seem lost. Not unlike Goldilocks, we are all in need of accessories that are “just right.” Here are our suggestions for right-sized accessories. Luna1 Mirror – Hastings Tile & Bath [...]

Refined Rustics

•••

Warm, inviting and resplendent – When it comes to the current trend of turning old into new again, the French Country style is one of our favorite looks. A warm counterbalance to Industrial Chic, the French Country or Provencal aesthetic exudes relaxed rejuvenation with country-infused elegance. Gently weathered, distressed and rusted finishes add old wo[...]

The Brooklyn Navy Yard

•••

Established in 1801 by President John Adams, the Brooklyn Navy Yard has transformed from an aging shipyard into a revitalized community passionate for design, building and manufacturing. Located in a semicircular bend on the East River across from Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the Navy Yard is spread out over 300 acres and encompasses forty buildings, three d[...]

Industrial Chic

•••

Whir, zing, clang, crash! With a riveting retro vibe and a modern metallic look, “Industrial Chic” design is a hot new trend that’s here to stay. Exposed gears, unrefined piping and weathered finishes are just a few of the elements that comprise this edgy aesthetic. Infusing a factory-like look into your home doesn’t have to leave you working overtime. Here [...]

Everything Old is New Again

•••

If you’ve seen The Wall Street Journal’s features on the offices of Google (Paris, Mountain View, Dublin and now New York City), you’ve seen what creativity and virtually unlimited budgets can produce. Funky spaces with “authentic” NYC graffiti and replicas of apartments as lounge areas make up many of Google’s spaces. To us, this signals more than just fun [...]

Happy Birthday, Andy!

•••

Andy Warhol would have been 85 today – that’s a lot of soup cans! His playful, whimsical “pop” art creations seem as relevant today as they did in the 1950s, when the world got its first glimpse of his graphic drawings for advertisements. In the 1960s, his take on iconic American objects set the art world on fire – and his style still burns bright. What els[...]
