The sale started at noon, and already a lot of items sold out, but as of right now, these cuties are still available. I just purchased the “etc.” pillow. Hurry, hurry, hurry. (If you aren’t already a Gilt Group member, let me know via comment or email and I’ll send you an invite.)
PS – Check back here next week for highlights of the opening party of the new Jonathan Adler boutique.

It’s getting rather chilly in Boston. Some days are perfect crisp autumnal wonders. Others just plain cold. While I will surely be dreaming of Caribbean getaways come February, I had this post put together already, so I thought I’d share it now. I am crazy crazy with work. Will catch up here with many thoughtful posts later next week. For now, make yourself a rum drink and dream of the Islands.

We went to visit friends in Stowe a couple of weeks ago. It was sort of drizzly, but still magical. I adore Vermont. The rolling pastures and golden leaves calm me. It’s so unlike the untamed landscape in Cape Cod, where we spend the summer, which actually leaves me a little unsettled. It was a quick trip, but we managed to take a short walk on a trail through a national park, where I think I had more fun jumping from stone to stone in the brook than the kids did (reminded me so much of my childhood!). We also stopped briefly at the farmer’s market before coming home. Aren’t the vegetables gorgeous?

I first came across Jacob Kulin through a publicist for D Scale, designer Dennis Duffy’s furnishings showroom in the South End. She had emailed me images of an amazing tree branch, glass, and steel table that I was able to include in an article for the Globe, and in my post Get the Look: Trees (it’s the very first image). When I found out he is local to Boston, I was inspired to pitch a column on contemporary furniture designers in Boston to my editor in Stuff. She liked it, and I’ll probably do the piece in January. Meanwhile, I learned that Kulin also creates fine art sculpture. Hardly a surprise given the sculptural nature of his furniture. Here are some of his artwork that I particularly like.
Untitled 2009 – Powder coating over aluminum, stainless steel.
Untitled – Lamp-worked glass beads, steel, anodized aluminum.
Windjammer 2009 – Canvas, mahogany, aluminum, waxed cotton cord.
Untitled – Ostrich eggs, acrylic, stainless steel, walnut.
Untitled 2008 – Glass, zebra wood.
Aspen 2008 – Aspen wood, steel, silver leaf over aluminum.
Untitled – Enamel over copper, steel, cherry.

At first glance, if you’re not (gasp!) a connoisseur of the mid-century modern, the Eames lounge may look frumpy. I’ve heard from a couple of women that I interviewed for articles, that their husbands “didn’t get it” at first, but then went on to love and live in it. I would so love one in white leather, with a walnut shell. I would keep in Cape Cod, positioned towards the ocean view, adn there you would find me, ensconced (with my Mac Air of course) pretty much always. Like most mid-century modern pieces, the Eames lounge works well in most décors, from rooms filled with old antiques and Oriental rugs to the sparest of minimalist spaces. Here is a sampling of well-designed rooms that included this iconic piece designed by Charles and Ray Eames.
