Roman & Williams is a definite source of inspiration. I think Sabrina and I refer to them constantly when thinking/talking about design work. Recently, I find myself citing spaces they have created as some of my favorite in NYC, from the Ace Hotel to the bar at the Standard. I love the way their work evokes a moodiness in textures and found objects, that often pay homage to another era. They mix this vintage romanticism with a balance of contemporary and modern touches.

Above is a video originally posted on The Scout, of the principal designers Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer speaking about their process.

McNally Jackson Books Cafe by Front Studio

I had somewhat recently tweeted from the McNally Jackson books cafe in Nolita about how much I loved the space and the fixtures designed by Front Studio. My iPhone photo really did not do it much justice, so I was thankful to stumble upon these much better quality shots from Kitsune Noir. I love the pages of the books that line the walls, and the books that seemingly float overhead. It’s a great little spot. Click here for additional photos.

The Fawcett House

Built in 1961, the Fawcett House is surrounded by walnut trees on a remote plot of farmland in the agricultural heart of the Central Valley in California. Wright’s characteristic obtuse angles and repeated triangles are evident throughout the house.

The private home built by Wright near Los Banos, is one of the few accessible to the public. It recently went on the market, and some gorgeous photos have been posted online.

Read more about the history and architecture of the home on SFGate, or visit the Fawcett House site to view some historic photos.

Alexis sent me this video to Something’s Hiding in Here’s tour of their renovated Philadelphia loft. The creative duo live and work out of their home, creating projects like the Your Message Here windows, as well as selling various vintage inspired crafts through their Etsy.

The turquoise and woodgrain home studio is full of handmade and found items, refinished furniture, a woodshop, and even an indoor porch swing.
