Beach weather

07.17.2010 · Posted in Weekend Escapes

I think this would be the best possible kitchen for today – not a single wall, cabinet, or appliance.  You can’t get more minimal than that: Not so great if your beach is afflicted by crude oil or tar-balls – let’s hope they’ve at least stopped the oil gushing out now. My fingers and toes ...

Just go there …

I couldn’t resist these stunning photographs – the work of photographer Michael Eastman (who’s work was featured in the Summer 2010 issue of ARTNews).  This is architecture with an eerie quality – stunning spaces, strangely empty, and luminous, guaranteed to make you wish you were there: I’ve been thinking about tiled floors lately, especially cement ...

Lucky me – I’ve really escaped this weekend, and for the next week I’ll be hanging out with a few of my nearest and dearest in the tropical paradise that is Haiku, Maui. We are staying in a little cottage with enormous views – sweeping from the peak of Haleakala to the Pacific Ocean some ...
