Carlo Mollino: Polaroids

Updated Oct 2, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

Oh, Carlo. You were an architect, a fabulous furniture designer, race car enthusiast & who knew - a master of the polaroid camera. You chose to keep your pics of beautiful naked prostitutes all to yourself which made us covet them even more when they were discovered. You know what you do to us! This book is pricey but its safe to say no one else you know will have it & everyone will want it! So vintage & so cool.

Yolo Colorhouse Interior Paint

4 people recommended this item

Description

eco-friendly interior paint in a great range of saturated colors inspired by the outdoors. the coolest thing this company offers is 'poster-sized' swatches you hang right on the wall before making that all important paint decision. they also make a non-toxic, washable paint for kid's rooms just in case your little one likes to chew on window sills.

an interior stylist's library
Updated Oct 15, 2006
when you see photos of glamourous homes in glossy shelter magazines do you scope out what the homeowner has on their bookshelves? then this is your list. every volume i choose must have at least 2 of these qualities - engrossing content, beautiful spine or dust jacket, interest of the client, or irony. i always make sure to sneak in a few surprises too, that way you can find out which clients actually read their books. these picks plus great vintage volumes & you're camera ready!
