Once upon a time we had some really cool friends who lived close by in New Haven. They eventually outgrew life in Connecticut and packed up their card catalog and their cats and moved to Brooklyn. Last weekend, we visited their apartment in a Boerum Hill brownstone and I’d say that big city life is the perfect match for Michele and Burke.
You can’t tell from my photo, but that’s a whale pitcher by Jonathan Adler. I love how its ribbing complements the lines of the fireplace mantle.
As promised:
Their monster card catalog from the Yale Sterling Library.
One of their two cats: Kali, enjoying the warm spring sunshine.

A trip to Japan? Not yet! President’s Day weekend, our first stop was the Mohr McPherson showroom in the South End of Boston. Our home still needs a lot of decorating help. There is a nicecollection of Asian furniture and wares (and it’s not all from Japan). We also took a quick peek at the clearance center in Alewife which has some low prices, but not nearly as impressive a selection our layout. We couldn’t decide on anything. MM isn’t an impulse shopping kind of place. We do have a few pieces in mind… We’ll have to start by measuring up our living room.
