Current Obsessions: Inner Life

Ahead this first weekend in May: art in the kitchen, cuttings from the High Line, and an Ikea museum in the works. Read on:

Above: Currently coveting: a new collection from Field Studies Flora (see below for more). Above: A selection from Darcy Cyr Ceramics that will be available at Lost & Found in Los Angeles for Mother’s Day – more info below.

• Our very own Darcy Groves, the editor behind the Remodelista and Gardenista social feeds, is hosting a pop-up of Darcy Cyr Ceramics for Mother’s Day at the Los Angeles store Lost & Found on May 9th and 10th, with select pieces available online.
• This week in dream destinations: a new hotel in an 18th century estate in Menorca.
• Just launched: lampshades made from vintage fabric.
• Continued praise for art in the kitchen.
• Ooh, admiring this historic house, artfully redone by designer (and R/G contributor) Nick Spain.
• And smitten by this curtain (and this feed in general).
• Back to the ’90s: Margot’s got her eye on this Ikea chair.
• Speaking of: can’t wait to check out this museum.
• New Yorkers, catch Frances Palmer for a book signing at Officina 1397 on Thursday, May 7 from 4-6:30.
• New Yorkers, you won’t want to miss this: The High Line is holding their first ever plant sale May 30. The plants are all propagated from actual High Line plants—nothing is brought in. (Registration is required for the free event.)
• Genius. Just genius.
• Ooh, floral designer Alex Crowder, of Field Studies Flora, has launched a line of seriously chic tools.
• There’s nothing quite like a townhouse garden. Pure aura, as the kids say.
• A stunning reminder of what we lost when British horticulturalist and landscape designer Nigel Dunnett passed away this week.
• A Mother’s Day idea for those of you in London: Spend an hour or two at the Handpicked: Painting Flowers from 1900 to Today exhibit at Kettle’s Yard. (Hat tip: Kendra.)
• Speaking of which, Niwaki’s exclusive discount for R/G subscribers is good through this weekend, so now’s the chance to pick up a gift for your garden-loving mom.
• Find more gift ideas in Gardenista’s Mother’s Day Gift Guide (and stay tuned for Remodelista’s! Coming soon).
