Yes! Thank you New York Times, for keeping it real with this article. For the love of God, no more taxidermy as wall art, pleaaase. Stop beating a dead horse (or deer head) with all of these trends. thanks.

2 things

The rooms at the San Francisco Decorators Showcase are usually too overdone for my taste, but at the very least they are always entertaining to look at. This year there was a lot of eye candy, and my two favorite things had to be:

this amazing moss fireplace (try to ignore the ugly chair to the left)

this gorgeous desk (and light fixture!)

Rarely do we hear about women architects, yet there are many who have done such influential, innovative work. Anne Griswold Tyng studied under Gropius and Breuer, worked at Louis Kahn's office (whom she also had an affair with) and did some amazing geometric, Bauhaus-influenced design in Philadelphia where she lived. I love this fireplace, such an interesting example of old architecture translated into modern design.
