Design Scouting

http://www.gogoabigail.com/blog

Design is everywhere. Inspiration isn’t far behind. This blog is about the history of design and finding inspiration in everyday objects. That means talking about the best of this month’s design magazines, a score from a regional auction or flea market, what’s new and lust-worthy in the national auctions or ebay, how I’m decorating my new apartment, or just something that’s caught my eye or in my head.

    Thanksgiving crept up on me this year. This week! Holy holy.  Alex is going to eat his first solid foods this week — steamed sweet potato. One of the things I love most about the day is the pies.  I love the lattice work crust on the blueber...

  • Children and Dogs

    Posted on Monday November 23rd, 2009 at 16:05 in design scout

    Children and dogs have more in common than I would have thought before I had a child of my own.  Alex Williams sums it up in this genius article in the Times on parents using tips from the Dog Whisperer,  like being calm and assertive with your ch...

  • Inspiration in a packed library

    Posted on Friday November 20th, 2009 at 21:47 in interiors, bookworm

    I hope to have a library like this someday; rumpled and packed with knowledge and evidence of a life well lived.  Jacques Derrida’s library photographed by Andrew Bush, found via I’m Revolting.  Oh, and I love the little fold down desk...
