With an extra hour of glorious daylight and the first signs of spring popping up all around us, we finally feel ready to leave our stubborn apartment perches and put an end to the hibernation.  But if the slowly rising temperatures weren’t enough, City Foundry located in the now established Downtown Brooklyn design district is enough motivation to finally shake the dust off and venture *gasp* off island.

City Foundry boasts an extensive but well-edited collection described in Renovation Style as one “where mid-century meets industrial meets French meets science.” While worth exploring in its entirety, we think the company’s true gem is its eye poppingly innovative collection of vintage metal chairs. Some entirely industrial, others softly aged; some resembling doctors’ chairs while others look as though they’ve been plucked from a Parisian piazza . A varied collection, but each chair is stunningly unique, beautifully crafted, and delightfully detailed.  They’ll mature, excite and illuminate your space in an instant.  For these seats, we’ll get off our bums.

Urban Outfitters now offers a surprisingly chic furniture line of headboards, sofas and lamps – and we are currently obsessing about the Bungalow sofa priced at only $650! This mid century modern inspired sofa comes in both white and charcoal, and the clean wood ash frame also in either a dark or light stain.  And even though it is coming out in the spring, they are taking pre-orders now. Take a look at everything they have at

Displayed appropriately as decorative pieces of fine art rather than as vessels made for domestic use, each piece boasts free-flowing organic shapes and vibrant colors only made possible by traditional glazing techniques. Stephen’s strong commitment to the importation and selection of 1950’s to 1960’s ceramics should be celebrated with a personal visit to his store located at 548 Hudson St., NYC; (212) 647-7598.

Since 1976, Hell’s Kitchen flea market has kept its location as New York City’s largest flea market. With over 170 vendors and a huge range of products, from antiques, collectibles, vintage clothing and mid century antiques, you will absolutely find something to take home, big or small. Their wares vary, but it’s all about searching through the necessary and unnecessary, and the beautiful and potentially beautiful.

Their location is quite convenient, steps away from Times Square, and a shuttle is offered; running between Annex Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market and The Garage, another large flea market in Manhattan, for only 1 dollar!  It’s all genius. Annex/Hell’s Kitchen is located at 39th Street between 9th and 10th Avenue, and the Garage is located on 112 West 25th Street between 6th and  7th Avenue. Both are open Saturday and Sunday, between 6:30-5. Go early to catch the good pieces, and happy digging!

I happen to be the proud owner of the teapot pictured above, (except mine is white, not yellow) and I have to say that I’ve never experienced a pour quite like this. Don’t be jealous fellow tea drinkers, you can have one too; the owners will happily ship your purchase to you. For a wonderful spring daytrip stop by Manitoga, Russel Wright’s home and studio, just north of the Bear Mountain Bridge in Garrison, NY. Then head north to Beacon to visit Relic at 174 Main Street, 845.440.0248
