Creative Real Estate

Via The Modern House

This month’s design crush is a renovated loft for sale in South London that showcases the modern blend of artist’s studio and their living space. The muted palette and clever layout allows for a collection of small spaces without feeling cramped or overdone.

Eating

Labneh with Sizzled Scallions and Chile via Alison Roman

Let’s be honest, everyone’s favorite party snack, picnic fare, or potluck contribution is the dip. Whether it’s 7-layers, a plastic tub from the grocery store, or something sweet and spicy, it’s always the first snack to appear on the table and the last to leave the party.

Carrot Raita Tadka

Labneh with Sizzled Scallions and Chile

Events

July 16 - Aug 28 | JB Blunk Space

If you have the time, check out the current exhibition at JB Blunk Space in Point Reyes. It’s a showing of the work of Patty and Jack Wright, mostly created in the 1970s-1990s. It’s very cool to see how their work coincides with one another, and helps to develop through their different mediums of painting and ceramics.

You can make a day of it in Point Reyes:

See you all next month!
