Who doesn’t love gossip? I had planned to bring you a hot and heavy gossip filled post today but I quickly realized that I only have two very small tidbits to share and I was quickly reminded of my sad, decidedly un-gossip filled life. I cleaned out my fridge this weekend. No that is not one of my news items, merely proof of my lameness.
So, call it gossip, whateves, here’s what I’ve got for you:
1. I’m sure you all already know this but did you realize that Margaret Russell is now editor and chief of Architectural digest?
Conde Nast could have put a smurf in charge of that rag and it would have been an improvement, but I’m pretty giddy at the prospect of Mme. Russell taking over. Mags, a small request: no more “hi def” photos, no more tuscan anything, no more director’s homes just because they are director’s homes. Also, steer clear of anything overly Amish. You know the issue I’m referring to. I know I don’t need to tell you these things, I trust you. Also, sorry I chose this blurry photo of you, I just liked all those fabrics in the background. Next time ask your pal to hold his iPhone a little more steady.
Look forward to seeing Margaret’s first AD issue in January. And to think, I was going to let my subscription lapse. Elle Decor promoted from within, hopefully it will stay groovy.
Talking Point #2: Erin is taking a vacay
Erin and I both need a little break. Don’t worry, it’s not you, it’s us. Promise. Just to prove it, we’ve concocted a sneaky plan to keep you dudes around: For the next few weeks I’m going to be your design tour guide 3 days a week while erin goes sky diving and horse whispering and stuff. Once my sweet little angel baby arrives, she will return to her post and you can cry a thousand tears in my absence. Basically, you guys are going to have to live off 3 posts a week for a while and put up with my ass. Did I tell you about the fridge cleaning?
Talking point #3: There were terms to this vacation. Erin says I have to give you longish posts sometimes. UGH!!! You know I’m the one pic-per-post wonder, but I guess I can suck it up for her. Starting right now: Look! Beds!
If ever I have reason to buy a twin bed, I shall look no further than this brass four poster. And yes, I will totally toss a fur on the end just for good measure.
Who do you suppose sits in those chairs? This picture is lovely, but when you really think of the logistics of it, it’s a bit of a head-scratcher.
Every single thing about this photo is awesome. The end.
Ok, so this room doesn’t really fit, but I want to talk to you about the walls. Right now I have one black wall in my bedroom, it looks great, but every time I see this room I think that maybe I need all black walls in my bedroom. My floor is white, too. Thoughts?
And just so the previous photo doesn’t feel alone in it’s dark-wallness, I tossed this one in for good measure. You know, I have a chair a lot like that in my room, but no metal cross sculptures, surprisingly enough.
Now how’s that for some Hott Goss?

I understand perfectly, but the blogosphere will be a bit lonelier without your daily missives.
You know all of my bedroom walls are dark as well as the ceiling. I love the sleeping cave aspect.
And I cannot wait to see what Ms. Russell does with AD. Like you said, anything would be an improvement.
Can I still comment on your posts even though I am on “vacation,” which currently involves a lot of sweeping and cleaning up after Ike?
So, this post was awesome. Yes, I look great on a jet ski, but also the beds are out of control. Where did you find these goodies?
And I didn’t even know MR was becoming the big chief — some design blogger I am. I’m pretty stoked, though. If the mag looks half as good as her hair and wardrobe, we’ll be in business.
Erin, I can’t be expected to write long posts AND remember my sources, can I?
Oh, fine — don’t share your secret awesome sources. Just don’t be surprised when my next posts are lame!
Wow that gossip is all over the place. But Raina knows that I like any gossip I can get.
Beds- Yum- especially with fur. But maybe faux fur.
AD- don’t subscribe, but might now.
Erin- you’ll be missed dearly. I may just have to go back and read old stuff. But I totally, totally understand. If people didn’t find me from the blog and hire me (and lord knows why they do that) I would have quit ages ago. Well maybe quit and come back and then quit. Like a bad relationship.
Love the black walls! Totally do all 4 if you have time before the stork arrives.
Ha a smurf running AD too funny.. Yes to incredible twin brass bed and hello black walls. You should paint em all. Well maybe. Depending on how high the ceiling is and how much light you have….
xoxoo
You definitely need four black walls and a black ceiling.
I’d gladly sleep single in a single bed if it was that brass 4-poster. Love it.
Exactly what susie q says. Where do you find these amazing photos? Will miss the daily posts. Your blog is a highlight of my day.
hey, i’m just glad you guys aren’t calling it quits! i’ll live w/ the three days a week, i guess. that actually seems to be a trend starting in the blog world. that twin brass bed is too good!
I trust you to make fridge cleaning a more attractive and interesting endeavour – so I will deal with what comes my way!
Karly, you just lost all of your Amish readers.
i’ll take DC whatever way i can get it.
xo!
I want that brass bed, queen-size please. In your spare time (you know, when you’re not cleaning the refrigerator or getting ready to give birth) do you think you can find one for me, in the DC area, on Craigslist, for super cheap?
Lovely pictures. seems like a mysterious place to sleep. a place to dream about kings & queens
