byrd house market today



thought i'd send a shout out to oregon hill and the byrd house farmer's market today. o.h. is the birthplace of the openhouse concept and the market is a fine example of how that community is so supportive of the local economy. the selection is great, the market is small and quick and easy to get in and out of. you can swing by after work and get chicken, eggs, bread, veggies and fruit in half the time it would take at one of the local grocery stores. open 3:30-7pm this afternoon. see you there! k&m

[dermond peterson pillows featured in "the best" section of june's house beautiful]

it's a banner month for a group of openhouse designers. you can find them scattered around the best design mags on the shelf right now. looolo is featured in the june issue of dwell (we'll have those pics tomorrow), and a
design*sponge feature, while dermond peterson is getting props in house beautiful, along with john robshaw. i love how the designer in the robshaw image used his linens in a totally traditional space. very strong and masculine, yet at the same time, delicate. and stay tuned for new dermond peterson to hit openhouse next month. enjoy! k&m
