Share Photos of Your Home!

Have you done any decorating in your home lately? Laid down a new rug? Integrated a gallery wall of new artwork? Added Spring pop to your kitchen with new painted cabinets? Whatever it is, I want to see it!

Show off all of your shots of your home, both interior and exterior, in my group Su Casa, where readers can share snapshots and stories related to home decorating, crafts, organizing, and gardening. A Su Casa post could be anything from a photo of a loved one's home to a tiny nook you're tickled by. Think of it as a look book for home style. If I see something I like in Su Casa, I might ask you if I can feature it on CasaSugar.

Weekly Faves: 5 Inspiring Spaces


Updated 04/06/12 2:40 PM · Posted by · 0 comments

As a ritual feast that marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Passover, Passover Seder is a celebration rich with cultural traditions that varies slightly from household to household. The focus of the meal is centered on retelling the story of the liberation of the Israelites from ancient Egyptian slavery and includes customs like drinking four cups of wine, eating matzo, and assembling and eating symbolic foods from the Passover Seder plate. We love to see how Passover Seder tables are set; from the heirloom rich to more modern DIY interpretations, these are some of the table-setting ideas that inspired us this week!

Madeline Weinrib's Climbers & Ramblers Carpet Series Makes Its European Debut


Updated 04/06/12 11:45 AM · Posted by · 0 comments

Madeline Weinrib Atelier will debut the Climbers & Ramblers Series at the Alberto Levi Gallery in Milan from April 16 through May 19, in conjunction with Milan's Salone Internazionale del Mobile.

The carpet series Climbers & Ramblers was conceived over two years and first presented at Ralph Pucci International. The series consists of 14 carpets and runners, each hand knotted in Pakistan by accomplished artisans using handspun vegetable-dyed wool. The motifs present in the Climbers & Ramblers series adapt traditional Persian historical motifs in modern ways.

In an essay on the series, art critic Dominique Nahas wrote,

Weinrib's mastery has been honed through years of experimentation and innovation in the field. Such idiosyncratic virtuosity creates a riveting design sense that comes across as innate, effortless, and as inevitable as nature itself. In her work, Madeline Weinrib references calligraphy, sumi ink, and arabesques that recall (at times subliminally, sometimes more directly) the shapes of budding organic forms like leaves and flowers. The remarkable ease of her combinations attracts us to the subtle language of nature.
