Where It’s Warm

Warmth is feeling that so much more than just not being cold; it’s feeling content, comfortable, and relaxed.

In the city, I found comfort inside of Warm, a curated lifestyle boutique that strives to find items that create a feeling of – you guessed it – warmth. It quickly became one of my new favorite shops.

Located In NoLita, Warm carries all kinds of lifestyle items, from housewares to clothing. Along with the beautiful items, I loved the setup of this shop. The wooden rustic floors and vintage looking dark, printed wallpaper showed off the bohemian and ethnic-inspired products.

The Bridges

For a lot of people, bridges are a source of anxiety – traffic, traffic, and more traffic. But when you think of a bridge as something that brings you home, it’s less stressful and more comforting.

The city has been my home for many years, and the bridges allow me to get back to my roots. There’s something familiar, almost sentimental, about driving over the bridges into Brooklyn. It’s something I’ve done countless times.

The sight itself is something special. The view in particular is a two in one – Manhattan and Brooklyn, Work and Home.

 

Industry City

I miss my studio in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

Working long and busy hours, the extremely graphic, graffiti ridden lobby helped      wake me up.

The hallway of my old Industry City studio. I used to occupy one of these spaces!

My studio, your sponge.

Artists want to share their work, but not their tools. I can’t blame them, though.

My reverse commute to Newburgh starts!

Newburgh Studio

 

Hudson river view from our Newburgh studio.  Peace!

Messy ? current and future projects

Egg cart from Harrisburgh egg farm converted to our sample shelves

Great finding from an old watch part company in midtown.  Love the drawers.

Finally embossed leather cushions arrived from India.  Tumbling Italian skins didn’t help the earlier delivery.  But, finally in.

Monday Meetings

Earlier this week, we met with Japanese buyers in the New York EDITION hotel in the Flatiron District.

 

It was a quiet morning, and the feel of The Edition hotel went along with that. We loved the look of this interior. The varying neutrals added interest without being too over the top.

We stopped by the bar, but since it was morning, we didn’t grab anything to drink. Maybe next time!

Kickstarter

We’re excited to announce that our Kickstarter has officially launched! We are very proud of our unique product and are excited to see how this project will be able to help us in the future.

By visiting our project page, you’ll be able to get a little insight into how our signature embossed cushions are created. If you feel inclined to pledge, we have rewards including a leather keychain, an embossed cushion, or even a set of cushions.

Valentine’s Day!

Mood Board

My spiritual mentor , Ralph Steadman.  Thank you, sir!

Busy collecting skins, swatches, and even busier testing the embossing

 

Phew…… took 2 hours at Brooklyn Flea to get a complete set of ceramic letters to spell out HUDSON & KINGS.

 

 

 

 

 

Hudson River Bindery

At Hudson and Kings, we love to visit our friend Alice Vaughan at Hudson River Bindery. With over 30 years in the business, she’s a veteran of her craft. Her masterful skill has been a source of inspiration for us. Her style of embossing gives a vintage look that goes perfectly with our urban vibe.
