Thankful + Wanting

My birthday dinner at Craft was pretty excellent-- it was an ideal, foodie, grown-up, date night (thank you for all the incredibly nice birthday wishes.)

We had some time to kill before dinner on Friday (a rarity), so we browsed around a shop next door to the restaurant that I’ve wanted to check out called LFT and honed in on this incredible anthology.

Julius Shulman, Modernism Rediscovered, 3 Vols. Via Taschen

Despite the fact that most of the images are from the 60’s, there’s very little kitsch in the photos. The architecture and interiors featured are timeless and really stunning. The set's awfully pricey, but since Bryan and I were equally smitten with the books (we spent most of dinner talking about them after just a brief thumb through in the store), maybe I could push for a joint Christmas present…we’ll see…
