Good Schmutz aka Things I Found and Love
The best Frasier account out there + Mum's Day bonus.
Every fashion/decor/shopping publication has some version of “finds!” or “picks!” I’m trying to figure out a more unique way to say this, so for now I just have “schmutz” (aka yiddish for dirt/filth) which I don’t love, so if you have any ideas, leave ‘em in the comments.
Read to the end for a bonus “Mother’s Day” “gift guide” aka “finds” that I want but I won’t ever buy for myself.
THE #1 TOP FIND/SCHMUTZ:
Amazing new(ish) IG account: @frasierinteriors. The author of this account is the ultimate sleuth, ID-ing even the most background of props on Frasier. (Those of you who don’t know me: Frasier is my religion/love language.)
This account is a great reminder of vast wealth of TV production in the ‘90s. There’s no Amazon-equivalent buys for even minor props, nary a Pottery Barn club chair in sight. Even the chairs in the KACL meeting room are Mies. I was so impressed with this account that I had to reach out:
Expect to see big things from this mysterious talent.
#2:
There should be a word for things that are not a “trend” but should be. Case in point, this tiling by Australian firm YSG should be…something. Kind of reminiscent of Mexican/Portuguese/Spanish tile stylings that look like rugs (sorry, here at Schmatta we have no advanced degrees in design, so I do not know that term).
#3
Amazing French kids’ pedal car I found on a Tumblr post from lord knows when:
#4
Boy Room! Probably old news for any of you NYT Styles obsessives or
devotees. (Hi, me! And pay for Emily’s newsletter…it is worth every penny). This TikTok show explores the fascinating subtext (or really lack thereof) held within the bedrooms of twentysomething boys in NYC.#5
The only thing from Salone that I can’t stop looking at. Are they stools? are they lamps? All I know is I have a strange desire to eat them.
