The reentry, as this time of year is known to the French, calls for a return to the essentials (with some fall cleaning and editing along the way). To ease the transition—and supply inspiration—this week we're celebrating architecture, interiors, design finds, and remodeling ideas that are paragons of simplicity and style.
Above: A few of our favorite things: Isamu Noguchi's Ikari lamps (watch for Tuesday's Object Lesson), linen bedding, pale wood floors, and a kindling pile that doubles as sculpture. See A Minimalist Parisian Loft for more.
Monday
Above: Later today, in Shopper's Diary, Alexa shows us around La Garconne, a Tribeca boutique designed by one of our favorite architects, and set up as a loft lived in by devotees of the fashion line. Photograph by Michael A. Muller for Remodelista.
Tuesday
Above: A new take on Champagne in a tin cup: gold-rimmed ceramics from Chile inspired by vintage enamelware. Watch for Tuesday's Tabletop post.
Wednesday
Above: Certain luxuries are worth splurging on: in Editors' Picks on Wednesday, we're presenting the Bed Linens of our dreams.
Thursday
Above: Is it time for brick floors to make a comeback? Philip Johnson's iconic Glass House in Connecticut is filled with surprisingly practical design ideas. In Thursday's Architect Visit, Margot explores the landmark's lessons in minimalist living. Photograph by Matthew Williams for Remodelista.
Friday
Above: We're ending the week in the Loire Valley: in Friday's Hotels & Lodging post, we visit a 12th-century abbey that's been transformed into a sybaritic place to stay.
Outdoor ideas? Over Gardenista, they're also exploring Minimalist Glamour this week.
