An article I wrote for Ready Made magazine a while back is now online.  You can find it here.  I think this is a new addition to the site, although it may have been there earlier.  By the way, that’s not me in the photo, but that is my house.  They are also selling blueprints […]

I popped into the new CB2 store in San Francisco last weekend.  It’s Crate & Barrel’s new little brother, and it was really interesting.  It was kind of a combination of Ikea, Crate & Barrel, and Design Within Reach.  It had amazingly low prices, lots of very colorful homewares and accessories, and furniture.  There was […]

Another weekend, another garage sale score. As I was running errands before running off to Sonoma for the weekend, I couldn’t help but stop by a garage sale in the ‘hood. There was an old plywood table and a quick glance under it confirmed my suspicions: Alvar Aalto. After a quick “How much” and then […]

There have been many exciting Danish Pepper eBay auctions to watch in the last month or so, and I’ll wrap up all the excitement in this post. This one sold for $203. While this isn’t an exorbitant price, it is a somewhat common mill. What drove the price up was that it is an older […]

There’s a new posting on the “H is for Home” blog that focuses on collecting modern design salt and peppers.  They have some great photos of the different types of spice dispensers out there, as well as a mention of my book, Danish Pepper. It’s a great blog.  You can find the article here. Almost […]

I just got back from a weekend of fun in sunny Santa Cruz, CA.  Swam in the ocean, saw a blue whale skeleton and live dolphins, watched my daughter ride the kiddie rides on the boardwalk, and had probably the best Chirashi sushi I’ve ever had.  But enough about me.  There are Dansk auctions to […]

The Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle has published a nice profile article about me and the journey I took to arrive at my current position of Danish Pepper prominence.  My grandfather was the editor of the Chronicle back in the day, so it’s nice to see a photo of me in the paper he was so involved […]

The spammers are attacking Teak Pepper in force. I’m getting a fake blog posting every few minutes and it’s driving me crazy. Until I can do something about it, all comments will need to be approved by me before they will go live. So, please don’t hesitate to add a comment – I’ll approve it […]

There are 5 great mills up for auction right now on eBay.  You can view one here and the rest are by the same seller.  Check ’em out – all but one are quite rare and all are quite nice!

There’s a new book out on Danish Modern, and it’s called Danish Modern. I haven’t yet seen it, but it looks pretty good. Don’t know if it talks about Quistgaard or Dansk at all. The book includes photographic surveys of Danish Modern furniture in homes across the Unites States; a market guide with tips, facts […]
