  • The Oscars are this weekend…Have you seen The Brutalist yet?
  • None of us can get enough of Toast—and lucky for us, they’re opening another NYC location. To celebrate? Two workshops with another Remodelista fave, Wax Atelier, on Friday, March 7 and Saturday, March 8.
  • Mentally we’re at Matter and Shape, a new design salon in the Tuileries during Paris Fashion Week, March 7-10. (Applause to this great Frama set-up.)
  • “This Sunday, March 2, The Primary Essentials & Underwater Weaving Studio invite you to enjoy your morning coffee with us and create your own basket.” Reserve your spot here.
  • Florals for spring: Marimekko’s Field of Flowers touring exhibit kicks off in Osaka on March 5 and travels through Asia all season long.
  • Design lovers, have you done the Aalto tour? Finland has nominated 13 properties designed by Alvar Aalto for the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage List, and five of them are in Helsinki (plus this great-looking restaurant, updated by Ilse Crawford).
  • Just in time for Fool’s Spring: a batch of Sneeboer garden tools signed by Piet Oudolf himself, in stock at Gardenheir.
  • Bad news about your pet’s flea and tick treatment (sorry).
  • Gardenista contrib. Laura is eyeing this inexpensive and attractive grow light.
  • Across the Atlantic, Kendra plans to attend an exhibit at Somerset House that gives soil “the glamour treatment.”
  • Spa-like bathrooms: yay or nay?
  • We’d like to live in Erica Tanov’s new atelier.
  • Got the winter blues? “The ongoing Luis Barragán-inspired orchid show at the NYBG is a hothouse fever-dream escape from the New York winter,” says Marie.
  • Your weekend project: 11 ways to shake up a room (without buying a thing).
