Savory Style: Industrial Chic

click image to zoom

Did you catch Taylor Gourmet featured in the September issue of Dwell magazine? The story highlights the rustic industrial look of the renovated building on H Street NE that houses not only the Italian deli but also owners Casey Patten and David Mazza. They built nearly identical apartments on the two floors over the market. (Later this year, they're planning to open a second Taylor in the CityVista building at Fifth and K Streets NW.) Check out the salvaged materials and resourceful design in the slideshow here.

Savory Style was inspired by Patten and Mazza's industrial chic aesthetic with this round-up.

1. The French company Tolix has been making these galvanized steel chairs since the 1930s, but they still have a modern urban edge. Tolix cafe chair, Pottery Barn, $225 (also at Sundance, $245)

2. A cluster of light bulbs makes an eye-catching fixture inside Taylor. Try it out with a few of these colorful pendants. Light bulb pendant, Design Within Reach, $99

3. A sleek way to store your vino. Structure 21 bottle wine rack, CB2, $49.95

4. I'm kind of obsessed with everything on Get Back, Inc.'s site, from the salvaged theater seats to the vintage medical storage cabinets. This cart would make a cool mobile bar. Industrial wood and metal cart, Get Back, Inc., price upon request

Savory Style is an occasional weekend feature highlighting great style and cool products for your kitchen, tabletop and home.

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

Image
I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt. The feast included fried chicken, boiled peanuts ( made by my husband !), Rappahannock' s Olde Salt oysters, deviled eggs topped with Gordy's Sweet Pepper Relish, and probably the best fried pickles I've ever eaten (yes, I've eaten a lot) ... Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha

STYLE } Bar Styling Tips with Framebridge

Image
  I've always been noncommittal when it come to putting anything on my walls. Art? Photos? Prints? But what if I change my mind? Add the hassle of framing something and voila, a growing pile of unframed prints and photos gathers dust on a shelf. So I much appreciated a recent gentle nudge from friends at  Framebridge , a DC-based company that's making it easier and less expensive to get those pretty-if-neglected pieces framed and on display. We hung out at my place, whipped up some Green Hat gin and tonics, and I shared tips for stocking and styling your bar at home. (Any old table will do!) And yes, I actually put a nail in the wall and hung a print. Head this way for my full interview with Framebridge . Cheers! all photos by  Laura Metzler Photography  for Framebridge

Hello Cupcake Opens

Image
Cupcakes await the first customers at Hello Cupcake For a sweet spot in this final week of August, head to Hello Cupcake , which opens at 10 a.m. today at 1351 Connecticut Ave. NW. I had the chance to sample a few flavors with owner Penny Karas. The fluffy icing on the peanut butter blossom (above) is seriously addictive, and the seasonal root beer flavor is a delightful surprise with spicy root beer cake topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting. I'm going for a Velvet Elvis, banana cake with peanut butter frosting, next. There are gluten-free and vegan options on the menu, as well. Check out all the flavors here . Metrocurean photo
