Does anyone have big plans? I think I will wind up whooping at midnight with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin. However, in anticipation, I’ve been thinking about bars and bar carts. Here are a few nice ones from around the web:

Thanks so much to Casey over at David Stark’s office for sending me some shots of David’s table at DIFFA Dining By Design last weekend.

Paint can pendants; you can try this at home!

Even without the fumes, dining in this paint can would certainly make me high. I love the way he has deconstructed the dinner settings. The whole oversized paint brush thing paired with the checkerboard table certainly has a down the rabbit hole vibe!

Check out the rest of David Stark Design and Production here. It’s hard to choose a favorite, but right now I’m swooning over the Metropolitan Opera’s 125th Anniversery Gala. All the graphics came from the Met’s archives. Bravo! (Sorry, I couldn’t help myself…):
