Pared down. Russel Wright had a terrific retrospective at the Cooper-Hewitt last year, where people got to see a designer/thinker who "was Martha before Martha was Martha." We knew him as the designer, but missed this book he published with his wife, Mary: Guide to Easier Living. Here is a reader tipoff:
I just got Mary and Russel Wrights "Guide to Easier Living" today and have only skimmed through it but it seems chock-full of timely solutions (with diagrams) for organizing and maintaining efficient and serene living spaces."
We also found this....




They featured excerpts from this book at the WONDERFUL Cooper-Hewitt show (Manhattan's most under-rated museuem, btw...), and it was both hilariously quaint, and brilliantly timely. Go figure.
I agree -- the Cooper-Hewitt is lovely. Maybe for the next apartmenttherapy outing we should all go there?
