The Editors’ Cut: The Art of the Doodle
Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly column dedicated to beautiful and useful finds for all over the house. In this installment: Maybe it’s the constant engagement with our phones, or the proliferation of AI and its uncanny creations, but lately we’ve found ourselves drawn—pun fully intended—to doodles, markings, and sketches, the kind scrawled in the margins or scribbled while daydreaming. From lampshades to tablecloths to beguiling serving platters, these 10 finds give permanence to the personal and to shapes, figures, and forms—the more irreverent the better. — The Remodelista Editors
