Welcome to Psst, where each month the Remodelista and Gardenista editors share an inside look at what we’ve been reading, watching, coveting, pinning, visiting, and otherwise loving lately. Ahead, what we’ve been up to this last month of 2025:

Above: “Since September, I’ve been racing to visit gardens all over England as the light fades and colour disappears. Iford Manor was spectacular even in December, revealing the interests of its architect-creator, Harold Peto, and not the greatest hits (wisteria, martagon lilies), which were there before he arrived in 1899. The focus was on the structure and structures that he added, which he made to house and display his ‘stuff’. Put together with unerring taste. A real treat.” – Kendra Above: “Lately I’ve been into carving my own linocut-style stamps; this simple botanical design, plus some black ink, transformed a standard-issue sheet of white paper into some festive gift wrap. Something from nothing.” –Ânnie “A few weeks ago, we were lucky to stay in an apartment in Condesa, Mexico, belonging to friends of friends—who happen to own Oaxifornia, Raul Cabra‘s Oaxaca workshop that partners with artists, designers, and artisans. (Oaxifornia has a shop, La Embajada, in Austin.) Their Condesa pied-a-terre is set up as their showroom, and it’s filled with enchanting things, including this black clay agave leaf tray that I adorned at the very last minute as a souvenir of a great few days.”- Margot
