What do you want in the world, father? Since 2020, we’ve been turning to Remodelista contributor Myles Tipley every year for answers. Like many fathers, Myles initially says he can’t think of anything. But then he captures us with a surprisingly detailed, annotated wish list, all of which we immediately crave.
A DJ married to fellow DJ Lindsey Tipley, Myles is a former design blogger and longtime automotive connoisseur (he’s currently a brand ambassador for Porsche and Lindsey is a senior producer at global events company Tait). The couple has a 14-year-old son, Henry, and an 8-year-old daughter, Amel, and are New York transplants in North Atlanta where they’ve been renovating a 1980s modern house. Here’s what Myles has to offer to discerning dads like him.
NB: Father’s Day this year is June 21.

Above: The Studio Lima Y Stand TV Holder from Shelf is currently on sale for $445 (marked down from $556). Fits TVs up to 65 inches.
“Putting the TV above the fireplace has never been a favorite of mine; I really like that now there are other great places there. I’m really into this—it feels clean, it’s purposeful, and if we’re trying to elevate my dad’s experience of watching the Knicks win the Finals, a well-placed TV seems like the way to do it.”

“Sunday mornings for me usually consist of making coffee, listening to music, and watering the plants. My favorite few hours of the week. I really like this raw terracotta planter.”
Above: Haws x Gardenheir 1 Pint Watering Can in Shaker Beige; $78.
“Usually I water the plants with the kettle I use for coffee or the Vitamix pitcher. I think it might be time to have a proper watering can. This one is beautiful, only in this color from Gardenheir.”
Above: Atlas Cedar Incense Sticks, $25, from Hello Yowie, a Philadelphia boutique hotel with a shop and cafe.
“Take Atlas cedar incense from the Earl of East to take with you.”
Above: Makoto Koizumi’s En Side Table for Miyazaki Chair Factory; $850 from Nalata Nalata in NYC.
“‘Not everything needs four legs to stand on,’ reads the description of this flexible design. ‘The offset support allows the table to move closer, extend where needed, and fit into places where other tables won’t fit.’
Above: Hanover Cap in broken cotton twill; $55.
“The perfect hat for beach days and when dad’s high on the 911. Hanover is the new brand of fashion analyst Chris Black of How Long Gone. Affordable classics all made in the US; I personally love their jeans.”
Above: Jack’s sunglasses in black tortoiseshell with black lenses by Thistles NYC; $380.
The perfect summer shades from Thistle Brown’s stylist/photographer eyeshadow line. I picked up a pair last time I was in Dover Street. Love the shape and quality – they are made of eco plastic made from wood and cotton fibers.
Above: Birdwell 300 Boardshorts from Pilgrim Supply; $125.
“Birdwell boardshorts looked great 20 years ago and still look great today. Made in the US and a great purple.”
Above: Tekla Organic Cotton Terry Beach Towel; $145.
“Danish bedding brand Tekla is a worthwhile splurge. Really in this olive-y taupe with fringed edges.”
Another tip: “Bagels are perfect for Father’s Day. If you live in Portland, Oregon, pre-order yours at Red Hen Bagelry, maker of the best bagels I’ve ever had—my sister Deirdre is the baker and owner.”
