thanks to the wonderful d*s reader who passed lovelydesign on to me. LD makes the most beautiful paper products that just make my monday that much lovelier. lovelydesign is the website of canadian designer sharilyn wright, from whom i will be ordering many paper goods asap. not only does she have an adorable website (you…
i couldn’t wait to post this. i was going to save it for monday, but i was just too excited. velocity art and design (my west coast design heroes) has just picked up a great new line of lamps by octate that i lurve. founded out of a desire to create honest products from honest…
i’m loopy with cold medicine so this seems really funny right now. koziol, a german company, makes this funny spaghetti measurer called basil. it measures 1-4 servings of pasta in it’s little circles. too cute. you can find it here. ok, heading home to sleep like a rock and let the kitties nurse me back…
praise be to bonny kang and her fantastic design suggestions. today it’s homework, a great home store on labrea avenue in los angeles. after sifting through their flash site i managed to grab a few things i thought were cute. here it goes: great pillows from neisha crossland, a great clear acrylic tape dispenser, awesome…
i’ve been in love with this table for a long time. it showed up at my neighborhood loom last year and it never quite went on sale enough for me to afford one. i wanted two (in red tops) for bedside tables. alas, it has resurfaced again and i’m missing it all over again. it’s…
bicycle! bicycle! this always reminds me of that great queen song. my old roommate used to have it as her voicemail message. i don’t think i ever left her a message that didn’t start with hysterical laughing. anyway, ms. bonny “wonderful” kang from kewlfinds passed these cool bikes on to me and i thought they…
i love bathtubs. i’ve always wanted a classic claw-foot bathtub, but while cruisin around for em, i found these and thought i’d share. not exactly hot off the presses (le cob is pretty old), but sometimes things are so cool you have to revisit them. if nothing else, they look cool and i thought you…
lebello is an LA based design manufacturer that will be at icff as well this year. i’m rather fond of their cute little swivel PT7 chair- a nice looking alternative to traditional swivel chairs. i mean, for the office. although i don’t know how comfy that would be for an office chair. anyway, i was…
sometimes i’m a sucker for plain wood furniture. and well, modern object makes oodles of it. i like the min coffee table best. but you can decide for yourself by checking out their website and seeing which strikes you as the prettiest.
modern link is a group of new york based designers showing at this year’s icff. i’m rather fond of their hudson sideboard, and the pretty leaves in the background of their website. very green and very pretty. they also make a really cute shelf called the honey shelf that has a built in place for…
moment out to celebrate the beauty that was yesterday. i am so lucky to work here. it’s gorgeous. if you’re in the area, please go to blue apron. their cupcakes are to die for.
sometimes you’re lucky enough to stumble upon something so great that you stop in your tracks, swoon and whip out your wallet to seal the deal. in my case, this happened yesterday at matter in brooklyn. while browsing for some new ideas, i came across variegated‘s new “four seasons” pillows (seen above) and seriously had…
hi guys, i just wanted to put a little post up this morning in light of some not so lovely emails i’ve received lately. i don’t know what it is about my website that inspires such hatred (maybe all the “super!” and “awesome!”s ?). either way, i’ve decided to employ words of wisdom from my…
montreal based design firm periphere has some great new designs appearing at icff this year. i’m hooked on their uno chair, a sorta boxy floor chair upholstered in a cool teal and brown fabric. i’m also kinda feelin their iceberg table (at least i think it’s table)- it’s not something i think would actually fit…
i never thought i’d like wall murals, but i’m lovin these. designed and painted by nyc based artist, jason gaillard, natura design solututions‘ murals are interesting ways to bring the peace and quite of nature into your home. i’d ideally put them in a child’s room, but i’m sure someone could make them work in…
any excuse to reference neil young is a-ok with me. OHIO is a san franciso based design firm that has put out some nice, modern pieces. they’re going to be at icff this year (i’m going to drop by their booth for sure) and i’m looking forward to what they have to show. right now,…
i think squirrels are endlessly cute. i know some people think they look like rats with tails, but i happen to love them. for this reason, i think this glass squirrel is cute. i have NO idea what i’d do with it, but i’m sure someone out there could find a good place for it….
in another life i think i was a tragically wispy french girl. you know, the kind with a perfect amelie coif and an innate sense of style. somehow that didn’t quite translate into this life, but i think it explains my inner longing to be transported to a quaint cottage in provence (there’s an asparagus…
a lovely d*s reader passed this gorgeous chicago home store onto me and i am most appreciative. lille is a beautiful shop on chicago’s w north avenue that carries elegant home goods. most of them are a little bit more grown up than my tastes, but that’s basically because i’m afraid that i’d break these…
i can’t find my stupid digital camera cord so i can download my pictures…but as soon as i will, this post will be massively expanded. i just wanted to take this time to send a HUGE HUGE thank you to the hottest magazine around, DOMINO. the crew (one in particular, thank you ds) heard about…
