my jewelry guru, rena tom, has a cool new design out- the “sunken treasure” necklace. sure to be a fav this summer. click here for more info.
i just wanted to write something with a title that sounded like a japanese television show. these great new patterns from eiei-o studio are perfectly poppy and just right for the summer months that seem to finally be upon us. each one is pretty enough to frame or use for its actual purpose- wrapping paper…
i always think it’s funny when i find a store’s online presence and realize i am either super close to their actual retail store, or have been there before. this week i discovered urban mercantile and then realized, i’m so stupid, it’s in san francisco and i was just there! oh well…they have a great…
i had the most wonderful weekend in california. i just wanted to share a few happy thoughts with everyone before the day’s posting begins… i was lucky enough to get to spend some more time with the fabulous card girls of san francisco: kate of saturate, stacy of pancake and franks and jean of eieio….
thinking wedding…cute, inexpensive wedding gift idea from pottery barn. for $30 you can get a monogrammed (new married initials) lumbar pillow that’s classy, simple and modern. available in tangerine or lime. i love it.
i’m off to stinson beach, california today. we’re attending the wedding of our friends chris and hilleary [congratulations you guys]. ac is actually performing the ceremony. you can register online and everything. it’s crazy. i’ll be back on tuesday, i hope you all have a wonderful memorial day weekend. enjoy the extra long weekend! see…
this is going to be one of the longest posts i’ve done in awhile, because i’m really excited about this company. three quick notes before i launch in: one- the pictures have dots in them because, on the website, they denote little pop up info boxes about the furniture, two- i actually can’t afford any…
i love the new litchfield bedding from kate spade. inspired by the town in connecticut (come on, it’s kate spade now), these lush, springy sheets, shams and duvets are ultra crisp and clean- very springtime in the country, very “i went to andover”. you can find them online at kate spade. (fyi: very pricey for…
josh’s post on eva solo reminded me to check back in with the ultra modern danish company to see what was new… eva solo introduced some great new (ultra slick, ultra modern) products this year, starting with a super cool “grill starter” that warms charcoal briquettes and allows you to dump them onto the fire,…
claus porto makes the most beautifully packages soaps, bath salts and candles. i don’t even like bar soap (hate the residue), but i love these. i’m such a sucker for great packaging. you’ve probably seen these in a lot of design stores if they have a small “accessories” section, but heck, they’re gorgeous enough to…
i’m a color freak. that’s right, i said it, color FREAK. i’m always planning which colors to paint so-and-so and dropping in benjamin moore, just for fun. so, even though i don’t have a new apt to paint yet, i’ve already planned out some potential colors. benny moore of course, since he’s my fav. i’m…
oh jonathan adler, i love when you make groovy little retro ceramics. especially your new apple tray. so sweet. all yours, d*s.
cute “duo” series at felissimo design house in manhattan (but you can order via phone or internet). the duo cup and bowl series provides an intimate way for friends or more-than-friends to share a cup of coffee or a something more substantial at night (or maybe in the morning…?). both duos are $48 and are…
we spoil our cats more than anyone else i know (well, maybe not as much as my mom). so, well, when you love design and love your pets like i do, these are right up your alley. postmodernpets.com has a great collection of well-designed products for your fuzzy ones. while most are way out of…
just a friendly mid day reminder never to rent from this man, allan gerovitz. rudest. broker. ever. we’ve taken our search to fifth ave in park slope and left this chump behind. chump! ed note: i took his picture down because it makes me want to puke every time i scroll down. puke i say,…
sadly, i’m not as familiar with space downtown as i should be. their showroom on west 25th in the city (ny) is full of great products i’m always hearing about, but for some reason, haven’t seen in person. until then, i thought i’d showcase some of it here. cariati studios, home of artist joe cariati,…
if the brightly patterned pillows of superstar design house thomas paul are a little too bold for you, you’ll love their new collection launched at icff this year. due to hit stores in july, tp‘s new collection includes some gorgeous metallics with sophisticated peacock, bird and woodgrain patterns that scream elegance. well, not scream, politely…
d*s reader, risa sent this on to me [thanks, risa!]…. tiny showcase is a great little online gallery that celebrates “tiny” works of art. each week they showcase a new designer whose work is available for sale online. it’s a great idea for a great cause- supporting independent artists who could use a way to…
remember i said i’d get more sesame letterpress shots? well i did, courtesy of the lovely husband and wife team at sesame. these gorgeous pieces take the idea of coasters to a whole new level. they’re almost so cute i wouldn’t want to let anyone put a drink on them. i’m just going to let…
