ok, not really, since the idea of putting a hook in something makes me squirm, but i’m leaving tomorrow morning for a much needed summer vacation. ac and i are heading to my family’s house in virginia beach until next tuesday. so, d*s will be closing shop and coming back on wednesday morning. sorry i…
ever felt wasteful using paper cupcake tin liners? well, kaiser bakeware has the solution- resuable (up to 1,000 times) cupcake tin liners! available in a pack of 6 for $10, they make baking a little bit more earth friendly. although, i really do love all those fun patterned cupcake liners…available online right here.
ok, i admittedly had nothing to do with finding these guys, although i wish i had. i swear, i’m always one step behind the coolness that is velocity art and design. john of velocity mentioned these guys and i’ve been trying to track them down ever since. they’re going to be up on velocity’s online…
perry lancaster is a british artist now based in the sunny south of france who makes the most beautiful small scale sculptures. his work is so beautiful i really want the pictures to speak for themselves. you can see the full collection and find more info on his work right here. [thanks, claire!]
it’s been way too long since i posted something on rena tom. i can’t believe it, what was i thinking? i’ve been guest posting over at apartment therapy all week so it must have drained some brain power. anyway, time’s up and here comes the “ornament and crime” (fall 2005) collection from my favorite jewelry-makin…
the boys of variegated passed these fantastic coasters on to me this weekend…thanks so much, guys. dinner-ware is a fantastic little design studio that makes coasters (marble and cork), trivets and tables. there is a series of 12 patterns that you can choose to put on one of the above products. i’m keen on the…
i love line drawings. i’m sort of nuts about them. it was the one thing i couldn’t do well as an art major, so of course, i love me a good line drawing. ac and i currently sleep under a framed one by sleepy cow’s kate sutton (love her work to pieces). these pieces are…
i like these padded laptop covers at kate’s paperie. yes, they lack the strap that would make them really useful and handy, but if you’re just looking for something to prevent your laptop from being scratched by crazy cats (like me) or getting spilled on, these are the ticket. cute, poppy colors and patterns at…
ac and i just got back from ocean grove, nj last night and i just wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions and tips! we had a WONDERFUL time and couldn’t have enjoyed our weekend getaway more if we tried. we stayed at the majestic, which was fanastic (karen and les were a trip), and…
so, ac and i are off to ocean grove, nj this weekend to try and get some much needed sun. hopefully we’ll do nothing but bake in the sun on bright beach towels all day and eat ice cream until we’re forced to move to the pool to cool down. i’ll be back on monday…
oops, i missed these in the “new” section at velocity. salvor, designers of those super cute animal pillows, now make kids t-shirts to match. my favorites are the squirrel, pidgeon and fawn. and what kid doesn’t like animal shirts? $32 bucks a pop at velocity online.
i’m the biggest velocity fan (happy late birthday velocitygirl!), so i always love checking their “what’s new” section…this week they added a great set of area tables including a bedside table with drawer, a high bench and a long low table. each one is made of curved plywood with an oiled walnut veneer and ranges…
mono’s filio collection is really great tea service series. consisting of a teapot, warmer, cup and sugar/creamer set, it’s a great way to add a little modernity to your morning brew. the components start at about $100 and go up to $130 for the teapot itself, but i think it’s a nice piece worth investing…
i love the rollwagen from mueller moebel. not exactly cheap ($300+), but man do i love anything in hot pink and red. i’d actually prefer a model in rubber rather than solid painted steel, but this one would do mighty fine if i could find the dough. available at the magazine.
i’m becoming sort of a cooking and tableware freak, so i was psyched to check out the magazine’s tableware collection. among my favorites: oven, dishwasher and microwave safe origo bowls (love the colorful stripes, so summery); asta servingware, rosendahl flatware and the colorful stelton vacuum jugs. too cute. more info here.
i love this finial from van gregory + norton (it reminds me of white coral), a brooklyn-based curtain hardware design studio. their work is carried in showrooms across the country, and if you’re in atlanta, try jerry pair fine furnishings, san francisco try shears and window and in ny, carlton v at the d&d building.
the innovative design team of stephanie forsythe and todd macallen, also known as molo design, is at it again with some great new additions to their existing lines… after receiving requests from people who wanted to use their paper softwall at work or for exhibits, molo is in the process of perfecting a process by…
i love these little vases, they remind of a game i used to play where each person had a little stand with people on it and you had to guess who each person had by saying things like, “does your person have red hair? brown eyes? a hat?” (does anyone remember what this was called??)….
i’m a huge fan of george nelson. it’s hard not to be when you work in the industry i do. he designed this gorgeous line of mini cabinets (i love the stands) in 1952 that are now manufactured by herman miller (not who i work for). they’re available at the magazine and i’m determined to…
