i love hable construction, always have, always will. their designs are just so friendly and fun. while most of their line is within my price range, these are a bit above it…most are above $200. these are what i like to call, “hable haute couture” and they’re all available at the magazine online. each felted…
raised wall art has been all the rage (along with wallpaper) this year, so why not try out some affordable wall art from walter? these cute little sunbursts are a more affordable way to do that mid-century star burst look, without splurging on that gorgeous mirror that inspired it. available at the magazine.
i’m supposed to be dropping the bird thing…so consider this its last gasp (at least i’ll try to make it the last gasp). these wool blend felt “rest” bird pillows at sprout home are too cute. i just love bird sillhouettes- shoot me. available for $40 at sprout home online.
super cool eva solo bbq grill at the magazine- pricey ($560 and up, but aren’t grills expensive anyway?), but so, sooo cool. the eva solo bbq collection is a complete bbq collection that covers every angle of outdoor living. it includes: a barrel grill, completely made in stainless steel, practical with a portable coal bucket,…
you can buy those nutso GIANT (79″ h) lamps that cappellini showed at the milan furniture fair 2005. i know, kind of crazy all around, but fun to look at nonetheless. you can buy them online at the magazine.
my old governor’s school (and then college) roommate, ariel, used to call me a “beach princess” (i used to dress up a lot, and at smart kid summer camp, that looks like you’re trying too hard), while i found it to be a rather inaccurate description of me, i thought it would be a great…
i love this garden piece- it looks like some weird animated back scratcher plant from a cartoon show. but, it’s actually “ramo“, a garden ladder, meant to double as an architectural element you can leave outside, leaning against a wall or even lying down. it’s also apparently quite helpul when trying to reach the highest…
i have NO idea how i haven’t posted on the magazine before. i am a huge, huge advocate of online design stores, and these guys are a great resource for design lovers all over. carrying everything from eames to hable, the magazine provides a wonderfully well organized resource for those interested in design-conscious gifts. based…
praise be to our good friends, missy and alden (and their dog, roosevelt) for their fabulous design taste. they have had these fabulous coasters ever since i’ve known them and i’ve always forgotten to ask who made them. designed by bogdan co. in california, these stainless steel star coasters have rubber tips on them to…

i really like these two seating systems from korean design student, duck young kong. he sent them to me, and although they’re not yet available in america, i thought they were definitely worth sharing. i think it’s so important to showcase and support the generation of young designers out there contributing such great ideas to…
these gorgeous vases are from artist sara paloma. their beautiful shapes remind me of graceful landscapes and towering city lines. sara’s work is so stunning that i just had to post it. you can find her work all over the internet, here are a few choices: show lifestyle, relish, artisance, propeller and space downtown (starting…
does anyone know any good towns in the jersey shore? preferably something reasonably close to nyc? north shore towns? something beachy, not too crazy..if that’s possible. thank you so much! xo, d*s UPDATE- we’re staying in ocean grove, thanks everyone!
i like the word crockery. it has such a nice sound to it, crockery. makes me want to say it again and again. anyway, before you think i’ve gone mental, let me explain why i’m murmuring “crockery” over and over in my head like a mad woman…clio home just added a great new plate and…
whenever i hear the word relish i think of this really obnoxious waitress at relish diner in williamsburg. she once spilled coffee on ac’s plate and the table and then said, “oh…that’s a drag.” ahhh, williamsburg service. anyway, back to the other relish… relish::modern objects (“because design matters”) is a cool little online boutique that…
i love things that scream SUMMER and BACKYARD..hence, i’m feeling the need to revisit some magis classics, the bird table by jasper morrison and pipe dreams by jerszy seymour. both ooze summer and running around in the yard with your bare feet. seymour’s funny little watering can, pipe dreams, comes in a wide range of…
i love this table from california based urbana design. urbana makes those bent ply vases that everyone snatched up last year. i’m totally feeling this table because it’s available in a great range of colors and finishes. ultralite can be used as a coffee, side or end table and consists of a core of expanded…
i always love getting my “new at elsewares” email. this summer they’ve added two great pieces that i just LOVE: coasters made from recyled newspapers and magazines (by ROOST, could i love them any more?) and bowls made from tickets by california designer brian jewitt. roost used recycled magazines and newspapers from all over the…
so, ac and i invested in zip car and we love it. we’re planning to make a run for it and get out of town next weekend for a friday to sunday thing. we wanted to go somewhere beachy, but have no idea where to go or where to stay. we were going to go…
