lora in sf wrote to me this weekend looking for some affordable wedding present ideas. anyone have any suggestions? i’ll post some later, but i thought i’d let everyone voice their thoughts first… [lots, if you'd like to add more details, please just post below. otherwise, i think it's pretty open to any ideas]
i need a little break from d*s for a few days, so i’m taking the rest of the week off until monday. d*s, along with the newspaper column, along with my dayjob along with additional freelancing has me flat out pooped- so i’m taking the week to rest up with ac, turk and ms. jackson….
i’m a sucker for graphic prints. especially colorful ones like this. wish it wasn’t made out of that fuzzy dorm-ish material though. oh well, fun to look. and certainly cheaper than amenity (although not as nice, so you know, not nec the same thing).
bauerware always has the greatest little accessories for your doors and drawers. if i had a child’s room to decorate, i would most definitely cruise their collection for some simple, beautiful pulls (they won’t break the bank, either). i particularly like the giraffe, squirrel and bunny knobs/pulls- they’re just so sweet. and for big kids,…
fun things at artafax: clear bud vases (for when less is definitely more), a great modern magazine holder (our office could use a dozen of these), cute puzzle coasters, architectural bud vases and a classic modern scoop clock from umbra (not new, but definitely cool). the whole collection and more info right here.
swedish designer hanna werning has some seriously gorgeous work. educated at st. martins college of art & design, werning now runs her own company spring street studio in stockholm. i’m quite fond of her wallpaper designs, which you can order as posters…the colors are simply stunning. more info and her whole collection right here. [ordering…
we’re redoing our office with flor tiles, since we have a home office and tend to get a lot of pet and kid traffic (which requires endless amounts of cleaning). the idea of being able to remove a stained tile and just replace it is pathetically exciting to us. hence, we’ve been going through the…
they’re sort of dirty birds, but in a cute plastic form, they’re impossible to resist. hooray for orange pidgeon lights, now available at sparkability (they come in pink and white, too.). would look really cute in a child’s room.
oh, thomas paul, you’re always coming up with fun thing for the home. this time it’s a set of transferware plates that go perfectly with fall’s decor. this melamine series was inspired by a friend’s collection of transferware from victorian england. high grade and dishwasher safe, the plates come in a set of 4 for…
d*s reader, kellie has a quick question i thought we could all help her with. i suggested a few things but i thought their might be some pros out there with really good ideas…. kellie is trying to put to put together her own “fall country chic wedding” and is looking for good tips on…

cute sheets and pillows from delias. more info and online shopping right here [you can find links for the tree/bird throw and scenic sheets on the same page].
i wanted to end the day with something reasonably affordable and definitely adorable: joe futschik’s lamps at velocity and his super cute pup, lulu. can’t beat well designed lighting (starts at $170, not bad compared with moss $$ below) and a spokes-dog who’s got cute down pat (that’s joe with lulu). [thanks, joe!]
beautiful washbasin at moss. designed by g. pasquali, the gabbiano washbasin is made of natural oak with a chromed open waste plug, soap holder, toothbrush holder and stainless steel towel ring (also available in white corian). if i had a ton of money to spend on a washbasin, i might consider this one. i just…
i’m a big fan of studio job‘s work- they always come up with the most creative and beautiful product ideas. this new lamp is no different- the ‘roses on the vine‘ lamp (available at moss) may not be their most affordable work to date, but it’s certainly fun to look at (its base reminds me…
is it wrong that i like these so much? i have no idea what draws me to these crazy “wild cat” print knives, but i just think they’re the funniest. their price is also laughable. a set of 6 for $520. ahahahah. [picture from moss website]
love these mirrored bird wall decals at fred flare ($18). made of polished stainless steel, the mirrors have an adhesive backing so you can stick and peel wherever you like. very cute and oh so one good bumblebee.
well, i never thought i’d say this, but i think i’m starting to like karim rashid. i can’t believe i wrote that on wednesday i watched the premier of the new usa network show “made in the usa” and found myself falling for the big, crazy, over-the-top man that he is. now, let me clarify…
bliss home and art is a cute little online boutique based in good old knoxville, tennessee. home to all sorts of great modern (and more traditional) home good and accessories, bliss has got something for everyone (even those on a budget). right away i loved their vase and glassware collection, and even these little clips…
