i’ve always loved apartment therapy’s flickr photo section and thought it would be great to incorporate a similar idea into d*s- but with a little twist. i’m someone who clips magazine pages, takes camera photos and is always copying little pictures and filing them away for inspiration- so i thought this might be a great…
d*s reader boris (no comma!) and i are trying to figure out who makes this wallpaper. it’s on the tip of my tongue and i know i should know, but i don’t. i though it was cole and son but no dice. anyone know? this shot is from west elm. thanks!
i have a huge crush on judy ross and her gorgeous textiles. from runners to pillows and rugs, this nyc designer has you covered. these new pillows are available at 2modern and greenergrassdesign for $188 a piece (not a budget buy, but a wonderful splurge!) and come in a wide range of patterns and wonderfully…
d*s reader, janet passed this on- too funny: a modern dumbbell for the design-savvy exerciser. it doesn’t seem to be carried in the states, but i’ll update when i find purchase info for the states (doesn’t seem to be at their us rep’s store). [thanks, janet!]
forgot to add my personal favorite (sorry, forgot i said i would!): my favorite would be benjamin moore: chelsea gray. had it in my old bedroom and it’s fabulous. dark grey in certain lights, blue in others (see ny times shot). so subtle with just the right amount of subtle green undertone. yum.
d*s reader, kristen just bought this for her tv and thought you guys might like it, too! detour dvd is a collection of “motion graphics” that are basically slow moving dvds that play purely visual “tracks” which can be programmed to loop or play at random. sort of like a screensaver, but a bit more…
d*s reader, jason (not the same jason) passed along his bud jason lewis’s furniture for us to check out. lewis works with beautiful woods to create classic, solid furniture that reminds me of some of the danish modern pieces that you see floating around antique shops in new york sometimes. lewis also produces custom furniture,…
this is the reason i wish i could afford to go to chicago more (or at all): sprout home. here are some newbies and sale-bies that will add some style without taking away to much dough. the pink bubble vases above are on sale for $38-$58 (sm, med, lg) and the bird ipod sleeve (made…
i’m such a huge fan of deadly squire. and not just because every time i think of them i hear “wake up!” in my head (such a great song). they’ve just released three great new patterns for pieces like pillows, dog beds, placemats and napkins that are a must-have (they’re affordable, too! prices range from…
not brand spankin new, but i love this all the same. gus’s organic basket made of 100% recycled plastic that’s spun to appear “woven”. it reminds me of spaghetti noodles, but in a cool way. though i’m sure it might creep some of you out. it’s quite nice in person. $90 at id chicago.
ok so the poll is closed and man do you guys have a lot to say about paint! here are the results: favorite paint brand: good old benjmain moore! (40%), your second and third (and fourth) choices were: behr, pratt and lambert and ralph lauren. your favorite paint color family overall is: green! followed closely…
robert le heros is the hip parisian design team behind this fun, city scene silkscreened pillow. available in a square or rectangle, each pillow has a hidden zipper closure and is made in france. $65.00 – $80.00 right here. enjoy! [i'm compiling paint survey data, that will be next!]
this fun little wallclock has hands that keep track of things, but number cubes that you can configure any number of ways (of course, any number of ways that allow the the clock to function normally). $195 right here.
these fun little vases from the sf moma shop will spin around without falling over- and for only $20 a pop, why not try a few? a lovely way to celebrate the arrival of spring flowers and soft spring breezes. click here for more info and to buy.
i always get my craziest ideas at night, especially for someone who’s a renter. i was just thinking about wallpapering a single accent wall in my home (a small but central one) with paper- maybe something subtle but modern from cole and son or mibo. clearly i shouldn’t do this with a rental, but that…
genius idea: modern economy is an exclusive sample sale company for design enthusiasts. they hold sales across the country where you’ll find your favorite modern, independent designers’ samples, overstock, and post-season wares. best of all: prices are 30%-70% off retail! there are GREAT pieces to choose from (check out this list! it’s like a who’s…
mibo has some GREAT lighting options with their trademark bold patterns and colors that are perfect for adding a little color to your home. i’m considering one of these for my home office (either lulworth or moreton, far left and right). the link to buy online goes to dp which doesn’t seem to have them…
i’m a sucker for a good ceiling medallion, and i’ve been looking for the perfect ones for our apt lately so i thought i’d share my finds. these came from architectural depot.com and they have a huge selection available, as well as some that come in two pieces for easier assembly. i just love the…
