this is totally off topic but i’m pretty shocked after returning from my morning bagel and coffee. i was waiting for my bagel at la bagel delight and this woman walked in with three loud children. the smallest, a little girl maybe 6 or 7 years old, had a dog collar around her neck (with…

designer nik daughtry passed along these fresh new wallpaper designs that ded ass studio just produced. fresh off the presses (they’re being printed this week!) nik’s paper voyeur line is called flora & fornication- each piece looks innocent enough but when you take a closer look you notice the spicer side of the design. the…

d*s reader linda passed along this wonderful textile company based in sweden. spira textiles specializes in modern scandinavian textiles that pop with color and bold patterns. i’m loving the red panel above- it would look gorgeous in an all white room where some bright color could be the focus. there’s plenty to choose from so…

not all design is for grown ups- sometimes the little ones need designs made especially for them. i’m loving these new bedding patterns from nurseryworks at sparkability and these super cool pendant lights at moderntots. i’d even consider the lights for myself if my house was a little funkier.
