ivy
i’m slowly becoming obsessed with this ivy coatrack from mos office. i’ve seen in it person a few times at rare device but it’s never quite grabbed me enough to bring it home. we have a sort of awkward space next to our apartment door right now and i’m wondering if this would be a…

glove molds
i stopped by julia rothman‘s house the other day and was blown away by her beautiful collection of hand and glove molds. she mentioned that a few of them came from fishs eddy so i was psyched to stop by the shop in brooklyn heights manhattan last week and see so many of them on…
woodson and rummerfield
somedays i browse 1stdibs just daydreaming of what it would be like to own the antiques in their collection. i found these table lamps at woodson and rummerfield this morning and instantly imagined them perched next to my green and white sofa. the pricetag of course makes the dream impossible but it’s always nice to…
bamboo love
lately i’ve been obsessed with finding a good regency style bamboo (or faux bamboo) lamp. they seem to run for a pretty penny on ebay so i’ve been scouring for something simpler and thought i’d see if any of you knew of a great source for something similar. my favorites are above and below and…

stick em’ up

little girl’s room
it seems like everyone i know is having a baby these days, so i’ve got kids on the brain. i’ve been helping a few expectant mothers design their childrens’ room so it was lovely to hear from d*s reader missy babcock who contacted d*s 2 years ago to ask for advice on her 3 year…

ta-da
after a lovely lunch (at lovely day) with the ladies of hable i purchased a yard of “fig” in chocolate to reupholster (well, staple gun) my rocking chair. thank you to everyone for their two cents on the fabric project. i’m really happy with the results, and i think ac will like it, too.
pattern therapy
if there’s one thing i love it’s a good patterned fabric. so this week i decided to make my daily product columns at hg all about products that showcase colorful printed fabrics. there are 5 under $100 and 5 that are a bit of a splurge but either way it’s a big old’ dose of…
real homes
i’ve been so inspired by all of the ideas i’ve heard from readers after the kitchen post. d*s reader katya usvitsky sent over these shots of some of her own kitchen diy and reupholstery diy. i love the way she used branches as towel bars- it’s such a nice, soft touch. always fun to see…
