jennifer hill is one of the coolest girls i know and i’m loving her new “places i have never been” print. the rome, italy print reminds me of my first trip to rome with my family and eating delicious gelato every chance i could get. it also reminds me of our in the kitchen with…
yesterday i decided to treat myself to a few hours off and hopped on the subway to go visit one of my favorite shops in manhattan: hable construction. i’m not a big manhattan shopper most of the time (i tend to stick to brooklyn and web shops) but hable is an indulgence i make a…
our house has become a study in orange these days so i seem to be gravitating towards anything within that color family. hence, i’m really liking this letterpressed flower print from lulu dee at etsy. choose from several patterns right here for $25 each.
d*s reader jess in austin sent along this great radio table before and after. jess explained that she found this piece on the side of the road and picked it up. then she grabbed a $5 can of mis-matched lime green paint from home depot and repainted the piece for a new look. the radio…

i’m loving these cool new pieces from designers kiki van eijk and joost van bleiswijk. these, and many more, will be debuting at moscow design week, august 29th-31st. [thanks, kristina!]
whenever we’re thinking about making a project, we always look around the house to see what materials we’ve got on hand. normally that means using a random piece of cork, or a surplus scrap of fabric. this week was a little different. we’ve had a lovely bottle of fleur de sel that derek’s parents gave…
lately i’ve been paying more and more attention to architecture. after spending the last two years in an apartment with room shapes and walls that make no sense at all (why would anyone make a hallway door that is less than 2 feet wide?) i’ve really come to appreciate great architectural planning. so i was…
i heart these bowls in a major, major way. the orange with the gold detailing at the top? as stacy london would say- shut up. i’m so on my way to buy these right now… [ikat bowls at anthropologie, $14 each]
i’m loving these soft metallic ceramic pieces from chicago based designer susan dwyer of up in the air somewhere. susan just launched her website and is selling beautiful earthenware and paper maché vessels at really reasonable prices (most of which are between $12-$74). the metallic pieces above are my favorite but the paper maché are…
when i came across the work of milan [pictured above], aka moofus, an 11 year old esty seller living in sydney, i was completely charmed. not only do his illustrations have a very julia rothman-esque feel, but a portion of his sales also go to charity (this month is international animal rescue). can you get…
d*s reader and rainy day rose blogger rosemary updated her $2 chair with glossy black paint and some inexpensive ikea fabric. it’s such a great example of design on a dime. stay tuned for 2 more (non-chair) furniture makeovers tomorrow…
bright, cheery and perfect for the end of the summer: new pillows from angela adams. $85 each right here. [thanks, nan!]
ok, so here’s the deal: our bedroom needs a little bit of a freshen-up. when we first posted our bedroom in our sneak peek last october i was loving our bed, the new linens and the new lights i installed on the side of our bed. but now, well, i’m bored (i’m sure ac is…
when it comes to beautiful papergoods, few design them as well as joy does. ever since she launched her debut collection of stationery i’ve been waiting to see what she releases next. and her latest designs- gorgeous file folders with metallic detailing- are simply too cute for words. i was lucky enough to snag a…
