when i received my november issue of domino i had to do a double take when i flipped to page 39. to see my own silly mug grinning back at me was definitely one of the most surreal moments of the past 4 years. d*s was featured as part of their story on design blogs- you can click here to read the full-sized text and here for a little site makeover before & after. i just wanted to say a big thank you to domino and to all of you reading, it’s such an honor to have this job and talk to you every day. i don’t want to bug anyone with too much talk about the article (i know that’s not what you’re here to read), so instead i just wanted to welcome any new readers from domino and give them a quick overview of what’s happening at d*s these days.
weekly content: in addition to (4-5) regular daily posts on great new products, shops and designers, we feature at least one original article per day. here is a quick breakdown of the schedule:
- mondays: every monday we feature two “sneak peeks” into the homes of our favorite artists and designers. we try to focus on homes that are a good combination of inspiration and real-world attainability. click here to see the 170 homes we’ve featured so far.
- tuesdays: every tuesday we feature a guide of some sort, whether it’s a product guide or a city guide. we currently have over 36 city guides, 47 product guides (desks, dining chairs, etc.), and 10 misc. guides like a guide to letterpress designers, gift guides and wedding registry ideas (just scroll down to the bottom of the page)
- wednesdays: wednesdays are all about diy projects. our diy editors lauren and derek will post a fantastic new project on the site every wednesday at 1pm. click here for their archives
- thursdays: thursdays are for before & after furniture and home makeovers
- fridays: every friday we feature a recipe, called “in the kitchen with“, from one of our favorite designers or artists. click here to view the recipes we’ve featured over the past year and a half.

i saw this! i was so excited for you!
Hi Grace,
It was such a pleasure to see you in my domino magazine yesterday! Congrats! We met when you hosted the Biz Ladies meeting in Boston… keep up the fabulous work!
Erika
Congrats!
I wanted to tell you how much I love your blog, I have discovered it only a few weeks ago and I went through all the pages! Its is part of my internet routine now to check every day for your new post. I really love the ideas, the pictures, congratulation!
Congrats! I believe your blog was the first I ever followed way back when I barely knew what a blog was.
I love your sunshine cinema poster to death! I did an hour internet hunt trying to find anyone who might be selling theirs, but came up empty handed.
Grace,
I also did a double take this weekend when I saw you in Domino, congratulations!!
I met you at the Seattle meet up and truly was inspired by all that you have accomplished in your young age. Thanks for inspiring us all every single day it is always a treat to read this amazing blog!
Congratulations Grace. You look beautiful and so does your home. Love the new kitchen.
Congrats Grace and the d*s team!
Thanks for bringing me inspiration every day!
So exciting for you. Domino Magazine is one of my favorites. Hopefully I will get my copy this week.
yay! i was so excited to see this when i flipped open my copy this weekend. congrats grace!
Grace-as usual you look beautiful in your media coverage! You are definitely blessed with being photogenic! Is it funny having your life’s work reduced to a few blurbs? I thought the caption over your living room picture was funny-something about having moved from your “IKEA” phase to Danish furniture-it made you sound like much more of a design neophyte-but we all know better!
that is fantastic! congratulations!
this was so exciting to see! I am so glad all your hard work is getting appreciated – we all owe you so much for all your support of small design businesses! many congrats!
domino + design*sponge = two of my absolutely favorite design sources in one! congratulations!
congrats! fab!
Domino is my favorite design mag, and Design*Sponge is my favorite blog, so I squealed out loud when I flipped the page and saw your picture featured so prominently! Congratulations Grace!!
That’s so cool. Congratulations!
Yay Grace!!!! That is amazing! You are an inspiration to independent designers and bloggers everywhere!
I couldn’t stop grinning when I saw you in domino! Congrats!
(and your place looks lovely!)
Congrats!
I’m a relatively new visitor to d* – and I’m hooked! Keep up the great work! :)
Congrats again!
so wonderful, grace!! you deserve the mention, i love your blog:)
It was great to get my copy this weekend and see you and your lovely home. It almost made up for the fact that Domino featured the insufferable Eddie from Top Design in the same issue.
I was wondering — David Hicks and Kelly Wearstler? I can’t say I would have predicted that (not that they aren’t both great, just that they don’t seem the most “you”).
such a beautiful layout and you look smashing as usual! congrats grace!
Congrats Grace, I am so excited for you.
Grace,
I’ve been reading (and getting inspired by) your website for 2 years now and I couldn’t think of a better, and more talented person to be getting all this great attention.
Congratulations!

You look gorgeous!!!!
Congratulations Grace!
It was a very well deserved feature! You have so much content, organization, and ideas here, and as a blogger myself, I know exactly how much work this all takes. You know what they say about hard work?! It pays off! You totally earned it.
I was introduced to your site through Domino a couple days ago. Consider me loyal already. How did I live without you before? And, I may “borrow” your tomato paint color to transform one of the walls in my bland kitchen. Beautiful!
G-
I skimmed through Domino on Sunday and finally started reading it last night, I exclaimed out loud “no way!” when I saw your mug in the mag. So proud to know you and be part of the *Sponge following. I truly admire you for doing what you do on a daily basis. You are a wonderful source of inspiration! Warm thoughts from Sunny San Francisco. -N
So happy for you Grace and the blog! I’m visiting DS since about 2 years now, i’ve found so much inspiration here! Congrats and keep on the good work :-)
Just fantastic to have a full size & lovely picture of you in Domino. Yours is my favorite blog and I often refer DS to other people. Well deserved kudos!!
I’ve been away for a week and I’ve spent all morning catching up on my favorite blog (even though I should be doing a lot of other things :) Wow! CONGRATULATIONS! What a huge acknowledgement for all of your hard work. How exciting for you grace! It’s SO well deserved!
Congratulations what a combination you | domino | and of course design sponge.
yay yay yay! I was so happy when I saw you in there. You look amazing & it was so fun to see some more pics of your home.
LOVE the article in Domino…Just reviewing my last few issues. Would you mind sharing the source of your ikat-looking coverlet on your bed. I’d love to get one like it. Thank you!!
Do you not like your ankles? I am just curious. In both photos you have your hand over them. :)
ha- i never noticed that. i think it’s just a way i naturally sit. i don’t have any problems with my ankles ;)
I have been looking through old dominos and came to this picture of your bedroom. I absolutely would love that quilt. Do you know where it came from?
