She currently runs a blog about Seoul/Toronto and shares with us a wonderful guide to the cafes, art spaces and incredible attractions around this…
D*S editor Amy Azzarito is one of the healthiest people I know. When she’s eating salads and green juices, I’m stealing extra Hershey’s Kisses and Kit Kat bars. So I was excited to see one of her salad recipes over on the D*S blog at Currency today. Amy is talking about a great way to…
I’m not normally a super techy person, but when I heard the manager for this project compare it to Epcot Center, I had to check it out. Not only because I loved Epcot Center way more than Disney World when I was little, but also because I love any chance to check out something that’s…
I’ve really enjoyed how many fantastic, affordable art sites have popped up across the web over the past few years. Original artwork is amazing but isn’t necessarily in everyone’s budget, so these print/poster sites have been wonderful for opening the door to independent art in everyone’s homes. One of the newest members of the affordable…
Before we get started today, I wanted to take a second to send a very happy birthday to my husband, business partner and all-around best friend, AC. He turns 34 today, and I’m so excited to share his Paul Pierce birthday with him. Happy Bday, AC! xo, grace *This tea towel ($10) seemed to fit…
Christina Weber has lived in this apartment in the Cow Hollow neighborhood of San Francisco for 12 years. And it’s no wonder she hasn’t wanted to leave — she’s just a block from the Presidio and a short walk to the Crissy Field beach. However, her great location means that space is at a premium,…
Florence Rolando is a children’s fashion and design specialist, co-founder of Bubble Trade shows, contributor to Milk Magazine, consultant for children’s brands, blogger of Pirouette and oh yeah, she’s a mother of three. So it’s no wonder that her home is full of toys and elements of play. Being half Swiss and half French also makes…

As a big fan of Skinny Laminx, I was delighted to come across the sneak peek of Heather Moore (writer, illustrator and owner of Skinny Laminx). She lives with her husband and two cats in Cape Town, South Africa. Isn’t their kitchen amazing? Those green cabinets! With wood countertops and small pops of red, yellow…
This weekend, AC and I managed to sell a good chunk of our furniture in preparation for moving to a new apartment. I decided it’s time for me to really make good on all the advice I give people to invest in fewer, nicer pieces and actually do that myself. So part of the mid-century…
Maybe it’s because of that Alice in Wonderland clip they had on the Golden Globes last night (How glamorous did everyone look? I loved it!), but rabbits in outfits seem like a good idea this morning. These sweet little porcelain cups ($35 each) are from Elm Design in Australia and would be perfect for juice…
I’m a huge fan of Jocelyn Warner’s beautiful nature-inspired wallpapers, so I was thrilled to hear she’s expanding to a new range of fabrics! The full collection will be on display at Maison et Objet next week, but Jocelyn is sharing a few preview images ahead of time. If the full collection is as gorgeous…
We try to do mostly vegetarian recipes on the column to increase the possibility of all readers being able to try the food out in the kitchen. Every so often, though, we can’t turn down amazing recipes that contain meat, especially if the letters BBQ can in any way be associated with them. Ming Thompson,…
My parents live in the country in a house surrounded by farms and farmland. During the winter, Alissa and I try to time our visits to coincide with snowstorms so that we can sit in the big picture windows drinking hot chocolate and watch as the snow slowly coats the vast expanse of nothingness. Until…
We braved a cold, damp Saturday morning (well, the 40s is cold for us here in San Francisco . . . we also wanted to test out our new parkas for our trip to Brooklyn and New England next week!) to meet at the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market. There is always a great selection of…
I’m one of those rare souls who really, truly enjoys all aspects of housework. From polishing the furniture and vacuuming our one rug, to mopping the kitchen floor, I fall into a Zen state of tranquility and bliss whilst tidying my home. I’ve long been this way, going so far when I was but a…
Next week, I’m packing my bags and heading to beautiful Salt Lake City for the Altitude Design Summit. I had an absolute BLAST speaking on last year’s keynote panel, and I’m honored to return this year as part of a panel with two of my favorite bloggers: Joy from Oh Joy! and Emily from Once…
It’s a little on the early side, so my brain is still moving slowly. But I wanted to share this fun little decal sticker that’s been on my mind since last night. Aly sent over a link to this decal she saw on Highsnobiety, and I’m totally hooked. The decal mimics the front of a…
I discovered glazes about ten years ago when I decided to tackle my first painting job ever: my kitchen cabinets! Yes, it was an ambitious move, but also a move that made me fall in love with paints/glazes and their transforming powers. This very project is what got everything moving toward Knack becoming what it…
