I am one of the biggest Kickstarter fans I know. I have seen so many amazing design-related projects funded through their site, and every time one of those ideas meets its goal and comes to life, I want to give everyone at Kickstarter a big hug. Today I came across another great project that’s looking for…
This is one of my favorite Before & After projects of late. It might be because I’m partial to loose drawers; they can be used for so many things, and vintage drawers have their own unique personality that gets hidden when they simply sit inside a cabinet. Amy clearly shares my attitude on the reuse…
Sometimes the simplest things make me the happiest. This sweet little whale desktop organizer from Pfeiffer Lab is handcrafted in Michigan from reclaimed timbers from an old railroad depot in Grand Rapids. Each whale is hand oiled, signed and numbered as part of a limited edition. I’m always losing my phone and desktop odds and…
This year, AC convinced me that we needed to get a shredder and I haven’t looked back since. I’ve become so addicted to the sound of its chewing teeth and the cute little crinkly bits of paper it spits out that I find myself looking for things to destroy. Unsolicited credit card mail?

Rather than attempting to…

hgtv.ca is visiting d*s headquarters (aka, my living room and home office) tomorrow so i’m feeling a little self-conscious about my work space. i’ve been trying to find ways to spruce things up a bit without spending more than $25 so mostly i’ve been rearranging things and bringing some of my prettier potted plants into…
this past spring i was helping my sister redecorate her home office, and we ran into the obstacle of trying to find attractive office chairs. well, that’s not exactly true. we found some nice looking office chairs, but we discovered it was difficult to locate office chairs that were attractive and had personality. office chairs…
