When looking for larger pieces of furniture, I usually lean toward plain, basic pieces, working on the assumption that something so big should not be the statement piece in a room. After catching a glimpse of this incredible credenza from Rosanna Ceravolo Design, a Melbourne-based design studio founded in 2011, I’ve decided to change my tune: why…
Last week I was walking home from brunch in the city and decided to swing by my favorite Anthropologie store on 5th Avenue. They were having a great sale on tabletop goods, and I ended up leaving with some random odds and ends to spruce up our office desk, which also serves as a dining…
For the past few years, pink and red have been my go-to colors for just about everything Design*Sponge related. No matter what age, place in life or mood I’m in, those colors always make me happy. But over the last six months or so, I’ve found myself subconsciously leaning toward rich greens. Emeralds, teals and…
When I moved into my apartment, I was slightly dismayed by the condition of the doors and trim. I’ve simply chosen to ignore it since then, but this inspiring project from Juli has given me a burst of motivation. Like me, Juli has been uninspired by the look of her door ever since she moved…
good morning! i thought it would be fun to start today off bright and early with some makeovers to inspire a little summer cleaning. first up are valerie and roger from cabin + cub design. to make room for their soon-to-arrive baby (due this week!) valerie and roger had to convert their 2nd bedroom (which…

one of my favorite booths at icff always belongs to michael iannone of iannone design. it looks like this year will be no exception- these new dressers from michael are so fun. i love the cork front on the top piece…click here to see more of michael’s work or visit him at booth #2518 at…
i’m loving these colorful furniture pieces from chroma lab- so lovely. click here for for more information. [thanks, alicia!]
juliana at colorblok sent over a link to an incredible artist named lucas rise. based in buenos aires, lucas creates incredible mural-like paintings on furniture that range from psychedelic to tribal-themed. i was blown away by the level of detail in each piece and immediately felt the need to bust out my paints and get…
it’s tuesday and time for today’s new anchor post (click here for the weekly d*s posting schedule): a dresser guide! every week i’ll be posting a new guide of some sort (city, product, resource) but today it’s all about dressers, at the request of d*s readers sarah-maria, ben and annie. i’ve included 65 examples ranging…
if i had to shop for one type of furniture for the rest of my life, it would probably be credenzas. or sideboards. or buffets. see, things get a little tricky with naming these days. i find that all three of these tend to refer to low-ish storage units. they often have closed storage and…
lena corwin picked up this vintage dresser the other day at brooklyn’s repop warehouse. i was so inspired by her find (it’s such a beautiful piece) that i’m zipcar-ing myself over there later this week. i’m still on a credenza hunt and i’m hoping to nab something along these lines that fits our small wall…
i’m loving this new series of dressers from not neutral. each piece has colorful details like a bright green door or orange drawer- it’s a great way to inject some color into a room without going overboard. the collection is available right here at sparkability for $1800-$3200. not exactly a budget buy but they’re really…
speaking of vintage furniture- i’m loving this sideboard/credenza at baxter & liebchen in brooklyn. the bright pop of color in those slide drawers in perfect. i’m heading over there for a warehouse tour next week so i’ll have a full slideshow update next thursday. they also carry these adorable bow-tie dressers. so cute.
ac and i are finally starting to get rid of our ikea furniture and invest in nicer pieces. one of the reasons for our trip to boston this weekend was to visit modhaus, a mid-century furniture and accessories dealer in dorchester. i’d been sworn to secrecy by my original tip giver (the super cool adrienne…
ahh…sufficiently rested from the ikea nightmare (although destined to go back because they were sold out of some pieces), i return. a got a whole heap of emails asking what we got there, so i thought i’d share. (i’m going to share our whole apt update, too, when i find the guts to start posting…
i don’t normally go for antiques, but they’re slowly starting to grow on me (to my mother’s delight). these pieces from capitol furnishings caught my eye so i thought i’d share them. i’ve always had a weakness for mirrored furniture, so these side tables and dressers were perfect. capitol also has a nice series of…
atlas is a manufacturer of beautiful, quality wooden furniture. my favorite pieces in their collection are far from new, but i haven’t heard much about them lately so i thought i’d check back in, because sometimes pieces that are built so well continue to look fresh and modern. and these certainly fit that description. run…
tuesday is always a rough day for me, more so than monday because i feel like you have this long 4 days stint ahead of you and you’re not even to the hump day yet. hence, i like to surround myself with designs that are comforting and cozy. to me, warm wooden furniture is cozy…
