emily at wide open spaces has revived one of my favorite parts of domino magazine on her blog (sniff, i still miss it every day): 10 things that make me happy! today she invited me to share some of my favorite things and they’re now up on her site- im really loving blues and pinks…
now that i’m transferring a bunch of old data and files from my online backup onto the new laptop, i’m going through a dozen or so wishlists and folders of virtual window shopping i’ve saved over the past few weeks. so i thought i’d share some of them today and make room for new wishlists….
it’s tuesday and i’m clearing out my wish-list folder on my desktop. with the economy being not-so-fun right now i’ve been doing a lot of window-shopping so i thought i’d share some of my favorite high and lows right now. i seem to be going through a metallic phase right now so i’m leaning heavily…
today’s things i’m loving is dedicated to the city i’m currently visting: LA! last week ac and i hopped on a plane to
the weather is getting cooler, the days are getting shorter (or at least darker) and i’m starting to feel my internal compass switch towards a palette that’s less colorful and a bit, well, darker. this roundup is swinging a little fashion heavy because right now i’m feeling more inspired by cold-weather fashion than i am…
as the weather starts to change and fall drifts in, i’m purging things from our home and from my wardrobe. i love the way it feels to shed layers of clutter and pare down to the things you really love. while de-cluttering our house i thought i should apply my seasonal mantra to my computer…
it’s sunny in brooklyn today, my cats have cute new (blue) soft paws and bird just opened a new location 2 blocks from my house- it doesn’t get much better than this. so in honor of happy days i thought it would be time to clean out my desktop “things i’m loving” folder and say…
it’s summer and all i want to do is get back in my zipcar and drive back to the hamptons and the land of preppy summer clothes. while we were there our summer intern christy said, “doesn’t this weather just make you want to wear white linen pants?”. it sure does. it also makes me…
this morning i’m feeling like a mixture of antiques and naturals. even though our house is far from cabin-chic, i woke up this morning wanting to bring in tons of branches and tree-related designs. and along with them? little touches of antique metal- like these vintage keys from jayson home and garden. i think in…
my trip to LA last week left me desperate to get back to the beach and sunny weather. for me, beachy themes tend to run to two extremes: cool, mediterranean blues and rich warm tones. if ac and i ever win the lottery and end up with a beach home somewhere i’d love to play…
this morning ac and i are waking up in sunny savannah, georgia. the air is thick with the smell of flowers and i couldn’t be happier to be in one of my favorite cities picking out a place to get married. so today i’m dedicating this particular installment of ‘things i’m loving‘ to savannah. the…
this morning i’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about naturals- materials, colorways and themes. between trying to design a banner/signage for the design*sponge collective at the brooklyn flea (i think i’m going with white calligraphy on top of brown kraft paper) and oggling the cork-themed website for local 11 ten (who i’d love…
my desktop wish list is all over the place this week, ranging from earthy wooden pieces to boldly painted moroccan style tables. i blame the weird smell that’s in our apartment right now. i’ve checked every darn inch of the house but can’t find the culprit. i’m convinced a tiny mouse (which i hope isn’t…
after nearly a week and a half of being sick as a dog i think i’m finally starting to feel better today. and in honor of clearing out my desktop (and my stuffy sinuses) i thought i’d share some things i’ve been loving (from the couch with tissues) the past week or so. as usual,…
i’m feeling a little split-personality this morning. i’m finding myself drawn to both yellow and black (together, but not in a bumble bee way) and woodsy cabin chic (or things that are dark brown and plaid). this probably explains why my house never feels finished- by the time i’ve finished one look i’ve always mentally…
i’m feeling especially girly today so i thought i’d do a roundup of my favorite feminine peices that are holding court in my wishlist folder. from floral knobs to ornate beds, i’m feeling all things flirty and lady-like. including this feel font at veer. stay tuned at 12 and 1:30 for today’s DIY projects. see…
i am overjoyed to introduce anne ditmeyer to our tiny d*s family. anne is working with me as our new intern and i couldn’t be happier. a graduate of the university of virginia, anne has lived and worked in paris and has a master’s degree in publications design from the university of baltimore. she now…
ah, things to covet in a whole new year. despite being on a new financial budget this year (a much stricter one) i still have time to window shop and dream of a world where i can afford to pick up any piece of furniture from 1st dibs that i want. on this week’s dream…
part of my weekly ritual is cleaning out my bookmarks folder. i’m pretty pathetic when it comes to web browsing; twenty minutes into looking around i’ve built up a ridiculous list of links that i won’t possibly be able to get to in one week. so i force myself to clean out the links every…
my desktop wishlist folder is overflowing right now after emptying it out last week. so i thought i’d share some of the pieces i’m oggling this morning. oh to have a few grand to burn on vintage furniture and jewelry. my list is always full of things i’ll never be able to buy (the fornasetti…
