It seems I have a clutter problem. Previously it was piles of mail; this time it’s piles of magazines. Riffing on the form and function of my last post, the mail basket, I thought the same cons...
I’ve been dreaming of making a giant cross-stitch project for years now, and when I saw Jessica Decker’s oversized cross-stitched artworks, I became even more excited. It’s an immed...
Leave it to a 1950s musical to turn a factory union labor dispute into a sunshiny love story. The Pajama Game is just that, the story of an employee organizer who enters into negotiations with a paja...
It’s always a little sad to reach the end of my photos from Design Week each year, but here we are again. Today I’m posting the last of my ICFF photos and celebrating some of the beautifu...
Oh vintage signs, you always steal my heart. It’s impossible for me to resist a good marquee sign, and one day when I have a bigger apartment, I’m going to bite the bullet and get one. Un...
Kim at The Wild Unknown is always creating beautiful illustrations. Her latest project is a series of 78 tarot card prints that come in antique frames. These limited edition prints (only one of each ...
Every year, more than any other holiday, I stress about what to get my dad for Father’s Day. He is the kind of man who doesn’t like a lot of “stuff,” but the stuff he does hav...
Today’s Biz Ladies post comes from Mariah Danielsen, an award-winning graphic designer and marketer who discovered that she could build a business around what she loves: weddings, stationery an...
Image by Mary Kathryn Paynter Today’s Wild Love post is about a couple that was a true tour-de-force, elevating style, art, fashion and taste during a time when it was only just becoming cosmop...
Hopefully, I’m not alone in saying that the weekend wasn’t nearly long enough. (I can’t be the only one!) But I’m looking forward to many more summer weekends away, and while ...
Today’s Long Beach City Guide comes from Sharon Fain, a SoCal native who thrives in sunshine and maneuvering busy freeways. A Long Beach resident for four years, she loves being able work from ...
Good morning guys! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend and were able to rest up and recover. I’m still adjusting to the heat here (time to break out the AC units), so until I can coo...
Before I head out for the long weekend (yay!) I wanted to share a gorgeous engagement party that is so full of beautiful color and flowers that I couldn’t resist it. Seattle residents Mark and ...
When I went to Australia earlier this year, I overdosed on egg and bacon rolls. I sent an enthusiastic email to Grace about how I was enjoying recreating my own here at home, and she wrote me back th...
Even though I covered new wallpaper from ICFF yesterday, there was still plenty of pattern floating around the show. From flat weave rugs to incredible woven seating, designers definitely didn’...
The stationery show is always full of creative design, but it’s impossible for me to not have a few personal favorites that stand out not for trend or design purposes, but because I love them. ...
ICFF coverage is coming to a close, so I wanted to get a few last minute favorites in before the week is over. There were some really fantastic new lighting designs this year, so I rounded up my favo...
I feel like this post should be titled, “Shauna and Stephen never sleep”. The incredibly talented duo behind Something’s Hiding in Here and Forage Bowties have done it again, launch...
Oh, lofts. Lovely, light-filled lofts. I will always be envious of people who live in big, airy spaces like these, but after watching Grace and Amy setting up the D*S office, I now have a better unde...
I love window seats! Not enough homes come with built-in window seats, and I don’t think I’ve ever lived in an apartment that had one :( It’s cool to see such a substantial window s...
As someone who sleeps in my apartment’s “living room” and watches television in the “dining room,” I have a soft spot for people who use rooms for completely different p...
After yesterday’s shiny metal objects post, I figured it was time to up the ante with some intense patterns. Today’s ICFF coverage is all about wallpaper, something that seemed to pop up ...
I’m only doing solo posts for a few companies at the shows this year. These were companies that just couldn’t be edited down to four or five pictures; they begged for a full-blown post. A...
I’m a sucker for anything that reminds me of candy, so these colorful new leather keychains and wedge pouches from Baggu are right up my alley. And at only $16 a piece, I might be tempted to ge...
I try to get my hands on every material I can think of, and sadly, that means I can never make a quick trip to the hardware store. Even when I plan to rush in and grab a packet of bolts or a can of p...
There are so many great things happening in the embroidery world these days. Gone are the old-fashioned needlepoint projects of yesteryear, replaced with a new crop of fantastic modern stitchery that...
For me, cards are almost always about telling someone special that you care about them. I’ve gotten better at sending “just because” cards, but I always prefer to send something swe...
It’s time for ICFF again! This year’s show wasn’t quite as packed as years past (in terms of things I wanted to cover), but I definitely spotted some geometric designs that I not on...
Before I dive back into trade show coverage today, I had to share these incredible ceramic vessels from artist Ben Fiess. They are quite possibly the most beautiful vessels I’ve seen in years. ...
Cold Comfort Farm is a new-to-me mid-nineties BBC movie suggested by a reader and given a thumbs up by our very own Kate Pruitt. English countryside period piece? Twist my arm. The movie’s hero...
