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...

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...

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...
