It is a truth universally acknowledged that florists never receive flowers for Valentine’s Day. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but we take it in stride. Instead, we turn our focus to deco...

Today’s Denton, TX, City Guide comes from Carli Baylor, a student at the University of North Texas working on her Master’s of Journalism in Strategic Communications. She enjoys dabbling i...
It wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without some heart-related product, right? To celebrate the holiday, I’m sharing these cute little plastic utensil sets from designer Fatima Fazal. Ea...
Everyone is going on and on about Pantone’s “Tangerine Tango” color predictions for this year. Apparently, it’s going to be all the rage. But bright orange has always been a f...
Amy and I are being spoiled rotten having Kate Pruitt in town to work with us. She’s constantly inspiring us with great project ideas and fresh perspectives, so I’m excited to be working ...
I’m sure you’re all well aware of our (somewhat obsessive) undying love for pets here on D*S. Crazy cat ladies? Guilty as charged. There’s not much we wouldn’t do for our furr...
Laura Brunow Miner and Wilson Miner rent the second floor of an old Victorian home between San Francisco’s Mission and Castro neighborhoods. Laura is a freelance publications designer, photo ad...
In honor of this month’s navy theme on the new Design*Sponge Pinterest page, I was inspired to go through the Sneak Peek archives and hunt for navy in homes. I tried hard to stick to navy and n...

The other day, Amy and I rode past Gramercy Park and saw a beautiful Alexander Calder sculpture on display. Calder was one of the first sculptors I really loved and appreciated, so it makes me happy ...
This weekend while I was organizing my closet, I realized that I only have two bags in my life: an animal print mini bag and a Reading Frenzy canvas tote. Because I splurged majorly on the first one,...
I’m a complete and total sucker for packaging (hence my daily addiction to The Dieline). It makes me re-think products I wouldn’t normally consider and is often the tipping point between ...
It’s been a busy and exciting week here at D*S, and the best has most definitely been saved for last because tomorrow, Kate Pruitt flies into town! She’s joining Amy and I in the office f...
I’ve recently been liberated from our yard, where I was snowed in for five days. In knee-deep snow atop inches of ice, fallen trees stood between me and the gate to our driveway, which leads out onto...
Image by Jessica Pages I’m so thrilled to dedicate today’s Wild Love column to the wonderful talents of Jonathan Adler & Simon Doonan, a true power couple whose joyful vision has invi...
The title sort of says it all: I’m a total napkin weirdo. I consider my napkin obsession bizarre mainly because I don’t actually use them. I like them too much to get them dirty. I know, ...
There’s something about the combination of black, white and cream that will always feel timeless and fresh to me. I love it in furniture, on textiles and in clothing, but I especially love it i...
The last time we met, we got out our sewing machines and tackled boxed cushions. I have a feeling your pets (and you) have recently found a comfy and fashionable place to perch. So what better way t...
I recently re-watched the film Objectified, and this time around, I found myself inspired by Dutch designer Hella Jongerius, particularly when she said that what interests her most as a designer is h...
When floors are in bad condition and refinishing or renovating seems out of the question, people often try to downplay their floors by painting them a neutral color or hiding them under various rugs....
Image above via Caren Alpert I’ve been dreaming about writing this post ever since I first stepped foot inside the Heritage Radio studios in Brooklyn. I can’t even describe how happy and ...
Living room image above via Emily Summers + Coleman Coker via Fauxology I’m excited to announce that D*S is branching out this week with two fun new projects. The first is the creation of a Des...
Morning guys! We made some major headway on our new D*S office yesterday, and part of that progress involved investigating nautical hardware and lighting. Amy and I have a soft spot for nautical them...
I love repurposed vintage, especially when it’s combined with new technology. The sleek, monochromatic look of contemporary gadgets meshes perfectly with the candy colors and rounded shapes of ...
The one-week countdown to Valentine’s Day has begun, but I wouldn’t worry too much if you haven’t been preparing. There are tons of elaborate and expensive gifts out there, but you ...
I love maps, and the older the better. I absolutely adore giving reproduction maps from the New York Public Library. It’s seriously my favorite gift for nearly any occasion. Moved to a neighbor...
I love when shops, online or brick-and-mortar, have a regional theme. As much as I love my local designers (and I do), I relish the chance to support small-scale designers in different countries when...
Cobalt blue has been sneaking up on me for about a year now. My love of navy blue seems to have won the blue battle, but cobalt is doing a pretty good job of holding down second place. While checking...
Winter seems to be slipping by us without so much as a peep these days. We’ve only seen one tiny snow storm and rather than our standard “wintery mix” of slush and ice, it’s b...
