pink and gold forever

If I could sum up my life’s color palette over the past year, it would be pink + coral + gold = happy Grace. From last year’s D*S book to our new office tables and front door, these same ...

saint john street press

There is a huge part of me that would happily spend the majority of my day bent over a piece of linoleum carving stamps. They remind me of being in the printmaking lab in college, but in miniature fo...

dombon-a-tanya’s platter of friendship

I love any design that encourages people to connect and engage with food more often. I’m someone who associates food with happiness, so these sorts of clever designs are always my favorite. Bud...

sideshow sign co.

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...

national stationery show: best of the rest

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...

icff 2012: pattern

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’...

icff 2012: lighting

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...

national stationery show: seed house

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...

icff 2012: wallpaper

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 ...

national stationery show: sweet bella

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...

baggu keychains

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...

national stationery show 2012: sweet nothings

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...

icff 2012: geometric designs

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...

ben fiess jars

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. ...

icff 2012: copper + brass

I have to admit that I’m being a bit selfish kicking off today’s trade-show coverage with stories about neon and metal detailing. Mostly because those were my personal favorite trends and...

national stationery show 2012: neon!

This past weekend it was 80 degrees and sunny in NYC — absolutely perfect outdoor weather. So naturally I decided to pack up my camera and spend two days walking around the Javits Center checking out...

home terrain

When summer comes, I love rolling up the heavy winter wool rugs and swapping them out for something softer and lighter. These patterned rugs are handmade by Lydia Trott using 100% reclaimed fabrics. ...

crowded teeth: fancy stamp ring

I am an unabashed supporter of Kickstarter. It has introduced me to some of my favorite projects and continues allowing independent makers to fund their dreams, big and small. In the world of small (...

oh joy mouse

It has got to be some sort of blogger rite of passage to have anything tech-related tied to your brand or website. And for the very lovely Joy Cho of Oh Joy!, that moment has come. Joy was invited to...

When Amy and I visited the brand new Wythe Hotel (stay tuned for a peek today at 10am) last week, we were instantly smitten with the pretty bath products in each room. I’d never heard of Goldie...

The National Stationery Show is finally around the corner (!!), and I can’t wait to see the new cards the studios have in store for us. Naturally I’m on the hunt for neon again (pink, ple...

I’ve got a problem with packaging. If it’s done really well, it can make me stop caring whether something is seasonably appropriate and want it anyway. Sure it’s summer, but these a...

I’m having a moment with this lamp right now. I don’t know what it is about the shape, but it’s so appealing to me. It could be the love child of Niche Modern pendants and chunky wo...

One of my favorite things that happens in design, is when an artist finds a way to elevate the everyday to a new level. I’ve always been intrigued by naturally occurring patterns in nature and ...

I have a feeling that this year’s stationery show is going to be a good one. After a few hit-or-miss years, I’m loving the little peeks of new designs I’ve been seeing. One of the s...
