A question came in last night from reader Jody. See if you can give her a hand with her project, it’s a pretty cool one, so I’m sure you will have some ideas…
“I am stumped and thought you might be able to help. We are going to cut a hole in our kitchen wall that [...]
Thought I’d throw out a quick blurb about Esty seller 20thcenturydesignsny. This lady always has some mid-century finds (originals, not repro) in her store that make her totally worth a bookmark. This week, she has this great Danish find, a Poul Henningsen ceramic hanging lamp, for $325 and this terrific little serving cart for [...]
This post inspired me to write about the beauty of the $3.95 whirly hanging candles from CB2.
That write-up showed a table display sponsored by the Viking Range Corporation and designed by Barry Rice and Ted Allen, from the recent DIFFA’s Dining By Design event held in New York. When I posted it, a decor8 reader [...]
I really enjoyed the feature in Real Simple on mixing florals with patterns; I think they nailed it when they said, “Mix them with colorful stripes, polka dots, and gingham checks in complementary tones.” That really sums up the process, the key word being ‘complementary’.
Many fear the process of mixing various patterns and prints in [...]
I noticed a Bev Hisey rug on the cover of the March/April Blueprint, only because I had written about it in January in my Mad About Morocco trend report. So pretty!
It’s such a great rug, don’t you love the bright yellow pattern against white? Striking. Bev has other new items for Spring just added to [...]
Jason wrote in about Pop Cling, an adhesive wall art company, and I couldn’t wait to show you some of these wild ‘n wacky wall decals. Totally fun, what do you think?
Pop Cling is always seeking work from both established and emerging artists, so if you’re an interested artist, contact Jason here. I can totally [...]
Some may consider Spiegel a bit old school (or oldskool, depending on your age), but I find some unique home decor items on their website from time to time. Have an open mind, sometimes the places where you least expect to find something great is where you really do.
For instance, Spiegel has a fantastic selection [...]
More to love from Sweden today… Have you browsed Design House Stockholm lately?
Art Collection, consisting of some of the most popular textile designs in 1950’s Sweden, are now available to order off the bolt (sold per meter) or as table runners, placemats, totes, cosmetic cases, pillows. Learn more about these designs, and locate stocklists, on [...]
Now, let’s step away from etsy finds for a bit, and look at these stunning acrylic beds from Swedish designer, Myrica Bergqvist, available in several colors and four key styles.
A modern interpretation of the past, Myrica’s designs add just the right touch of ‘wow’ without transforming your bedroom into the set of Marie Antoniette. In [...]
Here’s a fun etsy find… MaryInk of Nashville. Screenprinting everything by hand, they’ll even print your own designs upon request (so cool!). Their etsy store churns out everything from candle holders to tees, aprons, paper goods, and totes. Great prices, too. Sweet find!

I’ve heard of a tennis table, but a chair?
Designed by Virginia Tech architectural student Will Holman, Will started designing cardboard furniture but has since bounced into using more permanent materials to create functional, quirky art for the home. Currently fixated on tennis balls, this is the result of a recent modification on a standard office [...]
I’m a very satisfied Sugar Loop customer, her work is so pretty and affordable. Framed, it makes the perfect gift. The latest creation from Bernadette Sipkes’ New Zealand studio is this gocco/serigraph print in metallic gold ink, a limited edition of only 82 (hurry, only a few are left!). You really can’t go wrong for [...]
