Pattern Pulp & Design*Sponge




If you’re online and hunting for inspiration, I’d say it’s a given that you’ve visited Design*Sponge. Grace Bonney and her team of writers have created an archival mecca rich with content for nearly a decade now, serving up inspiration and a discerning eye on the design community at large.

That’s why it’s a pleasure (and an honor!) to be featured as part of their Sneak Peek series. My husband and I moved into our one bedroom apartment three summers ago and embarked on a gut renovation to expose all of the hidden details that had been locked behind dry wall. Our building was a former paper mill turned pickle factory and was converted to a Co-Op in the early 80s. It was my goal to merge our creative tastes (modern minimalism meets quirky humor) and infuse print and pattern wherever possible. Here’s a look at the results!

 

Budget Buy: The Vapur Anti-Water Bottle




This past week’s been devoted to long hours of writing, art direction and ad agency deadlines. Partnering up with an old friend, I’ve shadowed her healthy lifestyle of mango snacks, yoga talks and this extremely cool foldable water bottle.

Vapur is a reusable, foldable, washable, freezable and a stylish alternative to the bulky bottles we see everywhere. They’re also $10 and up. How can you beat that?

 

Domestic Construction: Digitally Dyed Rugs

How beautiful are these Domestic Construction rugs? I’m now the proud owner of the moon dance style, thanks to a lovely and amazing friend who knew my front hall needed a bit of love. Designed by Trish Andersen and Maureen Walsh, each rug is a replica of a paper-cut design and is digitally dyed and machine washable. Beauty meets function- the perfect mantra to kick off the long weekend!

Future Primitive Wood & Color Accents

Many people commented on how natural woods paired with bright hues was a strong category at this year’s ICFF showcase. Today’s slideshow takes a step back to reveal a well-rounded grouping of this concept across the market.

From the floors at ICFF to Model Citizens to the Milan Furniture Fair to the latest Kooples print campaign and Caetlynn Booth’s oil painting entitled, Exterior’s Interior, this grouping reveals a beautiful (and influential) balancing act.
