One of the students at the Sheffield School of Interior Design found this very cool, very useful-looking organizer for design projects, in which you can keep paint chips, fabric samples, and work your way through a design project. Could be a really useful assistant to the Sheffield Complete Course in Interior Design!
For more details, check [...]

Wow, thanks for all the votes on the pretty glass drawer pulls. It appears red is the winner, with green coming in a close second. I’m going to order the reds and then I’ll re-photograph and let you know how it looks.

I finally buckled down and cleared off the bookcase and did some organizing. Wow. This took me about an hour, to take the books off the shelves and find another place for them, clean out two of the drawers in the cabinet, and find the two dark wicker baskets which were not serving much of [...]

I found the drawer pulls! Online, at a place called House of Antique Hardware, which, by the way, also has all kinds of old-fashioned door knobs and door hardware, those little things that people used to make so they’d be pretty as well as practical.
So, I may be able to Save the Cabinet after all. [...]

I found my wallpaper. Well, I found several versions of it, but some of the wallpaper I like is hand-painted silk wallpaper, notably at Griffin and Wong.
Unfortunately, it’s about 400 USD for a panel that’s the standard 3-foot wide and 10-foot high.

“Good Design” was a concept that first appeared in the 1930s and then ushered design through the mid-century. It’s essentially what you think of when you think of mid-century design: Charles and Ray Eames, Hans Wegner, clean lines, interesting new uses of materials.
You can see a great selection at MoMA’s exhibit titled “What Was Good [...]

It occurs to me that I could spruce up the little white cabinet by putting on nice drawer pulls. I mean, look, the pull on one drawer is missing entirely, and the one on the door is gone; I’ve been using a piece of string for longer than I want to admit.
Also I need to [...]

I vastly prefer wandering around a real, bricks-and-mortar building to look at real furniture, but sometimes doing a little on-line research doesn’t hurt. And I found a very cute-looking, very Chinisoirie-ish cabinet online at Overstock.
I kind of love it, and it’s under $300. But still, “under $300″ means “more than $200.”
Maybe I [...]

Urban Oasis is a store that has space at ABC Carpet and Home. And ABC Carpet and Home is a towering paean to home design, five floors (or is it six? Or sixteen? It’s ENORMOUS) of the most unusual, interesting, and in many cases, expensive, furniture you will ever see in one place. Spending an [...]

Okay, my first job was to get an old-fashioned wall phone, something I’ve wanted for years, since realizing that each new improvement in telecommunications brings the quality of sound one step closer to that of two orange juice cans and a string. Plus, I wanted to make room on that tiny table—and even if eventually [...]
