Etsy Seller: julietew :: Hot Tramp

Updated May 13, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I recently moved into a new apartment and it is missing a whole bunch of switch plates. I wish I could replace all of them with Julie's hella awesome switch plates. They could be the centerpiece of the entire room. (via April's comment on Apartment Therapy)

Etsy Seller: ARTDSG

Updated Apr 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Shelteriffic mentioned this Etsy Seller in an entry today and I was drawn to his lighting designs quite strongly. I recently moved into a new apartment and some previous tenant or the landlord removed all the lighting fixtures leaving me with a lot of bare bulbs, so this definitely caught my eye.

Nice warm wood in lights makes me happy.

ARTDSG also has some blocky paintings which would look nice in your home.

Octopus Cuddle Pillow

Updated Feb 14, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I can't resist cephalopods, and this guy straddles the fence of evil and cute. The octopus cuddle pillow from Sprout Home is a bit expensive for my budget (most things are though) but I really like it. (via Poppy)

Cook's Illustrated Magazine

Updated Jan 12, 2008

6 people recommended this item

Description

I cat sit for friends of mine who have a subscription to Cook's Illustrated. I'm always excited to hear that they're going away.

Cook's Illustrated chronicles experiments in cooking. How to make the best layer cake, the best barbequed ribs, or the best apple pie. If you need to get a pepper grinder, they're there testing out ten different grinders and telling you exactly which one does what. The magazine is a rich source of well constructed articles on cooking, baking and the products you use in the kitchen.

It isn't gimmicky or fancy. It just does the job. (via Patty's house)

Raybowls

Updated Dec 8, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Sometimes something simple is complexly beautiful. These mesh trays/bowls/containers are just all around good.

I've had two rectangular ones in black and white mesh respectively for years. I've kept keys in them, put random stones, and all sorts of other things and they always look elegant.

The new lime and mango colours here are bright punctuations to any house.

There's something wonderful about J.Davis' house rings. Something sort of magical.

A more thoughtful design blog that focuses on the home. Includes a "real life test kitchen" category which I enjoy. Written by a group of people mainly in the design magazine industry. I enjoy the writing style of this blog - you're not here just for the images.

NOTCOT.

Updated Oct 15, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

NOTCOT is a clearing house for design ideas. I'll quote below from their About description.

"NOTCOT Inc is a growing network of design sites currently including NOTCOT.com and innovative community contributed sites NOTCOT.org + TasteSpotting.com + NotCouture.com.

NOTCOT is a visual filtration of ideas + aesthetics + amusements. NOTCOT's two sites have become the daily sources of inspiration for creatives everywhere, fighting the good fight against "creative block" since 2005 with visually stunning imagery, the latest in international trends, and a passion for all things well designed.

NOTCOT.ORG is a community of creatives, design lovers, and trendsetters - where .org serves as the studio bulletin board gone digital - each image and caption brings you to a place worth visiting. It's about sharing what inspires you. Bookmarks, del.icio.us, digg, blogrolls, etc. make you read, search and think. This is the PICTUREBOOK to their novel. NOTCOT.COM is the editorial face of NOTCOT, offering in-depth features on products, artists, technology, innovation, and up-and-coming trends.

With the addition of TasteSpotting and NotCouture, what more could one need. TasteSpotting delivers the creme de la creme of delectable food and drink from our community of foodies. NotCouture keeps you looking your best, as users find the latest and greatest in fashion and beauty for men and women. (And don't be fooled, this is a designer's take on fashion, not just the usuals in every magazine you see)"

Apartment Therapy

Updated Oct 15, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Based on the idea that to create a good living space, you have to combine therapy with design, Apartment Therapy has created a movement as well as a constellation of blogs. Including, Apartment Therapy sites for NY, LA, Chicago, SF, as well as Kitchen, Nursery, Green and Tech, this is a behemoth of design.

A couple of times a year, people come together on the site to do "cures" which can range from a single room to an entire house.

The comment sections are replete with no-nonsense advice which can range from kind to cruel, so be warned.

The site focuses on small city living spaces but that doesn't mean that someone with a large house in the Midwest wouldn't find something interesting to read here.

Oh Joy!

Updated Oct 15, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Oh Joy, besides being an awesome design blog, is written by a fellow Philly person, yo! But if you're not in Philly, don't let that stop you from enjoying her exquisite taste in design because she posts about design across the country.

In the past year, she focused on weddings while preparing for her own and wrote about some lovely things; more recently, she posted a collection of Halloween-related products on ThisNext.

print & pattern

Updated Oct 15, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

I had no idea that patterns could be quite so neat to look at. Print and Pattern is pretty much eponymous, a collection of all sorts of prints and patterns. Definitely one of those blogs that you should take a look at because I'm not describing it well.

Decor8

Updated Oct 15, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Holly Becker's blog Decor8 is another of my favorites. I think reading her blog encouraged me to go rumbling through Etsy to find all sorts of marvelous things. Her Etsy Finds category is always full of neat stuff.

Recently enjoyable were her entries on a trip to Stockholm where she spent time in a lot of different shops and observed that Sweden does not have a tradition of "to the trade" only stores. Lots of incredible fabrics in bold and exciting prints.

She always has something interesting to say and interesting to look at.

I'm a sucker for diagrams and anything vaguely science or maths related. Liasynthus' work fits the bill. Deceptively simple prints, vague and dreamlike photographs. Many things that you'd like to hang on your walls.

Rare-Earth Magnets

Updated Apr 11, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

I've been noticing rare earth magnets popping up in all sorts of products - a magnetic strip to hang your knives on, a container that sticks to your fridge and doesn't fall down when you drop a pile of papers in it, and so on.

I now have a way to hang posters and prints on the metal walls of my new office. You can use them to hang a wreath on your front door or maybe even a curtain rod on your metal window frames (if they're susceptible to magnets).

Caution should be used with kids and pets around these magnets - if they swallow more than one, it can cause severe medical problems.
