i’ve always loved apartment therapy’s flickr photo section and thought it would be great to incorporate a similar idea into d*s- but with a little twist. i’m someone who clips magazine pages, takes camera photos and is always copying little pictures and filing them away for inspiration- so i thought this might be a great way for us to all share inspiration photos with each other. did you see a fabulous floral display in a shop window on the way to work? snap a photo and send it to d*s and i’ll put it up with a description and your name (or no name if you prefer). whether you’re inspired by a sunset, beautiful dinner plating or a great rug you saw at the office, send your d*s design shot right here and you’ll see it to the left in our communal flick gallery! what a fun way to share inspiration across the globe with everyone! have fun and send away!

d*s reader boris (no comma!) and i are trying to figure out who makes this wallpaper. it’s on the tip of my tongue and i know i should know, but i don’t. i though it was cole and son but no dice. anyone know? this shot is from west elm. thanks!

i have a huge crush on judy ross and her gorgeous textiles. from runners to pillows and rugs, this nyc designer has you covered. these new pillows are available at 2modern and greenergrassdesign for $188 a piece (not a budget buy, but a wonderful splurge!) and come in a wide range of patterns and wonderfully saturated colors. click here and here for the whole shabang. so, so lovely. enjoy! see you tommorrow. xo, d*s

d*s reader, janet passed this on- too funny: a modern dumbbell for the design-savvy exerciser. it doesn’t seem to be carried in the states, but i’ll update when i find purchase info for the states (doesn’t seem to be at their us rep’s store). [thanks, janet!]

forgot to add my personal favorite (sorry, forgot i said i would!): my favorite would be benjamin moore: chelsea gray. had it in my old bedroom and it’s fabulous. dark grey in certain lights, blue in others (see ny times shot). so subtle with just the right amount of subtle green undertone. yum.

d*s reader, kristen just bought this for her tv and thought you guys might like it, too! detour dvd is a collection of “motion graphics” that are basically slow moving dvds that play purely visual “tracks” which can be programmed to loop or play at random. sort of like a screensaver, but a bit more design-y. you can choose from four patterns: op-art, wallflowers 1 and 2 and modular moves (the wallflowers are my fav). each dvd costs $24.95 and you can purchase right here (wallflowers 2 is slightly delayed, you can email them for more info on release date). enjoy! [thanks, kristen!]

d*s reader, jason (not the same jason) passed along his bud jason lewis’s furniture for us to check out. lewis works with beautiful woods to create classic, solid furniture that reminds me of some of the danish modern pieces that you see floating around antique shops in new york sometimes. lewis also produces custom furniture, but his ready to buy designs (tables, chairs and storage) are available for around $1000-$1500 a piece. click here for the full selection. [thanks, jason!]
