things to come (part II)

ds peeks

things have been crazy at d*s lately and i wanted to thank all of you for your support, emails and tolerance of the numerous coding snags we’ve had trying to get the new site up (my coder and designer are saints for putting up with me through this). i’m talking with another coder tomorrow morning to try and get this thing up and running, so in the meantime, i wanted to give you a sneak peek into what’s coming on monday (new look or not):

  • d*s mini trends!: this little sponge likes to window shop new trends, so why not share my finds with everyone? this column will be a weekly look into micro trends cropping up in the industry and examples (with links!) of how to bring each look into your home. the first trend article will set sail next monday…
  • sponged!: links to the latest and greatest on the design world (including magazine, newspaper and design articles that are must reads for the week)
  • ask d*s!: i get so many emails during the day asking for shopping suggestions, so i’m going to share the results with readers twice a week so we can all benefit from a little spongey research
  • d*s reader recs!: you guys know your stuff so now d*s readers can take advantage of our design savvy audience by sending in a picture of their own home for advice on paint colors, furniture arranging, furniture, etc. send in YOUR photo now for next week (subject: reader rec)! once or twice a week depending on demand)

see you monday! xo, d*s

nice to see you were able to refresh your site with a custom design!

I have an idea for you.
check out this site: http://typographi.com/

if you refresh the page, you’ll see the banner at the top switches… they’re submitted by different designers.

thought that might be fun for design sponge to do too… you have the right audience to get some really good results.
