i got an email from mike at inhabit this week- inhabit debuted their wall flats tile system at icff to a huge success but i hadn’t got a chance to see the professional photos. now that they’re out i thought it’d be fun to share! inhabit’s wall flats are embossed tiles made of paper that you can cut and shape to size. just peel and stick them to your walls and you’ve got a fun decoration that can be removed (but not reused) when you’re done. if you’re a renter like me and are worried about too much clean up afterwards, mike suggests attaching the tiles with 3m’s super 77 glue. you can browse and shop the full collection right here. enjoy! [i have a meeting so i have to run. i'll be back tomorrow for a few special weekend posts. happy 4th!]

blu dot just launched two great new desks as part of their modulicious collection. the deskette and power desk are fun ways to bring that classic blu dot look to your home. you can choose from a number of colors for the powder coated steel doors and three different colored finishes for the wood. prices range from $1399-$1599. enjoy!

sally at georgie love emailed me this week and i was thrilled to find out about her fantastic e-commerce site that supports independent australian artists. georgie love is named after sally’s beautiful rescue pup, georgie and the site carries accessories, artwork, stationery and more. the prices are really reasonable and you can find some great indie finds for your home. georgie love ships overseas, so feel free to look around and see if anything suits your fancy (i loved the handmade jewelry holders). enjoy! [thanks, sally!]

i really can’t get enough of these colorful patterns this summer. i’m feeling the urge to reupholster practically everything i own with something colorful and summery. these two new fabrics at repro are fun and affordable: kleo and ava are both available for $8.50 a yard and would look great as pillows, used for funky roman shades or as upholstery for a bench, stool or maybe even a little breakfast nook. click here for more info. enjoy! [ps: i may be getting the grace chair, i'm so excited!]

rena just reminded me about this great company fetaured in blueprint (which i hear has lost an editor or two and isn’t doing well…). wren handmade is run by brooklyn based artist laura normandin (who lives in my neighborhood!)- normandin designs gorgeous handmade pillows, hairpins and accessories that are perfect for adding a nice handmade touch to your home. normandin has been the craft editor at martha stewart living for 8 years, so you know she knows her stuff. you can click here for more info on wren handmade and laura normandin. [hooray for fantastic local artists!]

this past tuesday i was lucky enough to sit down with both lena corwin and rena tom for special dual d*s podcast. lena was gracious enough to invite us to her (beautiful) home in fort greene to conduct the interview (thanks, lena!). it was extremely exciting for me to get two of my favorite brooklyn artists into one room to talk about their work, the design industry and their dream projects. want to know what lena and rena have in their homes, what lena’s new project is and why rena decided to start a shop for independent designers? CLICK HERE to find out and listen to the dual lena and rena podcast! and don’t forget to sign up for the d*s newsletter (going out this weekend) for an exclusive 10 minute extended interview with rena and lena. enjoy!
