Design*Sponge » Blog Archive » d*s in domino: holy smokes

when i received my november issue of domino i had to do a double take when i flipped to page 39. to see my own silly mug grinning back at me was definitely one of the most surreal moments of the past 4 years. d*s was featured as part of their story on design blogs- you can click here to read the full-sized text and here for a little site makeover before & after. i just wanted to say a big thank you to domino and to all of you reading, it’s such an honor to have this job and talk to you every day. i don’t want to bug anyone with too much talk about the article (i know that’s not what you’re here to read), so instead i just wanted to welcome any new readers from domino and give them a quick overview of what’s happening at d*s these days.

weekly content: in addition to (4-5) regular daily posts on great new products, shops and designers, we feature at least one original article per day. here is a quick breakdown of the schedule:

mondays: every monday we feature two “sneak peeks” into the homes of our favorite artists and designers. we try to focus on homes that are a good combination of inspiration and real-world attainability. click here to see the 170 homes we’ve featured so far.
tuesdays: every tuesday we feature a guide of some sort, whether it’s a product guide or a city guide. we currently have over 36 city guides, 47 product guides (desks, dining chairs, etc.), and 10 misc. guides like a guide to letterpress designers, gift guides and wedding registry ideas (just scroll down to the bottom of the page)
wednesdays: wednesdays are all about diy projects. our diy editors lauren and derek will post a fantastic new project on the site every wednesday at 1pm. click here for their archives
thursdays: thursdays are for before & after furniture and home makeovers
fridays: every friday we feature a recipe, called “in the kitchen with“, from one of our favorite designers or artists. click here to view the recipes we’ve featured over the past year and a half.

other content: d*s features a weekly guest blog (where we invite our favorite people to talk about their passions), a regularly updated job board (with listings for jobs and job seekers), podcasts, videos, and mini-trend roundups

I wanted to tell you how much I love your blog, I have discovered it only a few weeks ago and I went through all the pages! Its is part of my internet routine now to check every day for your new post. I really love the ideas, the pictures, congratulation!

Congrats! I believe your blog was the first I ever followed way back when I barely knew what a blog was.
I love your sunshine cinema poster to death! I did an hour internet hunt trying to find anyone who might be selling theirs, but came up empty handed.

Grace,

I also did a double take this weekend when I saw you in Domino, congratulations!!
I met you at the Seattle meet up and truly was inspired by all that you have accomplished in your young age. Thanks for inspiring us all every single day it is always a treat to read this amazing blog!

Grace-as usual you look beautiful in your media coverage! You are definitely blessed with being photogenic! Is it funny having your life’s work reduced to a few blurbs? I thought the caption over your living room picture was funny-something about having moved from your “IKEA” phase to Danish furniture-it made you sound like much more of a design neophyte-but we all know better!

It was great to get my copy this weekend and see you and your lovely home. It almost made up for the fact that Domino featured the insufferable Eddie from Top Design in the same issue.

I was wondering — David Hicks and Kelly Wearstler? I can’t say I would have predicted that (not that they aren’t both great, just that they don’t seem the most “you”).

Grace,
I’ve been reading (and getting inspired by) your website for 2 years now and I couldn’t think of a better, and more talented person to be getting all this great attention.

Congratulations!

As a reader of your blog and Domino for the past few years, I was very excited to see this. You look great (so does your ring!!! wish there was a closeup of that:)) and you totally deserve the recognition. Go girl!

Whenever people ask, “what’s your favorite blog?” I still say DESIGN SPONGE…You deserve to be the DOMINO MAG. centerfold :-) Congratulations! I look forward to my daily design sponge scoop- it inspires me every morning and I thank you!

It was a very well deserved feature! You have so much content, organization, and ideas here, and as a blogger myself, I know exactly how much work this all takes. You know what they say about hard work?! It pays off! You totally earned it.

I was introduced to your site through Domino a couple days ago. Consider me loyal already. How did I live without you before? And, I may “borrow” your tomato paint color to transform one of the walls in my bland kitchen. Beautiful!

G-
I skimmed through Domino on Sunday and finally started reading it last night, I exclaimed out loud “no way!” when I saw your mug in the mag. So proud to know you and be part of the *Sponge following. I truly admire you for doing what you do on a daily basis. You are a wonderful source of inspiration! Warm thoughts from Sunny San Francisco. -N

I’ve been away for a week and I’ve spent all morning catching up on my favorite blog (even though I should be doing a lot of other things :) Wow! CONGRATULATIONS! What a huge acknowledgement for all of your hard work. How exciting for you grace! It’s SO well deserved!
