Tres Chic Trays

March 9th, 2010

Trays are an essential accessory in my opinion.  They can be used as a purely decorative piece, or to organize your magazines, your high-tech gadgets, your perfumes or to bring the iced tea out to the patio.  Here are the daily d’s tray picks of the day.

NYC-based John Willey is best known for his creative use of color.  He has the ability to transform a typical box room into a space to envy!  His beautiful color selections remind me of spring.

What's on your mind?

One way to get design inspiration is to pull colors from nature.  With the start of spring this month, the pansy will begin to take center stage. This pansy has many shades of violet which is a hot color this spring. Here is today’s inspiration from nature.

4.  Etsy-Tanner Glass  5.  Etsy-The Near Future  6.  Design Your Walls-Chinoise Lavendar  7.  Graham And Green

Not Your Grandma’s Quilt

February 26th, 2010

As we bunker down for day two of the latest snowstorm to hit our area (it’s been snowing since the wee hours of Thursday morning), there is not much to do except snuggle up by the fire with my favorite quilt, my pile of mags and a Diet Coke.  I have noticed that modern design has infiltrated the quilt world.  Whether hung as artwork, placed on the bed or used to snuggle on the couch quilts can bring warmth & style into our home.  There are some really cute & stylish quilts that I would love to get my hands on.  Here are a few of the daily d’s favorites…
