Design Hole Is Being Updated
I haven’t disappeared! My site is being updated, so while my web gurus are busy, I won’t be posting. I’ll see you next week!
Decorating With Wallpaper Remnants
I read a great post over at Apartment Therapy about ideas for using extra wallpaper. I thought you would enjoy reading it yourself. Just follow this link. Now that the kids are either back in school, or on their way shortly, we might have an extra moment to squeeze in a Read More…
Tuesday Morning Review: RoomJuice, An Online Interior Design Service
When I received an announcement about a new design service called RoomJuice, I couldn’t resist the chance to take their service for a test drive. Fortunately, they graciously agreed to show off their design prowess, gratis, using the same room as another online service used in a previous review. RoomJuice is owned by designers Susie Case and Kristen Alagna. They offer four design packages, starting with an accessory makeover for $49 and ending with an entire room design for $199. You take measurements and photos, they put together a design using your things plus items available online. Read More…
On Vacation
I’m on vacation this week. I’ll be with digging my toes in the sand with some girlfriends on the island of Sunset Beach, NC. This photo is of the old swinging bridge that takes you on and off the island. It’s lovely! I’ll see you back on Monday.
The Winner Is…
Thanks to everyone for entering this fab giveaway. And thanks to Roxy for sponsoring it. And now, without further ado, the winner is….
Rosemarie!
Congratulations! Yay! I’ll have this wonderful (and groovy) room in a bag zipping its way to you in the next couple of days.
And now that I have you attention for a moment…
I wonder if you can help me out with some giveaway advice. I’m always looking for ways to make a giveaway more interesting than just leaving a comment. I think the idea of “liking” DH on Facebook was a bust. At least for me. But I thank everyone who did. I had seen others do it and thought I’d give it a try. But I’m not that interested in pimping my Facebook page. It felt awkward. So none of that.
I used to do quizzes. They’re not difficult to figure out and I give hints through-out the week to make it fun. I’d love to know your thoughts. What would you like to see other than simply “enter here”?
Boho Dorm Room: An Eclectic Mix Of Total Grooviness
We’re back in our sad dorm room and my first alma mater, Goucher College. While the education is excellent, the furnishings are not. Not fab at all. But we’re happy that we’re livin’ single. We can express our individual, artistic style without having to negotiate with our former roommate, Thumper and her boyfriend, Blair Noel Hunter Cochrane.
Let’s see what we can do with this room, shall we? Read More…
What Would You Do With This Window?
I received a note from Elisa asking for guidance on a treatment for this window. Privacy isn’t an issue, but the sunlight in the morning is driving her husband crazy! As I am a person who likes to sleep in now and then, I feel his pain. Read More…
Dorm Room Essentials
Headed off to college? Reaching for the hankies because your child has left the nest? Here’s are a few dorm room essentials that may have been left behind. They offer the perfect excuse to reconnect before classes get underway – even if it’s just through the mail. Care packages are always welcome. Read More…

Saul Steinberg Fabrics & Wallpapers From Schumacher
A few years ago I wrote a post about several reissued fabric and wallpaper designs created by Saul Steinberg for Schumacher. I have been getting quite a few emails requesting updated pricing for the four designs, so I thought I’d write a new post with the details. If this style looks familiar, it’s probably because
