...ugliest pillow contest: vote!
Thu, 09/20/2007 - 18:00 — Anonymousafter a few days of wading through everyone's ugliest pillow entries i feel like i need to take a shower. i saw some serious nastyness and some downright ugly pillows (why so many puppy pillows?). the top 10 finalists are now going public with their hidden shame and it's up to you guys to vote for who you think is the WORST. the winner will receive two brand new thomas paul pillows (of their choice) to replace their ugly one, courtesy of pillows and throws. each finalist is below so check them out and leave your vote (please use the numbers provided) in the comment section below. voting will close on friday morning at 9 am and the winner will be announced that afternoon. thanks to everyone who entered![Entry #1: Illeana][Entry #2: Rebecca]
sneak peek: office makeover
Fri, 09/21/2007 - 13:16 — Anonymousd*s reader cassie sent over some fantastic photos of what must be the world's coolest advertising agency. apparently the white walls and awful built-ins with imitation formica were killing the creative spirit so the agency decided that a make-over was in order. cassie's bosses gave each employee a $300 allowance (some used additional funds of their own) plus a new desk and new chair to redo their cubicles. cassie said that at first they thought it might end up looking like a carnival, but they all were pleasantly surprised. "now we each truly have our own space. and it is “almost” as pleasant as coming home. certainly defines our creativity, which in fact is our job.". i love this idea and the results are pretty impressive. you can click here for larger versions of these photos or scroll down to see some of the results. [thanks, cassie!]

...ugliest pillow winner(s)!
Fri, 09/21/2007 - 16:45 — Anonymouswell the results are in and after what has to be the most commented-on post i've ever done, the winner of the ugliest pillow contest is.....#3: phyllis! her fungus-filled craft project gone-wrong pillow was a landslide winner and she'll be receiving two brand new thomas paul pillows of her choice courtesy of pillows and throws.and, as a special surprise, thomas paul himself decided to offer up to pillows himself to replace his personal favorite, #9: karen. so both karen and phyllis will be freed from a life of ugly pillows. thanks so much to everyone to entered, voted and to pillows and throws and thomas paul for providing us with pretty pillows to replace these seriously ugly accessories.
...plum
Fri, 09/21/2007 - 17:43 — Anonymousi'm not a big brown, red and orange person so when fall comes around i always have a tough time adjusting to an autumnal color palette. but these colors seem like a nice compromise to me. i've been looking for fabric to upholster the bench at the foot of our bed and this palette seems rich and warm without being too much in the "fall leaves" direction. plus i'm a big fan of plum. you can pick up yardage of this fabric for $8.50 right here. [stay tuned for a new guide next!]
...american craft
Fri, 09/21/2007 - 18:30 — Anonymousfor me, this week's theme was all about "craft". wednesday night i attended the re-launch party for american craft magazine, followed by dinner at craftbar and then a lecture last night with rena tom and amy shaw at the american craft council library. former dwell editor andrew wagner is the new editor-in-chief of american craft magazine and has given the book a complete overhaul. i've spend the last two days pouring through the pages being pretty blown away by not only the gorgeous stories on artists and their studios but the little details like font choice, new page layouts (some of which reminded me of dwell) and their experimentation with cover flaps (when you turn the flap over, rather than an ad, there's a beautiful photo of the cover artist's work with a brief description and teaser for the story inside). some people at the party mentioned having an issue with the international craft coverage inside and the fact that a french a...
guide to mirrors + weekly wrap up
Fri, 09/21/2007 - 19:00 — Anonymousearlier this week i uploaded a guide to wall mirrors i've been working on for a few days. ac and i are looking for a mirror for our bedroom and i found some pretty spectacular (and affordable!) mirrors out there. the slideshow is grouped into categories like frameless, sunburst, etched, decorative frames, wooden and much more. this was one of my favorite slideshows i've done in a while- something about seeing all these beautiful mirrors together makes me really happy. one day when i can afford a big fancy mirror i'm definitely snagging this one. in the meantime, we went with this one. click here to check out the full slideshow and here to check out the rest of the guides i've done so far (lighting, budget lighting, desks, bedding, beds, dining chairs and sofas). i hope you all have a great weekend- i'll see you next week for the last full week of blogging on the old site (before we move to the new site)! below are highlights from this...
