Design Folder: Your Online Design and Decorating Resource

july daily reads

Whenever I’m hit by the Procrastinating Bug, I go find something inspiring to bring me back to my working, thinking, designing mode. For this purpose, my flickr contacts have been very helpful.

This July, instead of design blogs, we are featuring six Flickr Photostreams for df’s Daily Reads. These are from my flickr contact list that are packed with photos which will surely encourage you to create, decorate, and make something beautiful for your space.

Here’s a quick preview of our July list:

day in the studio from artpropelled,

tilly & tommy elephants from retro_mama,

one of those moments from penwren,

my helper from fallon akers,

my studio from dottie angel,

and black wall from the happy home

Enjoy! -ardel

monthly reads

Some of you may have noticed that, early this month, we added a new “folder” down our left sidebar called Daily Reads. The section is a list of five blogs handpicked by Ana to add to our regular dose of inspiration and ideas.

Before we change to a new list, here’s a roundup of our favorite posts from April’s Daily Reads:

Posters made into wallpaper (image above) from At Hanna.

Woven crafts using paper plates from Fine Little Day.

City prints by Spanish artist Blanca Gomez from A Cup of Jo.

A muted grey-and-blue table setting from Busy Bee’s Blog.

Starbuck’s coffee grounds used as a compost fertilizer from Always Saturday.

Watch out for Ana’s May reads on Monday.

Have a happy weekend!
