Good Schmutz vol. 17: Design Things I've Found & Loved

Martini jewelry, tiled shelves, fanciful wallpaper, and more!

Here we are, folks! Another run of Good Schmutz, my roundup of design things I think are cool/beautiful/at least worth knowing about. Shall we get started?

#1: Lovely new wallpaper source alert: CommonRoom. UK-based, delivers to the States, inspired by William Morris, but far more modern/playful.

#2: Shameless plug, but FYI if you haven’t heard, I’ve spent hours creating specific shopping guides. Bookmark them anytime you’re searching…but don’t want to (Google) search.

#3: New addition to my tile guide: Tilecito. (Female-founded biz!) And specifically their tile shelves. Great for a kids’ bath! Great for your bath! Great for any wall at all!

#4: My friend, the lovely Lazy Jamie (who is not at all lazy) just launched her new “ladies who lunch serving set.” A reasonable $82 for making your salad look like a work of art. cc: jamie at lazy jamie

#5: Trending this month on IG: Dabito’s New Orleans kitchen. I’m very into this post where he breaks down the entire cost of the reno. I also appreciate him breaking out the gifted/sponsored costs which so many decorator-influencers just pretend doesn’t exist.

#6: Two interesting design fair updates. Alcova is coming to Mexico City for the city’s 2027 Art Week. And Morocco is launching a two-day design event in Casablanca this fall. PRs: Send me to either/both!
