We’re looking for some hot design in action, also known as D.I.A. Email us a photo of design in your home and get $10 off your next order. In addition, if your photo includes you or a friend in the shot you’ll be entered to win a monthly drawing for a $200 gift certificate. If you have a camera on your phone, there’s really no excuse not to do this; we’re not going to critique you on composition, color or cleanliness, I promise! Here are five D.I.A. shots that caught my eye this week.
Thanks to Cindy for sharing this photo of 2 Hybrid Home Limited Edition Large Print Visible Ghosts. They look especially snazzy against that dark wall:

From the awesome photograph adorable baby files, thanks to Christy for posting this picture of the Flensted Mobiles Rollephant Mobile. If I were them, I’d be begging Christy for this picture for a future catalog:

Thanks to Joe for putting his Inhabit Current Organic Throw in Orange into fashion action mode. Lookin’ good Joe!:

I am loving this cutie living large in Fatboy Junior. It’s rather genius to use this modern beanbag to make your sofa more kiddo-friendly and fun. Thanks to Laura for sending this in; I love the way the socks and the book go with the color of the Fatboy!

I love the serene and sophisticated bedroom sent in by Robert Bernard. Underfoot there’s a lovely rug that adds a big pattern to the room without overwhelming it. It’s a perfect use of DwellStudio’s Home Gate Rug in Ash and Cream:

Thanks to everyone who shared their D.I.A.!

Since it’s a day when most of the world’s attention is on England, I thought I’d pull out this collage we put together around the…

This week on Polyvore I went to an old inspiration board and started thinking about how to apply it to a dorm room. Granted, you might not have the budget for all of this stuff, or you may be moving in somewhere that comes complete with a desk, lamp, and shelves, but hey, it’s fun to play in Polyvore and wish I were headed off to be a first year all over again. We’re going to keep giving you some inspiration and ideas from now until school starts.

While I’m thankful that our forefathers got rid of those pesky British taxes that didn’t have representation and all, I am always a sucker for a Union Jack. I think my favorite use of it lately was the quilts featured on Man Shops World by Becky Oldfield. Here are a few more dreamy shots of the U.K.’s flag I’ve been collecting lately:
