The Wonder Trend: We’re all mad here.

If you want to trend-up your visual merchandising, events or your brand's social media environment in 2013, think Wonderland. The Lewis Carroll storybook is getting a new life this year in the form of books, television, theater, fashion, home goods, video games and even celebrity birthday parties. If you haven't already you'll soon be seeing …

Yes. What Country Floors said, @lbjasper and @workshopapd #repost • @country_floors Superb design firm Workshop APD knows that no one is an island. (Good thing, as we’d be hard pressed to be as sleek and chic an island as the one they’ve designed here!). We agree. Sharing is beautiful. Working together as one is the best! We wish to express our gratitude to @workshopapd and their universally beloved marketing guru @lbjasper for their selfless and generous idea and action to create a simple, free, shareable, industry-wide trade resource status list for designers! We know many of your projects go on and most of us are blessed to be able to help you just as before, just maybe with a process adjustment to put safety first. Now you can easily find who’s offering what right now. And we’d like to thank all the design industry pr and marketing agencies for working so rapidly together today to get as many brands, artisans and makers up on the list as possible. We’re very excited (though not at all surprised) to see our industry pulling together, and so honored to be a part of such unity. Designers, you can access the document which is an open source google spreadsheet. Artisans and makers, you can add your real time info! We expect you’ll see more and more resources there in the coming days. Link in bio. . Designers, colleagues, partners, we’re at your service. Please keep letting us know how we can help! . 📸: #workshopapd . #designstandstogether #inthistogether #designindustry #interiordesign #residentialdesign #commercialdesign
Love this challenge! Repost @michaeltavano Thanks to friends @joymoylerinteriors @claudiajuestel and @designeditstyle for challenging me - here’s our coffee table, which is a furry ottoman topped with an enormous silver tray I picked up in India some years ago. Right now it has on it a lot of sunny yellow things to lift spirits, including a little Art Deco era ceramic bowl on a modern black lacquer Liaigre pedestal, and a mid century blown glass decanter. Touches of gold include a favorite book on Salvador Dali and a little 24k gold salamander with emerald eyes, tucked into a white orchid as a little surprise treat when you come close. The birds are remnants from an old Twitter-themed DIFFA table. I hauled them out this past weekend and “put a bird on it” in tribute to Oregon for their loan to New York State of 140 ventilators. And, of course, as a token of the gratitude that @stonemill294 and I feel for spending these weeks of solitude at our beloved Flying Pig Acres, a treasured copy of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse.” 😊 I challenge @designerjamiedrake @marksandfrantz @louisnavarrete @hadleykeller @pamelajaccarino @tootiethetightropewalker @janmacbrands and @theantiquesdiva - and anybody else who wants to have a bit of fun! . #coffeetablechallenge #designstandstogether #thankyouoregon #putabirdonit #stayhomeclub #blackwhiteyellow #livingroomsofinstagram #flyingpigacres
First, a spectacular coastline. Then crazy, weird, wonderful put-a-bird-on-it Portland. Then really delicious Pinot Noirs. Now, Oregon is literally saving our lives. Governor Kate Brown is a hero. Oregon, NEW YORK THANKS YOU!! And we will be here for you when you need us, first we’ll send medical supplies when you need them and then we’ll welcome you to our city with its insanely tall buildings, bicycles for rent (we know you like those) and your kindred spirits, the @unsqgreenmarket and, yes, #brooklyn ! JK, #oregon we tease because we ❤️❤️❤️!!! . . . . 📸s: @oregongovbrown Twitter, @dlawphotos @noroester . #portlandia #oregoncoast #nycstrong #inthistogether #stayhomesavelives #lovewins #governorandrewcuomo
Well, wow @apple - we here in #nyc thank you for the masks! 1.9 million masks is a lot of masks. With more to follow. Nicely done. Today, you make us proud to bear the name Mac. And @andrewcuomo - words fail us. ❤️ Much love, #janmacbrands . . #saveourfrontliners #inthistogether #brandsthatcare #nycstrong #designstandstogether
Repost: @michaeltavano Join me live here at noon for a conversation with @nyc_flowermarket and be sure to go to the market’s go fund me page - link below. We’re going to need flowers more than ever on the flip side. Posted @withregram • @nyc_flowermarket The beauty of the city through the beauty of flowers. The @nyc_flowermarket is such a magical place - where you can see the beauty of nature against the grit of the city.

Our friend Tyler Wisler AKA @nydesignguy did the loveliest thing and we just have to share it!!! Big virtual hugs to all! ❤️❤️❤️
What did you end up with too much of? My friend @tootiethetightropewalker inexplicably has 17 bunches of bananas - 17 🍌! I have about 2 gallons of @gradyscoldbrew coffee concentrate as well as 3 boxes of @lacolombecoffee beans - so enough coffee for at least 10 weeks - and 12 weeks supply of @PrettyLitter for Bob Cratchit, pictured here thinking “I don’t see what the big deal is?!” Right, because he didn’t have to carry 50 pounds of ground silica up the stairs and find a place to store it in the New York apartment. I confess One sleepless night I asked myself “if they lock down NYC what household item would it be tragic to run out of?” Answer: kitty litter. And in the midst of global TP mania I figured everybody with a cat would also suddenly realize they would need kitty litter too. That apparently did not happen. Oh, well, unlike bananas it won’t go bad so Bob and I will use it meow or later. So, what did you miscalculate?
It’s all too dreadful. I know we have to cancel about 100 things, bum out dozens of vendors and collaborators and find innovative new digital ways to keep business hopping - but quick, let’s look at this pretty flower together. Or a crazy cat meme, or anything other than the Covid19 map. Oh, and let’s remind people we love that we love them. Let’s remind each other that whatever may or may not happen, money is not the measure of a person. Never was. Let’s reach out to a friend in Italy who can’t leave the house. Oh, yes, and in between all of that, we’ll wash our hands. . . #designstandstogether #onewithitaly . . Flower image by @mimosaboston - thank you. Ranunculus are my favorite.
