It’s no surprise how much we love our Pulp Home Starburst Pulls but it’s also clear that a lot of you do, too! Because when we put out the call to share how you live with your Pulp Home pieces (using hashtag #PulpAtHome) what did we get? More Starburst Pulls pics! And why wouldn’t we? I mean, look how they add just the perfect flourish to the clean, simple lines of our #UniversityHeights client’s nightstands! Don’t you agree?
We love seeing how our clients live with their Pulp Home wares. Share how you’ve used goods from our shop! Feel free to email us or tag us on social media using hashtag #PulpAtHome where we share people using our products or using the spaces we designed.
At Pulp Design Studios, we are nearing completion of a whole-home renovation in Dallas’ prestigious Highland Park Neighborhood. We just had to pop in to show you just a bit of what to expect from this project that we’ve had such an amazing time working on…
We took our client’s contemporary inclination and completed a successful renovation that will blow you away when we share the before and after photos. We’ve layered on subtle patterns and textures to create a warmth rarely seen in contemporary spaces. We are so excited to share this gorgeous and functional space with you when all is said and done, but we couldn’t resist the tease of these peeks from the latest installation.
Stay tuned… there is much much more to come from this project!
If you have a space you’d love to get the ‘Pulp treatment’, give us a shout and tell us about your project!
You might remember my post titled “Postcards from an aspiring mixologist…”? It seems my journey in learning about the art of the cocktail generated quite a bit of interest! And then something funny happened… I got pregnant. Well, after a bit of a boozing hiatus, I am gearing up to join the cocktail-ing world again!
What are bitters? Bitters are a spirit based botanical-infused liquors used in cocktails as an aperitif or digestif. You can actually concoct different infusions for different digestion purposes.
Since bitters making is quite the timely process (about 3 weeks) and with the holidays coming, I thought a little re-visit into making bitters was in order. Not only will they be done in time for a delicious cocktail after my little bundle of joy arrives, but they also make a great gift for friends and family who love a good drink as much as you do…
So, rather than head to the bar, enjoy your home this holiday season (hopefully it’s Pulp-designed) and mix up some cocktails in style! Here’s a peek into the bitters making process, complete with a printable recipe…
A view into the first step of making your own bitters… combined aromatic bitters and booze.
Just after step 2 in the process, where you separate the solids from the liquid. My homemade simple syrup and both parts of the bitters are waiting to be introduced to each other.
Completed homemade bitters just waiting to be gifted to my cocktail-loving friends.
As you can see, bitters making is quite the process. Though it takes a few weeks to make, it really is a pretty easy process! Don’t let it overwhelm you and just give it a try… Once you’ve done it once, you’ll feel like quite the accomplished mixologist.

Great Gift Idea: Pair your homemade bitters with a stylish cocktail shaker or gorgeous decanter and you’ve created a gift that you’ve really put some love into.
Cheers and enjoy! xx
We love seeing how AJ Cosgrove of Barbara Cosgrove Lighting + Lifestyle (one of our favorite trade sources) used a pair of our Pulp Home Starburst Pulls as decorative door hardware! Jewelry for the home! And gorgeous, if we do say so ourselves.
If you’ve been following us on Instagram, you may have seen some sneak peeks we’ve been posting of our #QueenAnneCraftsman project in Seattle… As promised, we’re popping into the blog to share some snapshots from a recent partial installation of the First Floor. We’ve taken our client’s penchant for modern nautical style and translated it into a pattern-filled, subtly stylish, space that plays off of texture and contrast.
We can’t wait to complete this project and share the rest! But, for now, here’s what Pulp Design Studios has dreamed up so far…
Customized striped chairs from Bernhardt and reimagined by Pulp Design Studios using custom and cleanable trade fabrics and create a modern nautical feel that will stand up to this family’s use.
Pulp designers add personal touches with a hoofed side table and graphic rug.
Tonal graphic wall covering and a sculptural fixture set a modern tone in the dining room.
A Pulp-customized bench with designer fabrics and hand-selected stools make the perfect perch in the Entry to greet guests.
Pulp Design Studios designers added in a pop of orange with custom powder coated barstools and added contrasting black industrial-chic light fixtures for a personal touch to the monochromatic Carrera marble-clad kitchen.
A custom designed computer bench adds another touch of color and pattern to this kitchen, which is geared towards family-friendly living.
And, we just can’t get enough of this Powder Bath… covered to the max with Abnormals Anonymous Mr Blow wallcovering and accented with a new crystal droplet chandelier.
We’re not near complete, but the stage is set for additional layers of lighting, art, and accessories that will make this home unique and perfectly curated to suit the needs of our homeowners.

It hardly seems possible that Halloween is behind us and now the 2013 holiday countdown is on! It won’t be long before the party invites start rolling out and, in addition to playing the hospitable hostess, we want to do our part as the gracious guest. To ensure that your name stays at the top of the best guest lists, we’re rounding up our top 5 hostess gifts.
1.) Flowers are a lovely go-to gift but don’t burden your hostess with floral arranging when she’s in the throws of cocktail making. Bring a ready-to-go arrangement in Pulp Home’s Venus Tall Vase and show off your style and thoughtfulness. 2.) Morris Kitchen’s Trio of Seasonal Syrups are an amazing addition to the bar! Perfect in cocktails, boosting up some bubbly, or mixed with soda or tonic for a nifty non-alcoholic option. 3.) The Iacoli & McAllister Hex Opener is a sleek and simple way to say ‘thank you’. 4.) Add to your hostess’ entertaining arsenal with the Glacier Ball which creates a slow-melting ball of ice and prevents watered down drinks. 5.) Agate Platters with Gold Leaf Edge will add a serious dose of glamor to any spread.
Good design isn’t just about pretty things. It’s also about function and flow and how we live and work in our spaces. When all of those elements come thoughtfully and creatively together it makes for an inspired lifestyle or what we call “Splendid Living”.
This week has me inspired by the colors of autumn and thoughts of the coming holiday season. Our Citron Scaled Embroidered Pillow embodies the richness of fall but with a fresh contemporary style. It’s graphic, curved lines and golden tones made me think of a beautifully stacked crate of fresh pears and, as luck would have it, this delicious Spiced Pear Cocktail to refresh ourselves after a riotous night of trick or treating!
Cheers to a wonderful weekend!

With our Modern Nursery Giveaway ending at midnight tonight, I thought I’d pop in to share a bit of the inspiration behind our nursery design that Pulp Design Studios created!
Since this is a nationwide giveaway, we wanted to be sure to make the nursery gender neutral. Yet, we wanted a crisp modern edge to the look… gone are the days when ‘gender neutral’ calls for the color yellow! When we partnered with Abnormals Anonymous, we were immediately drawn to their ‘Spot’ wallcovering in ‘bone thugs & harmony’! It was monochromatic and modern, but still had a soft edge.
We played off of the giraffe spots and monotones with a modern geometric from Studio Bon Textiles, an amazing textile studio based in Dallas. The ‘Queen B’ pattern in ‘dove’ was the perfect pairing for this wallcovering and to cover the seat of our infamous ‘Pulp’ chair.
From there we layered the look using furniture from Tottini‘s modern array kid and baby options. And, of course, we added some serious panache with goods and accessories from Pulp Home.
The entire look gives you a modern aesthetic that could work for a girl or a boy! But, either way, this look is setting the bar for a lifetime of style for the wee inhabitant that wins this look.
But, here’s how this all applies to you…
This Modern Nursery Giveaway, worth over $6,000, ends tonight, October 23rd, at Midnight!
ENTER TO WIN THIS ENTIRE NURSERY HERE!!
If you’re in Seattle, come join us at Tottini tomorrow night, October 24th from 6-8pm, for our Modern Nursery Giveaway Party to see the nursery in person & find out who the winner is… I’ll be there, so come say ‘Hello’!
If you want a nursery, kids room, or really any space designed with the same stylish panache as this nursery, but created just for you and your needs we’d love to hear more!

I’ve had my eye on the Fossil Chair by Oly Studio. It is subtle enough to make you take a second look and would give any room in your home little spark! Enjoy this spooky cocktail in your Fossil chair while passing out candy this Halloween and try not to eat all of the Reese’s!
Cheers!
