DESIGN DARLING MAP PRINTS!!!

I am so, so, so excited to unveil the newest products on Design Darling because — drumroll, please! — we designed them ourselves! My mom had the idea to create bright, colorful, oversized, preppy maps of some of our favorite destinations as well as the places where lots of my customers live. I loved the idea, knowing I would hang the maps for Manhattan and Nantucket in my new apartment. We set to work finding a local artist who could do the map renderings and a local printer who could work with the colors I had in mind. Et voilĂ ! I am so proud of how they turned out, so grateful for my mom's encouragement along the way, and so excited to hear what you think! 


They are available either framed or unframed — the prints themselves are 12" x 18" and the frames make them 16" x 22", an ideal size for hanging over a console table, headboard, sofa, or workspace. Each piece makes a colorful statement and is a happy reminder of where you're from (or where you'd rather be!). I sincerely hope you love them as much as I do! Shop them all here and be sure to let me know your thoughts in the comments. Any votes on which city or state we should add next?!

TGIF. It's been a busy week around here and it's definitely not slowing down anytime soon. I'm headed to the National Stationery Show on Monday, have my first intern for the boutique starting on Wednesday, and will be out of town the following three weekends. Sooo this is my last weekend in New York for a little while and I plan to make the most of it by laying low in the park (Turkish towel in tow) and frequenting a couple of my favorite brunch spots. Whatever you're up to, make it a good one! xx
