There are times when I post things where I feel very, very late to the party. I feel this way about the fabrics from China Seas, which apparently everyone already knew were in existence and awesome. We’ve been looking at fabric every weekend. We drive up to Zimman’s in Lynn and paw through rows of […]

Next week, on Tuesday the 23rd, Nest is hosting an event for Proud Mary at the lingerie boutique, Journelle here in New York. I think this is an amazing group of women coming together – the fabulous Claire Chambers who run Journelle, Rebecca Kousky at Nest and Molly and Harper of Proud Mary, the company […]

I learned about Amy Helfand today via Apartment Therapy and fell in love with her carpets. Amy is originally from Chicago but now lives and works in Brooklyn. I love how topographical some of her works are – both her prints and her newer rug works. The one above is called Trail Runner and it’s […]

Last night I went to a Nest event being held near my office at a store called Matta. There I met many extraordinary women doing really amazing things – two of which operate A Peace Treaty, which currently produces beautiful scarves that are available through their site and at stores in the US and abroad.

Another fabulous female textile designer I learned about today is Carolina Irving who sort of reminds me of John Robshaw in her patterns but her touch is much lighter. Her Andaluz print is on 100% hemp and is hand-printed. Above is in Paprika, below is Lichen, which I also really like. It seems natural that […]

A great little stripe. Shall pattern – terrific. Very Sonia Delauney. A pillow selection. […]

While I’m partial to Dash and Albert for their sturdiness and cost-effective pricing I also love Madeline Weinrib’s rugs for their design and durability too. My friends Samantha and Leah have several of the pink Brooke rug in their apartment and it’s elegant while not being too loud for their space. As a huge fan […]

I’m a big fan of handprinted fabric. I’ve posted on Virginia Johnson here before but today I came upon an Etsy printer, HomeSweet, who is a blockprinting scientist – literally. Her Eyelet pattern above is simple and fresh! I love the varied green shades in her Leaf Weave pattern. Minileaves here – very Orla Kiely!

I recently got rid of the curtain in my kitchen and decided to make something more cheerful. The previous curtain was made out of Charlie Brown’s t-shirt…at least it seemed that way. The new curtain is out of a beautiful Virginia Johnson print, Teal Waffle, seen below. While I did have to call customs to […]

I have a few friends who have things that I covet – one of my friends, Abby, has the vast majority of those items. The most amazing part about her is that she just loves color and shapes and most importantly tradition – most of the time I can’t tell if she knows how precious […]
