Seeing Red

I am in love with the Vitra store in the meatpacking district here in NY.  The red accents are right on trend and are a lovely way to brighten up the home- and just look at the adorable plywood elephants from their children' line- they are reproductions of a Charles & Ray Eames design from 1945.  The elephant theme seems to be everywhere (more on that later).  Last week I visited Printsource, a surface and textile show here in New York, and during the trend forecasting seminar the presenter talked about scarlet red as a continuing theme in home decor, as well as red objects for the home in curvy shapes like these lovely chairs.  The Panton chair was designed in the 60's by Danish designer Verner Panton and looks better than ever.  Red a color that energizes and warms...the perfect pick-me-up on a cold drizzly day!

How cool is this rug?

I love this rug by Lourdes Sanchez for West Elm.  Having worked with Lourdes over the years developing fabric collections for Timeless Treasures, I was excited to see her featured in the "Rugs By Artists" section of the new catalog.  Now I need to find a place in my home for one of these rugs...

Junebug

One of my favorite books for color inspiration these days is Liberty and Co. in the Fifties and Sixties.

I referenced it many times while I was working on my Junebug fabric collection.  I am partial to any design from the Sixties, and for me Liberty really takes the cake.  Visiting their store in London is one of my favorite things to do...it is truly an experience that satisfies the soul!

Bzzz

Halloween was a good one this year, Rowan was really excited to go trick-or-treating.  Once he figured out what it was all about, he was off and running.  Now he repeatedly says "ghost" and "boo".  I'm already thinking of ideas for next year's family theme!

Momo Owls

Liam models his new bib & shoes, made from fabric from my "Momo" collection for Timeless Treasures.  "Momo" means "Peach" in Japanese- he is my little peach, I could just eat those cheeks!
These adorable shoes & bibs are made by Burkeheart Baby and are available on Etsy.

Sunny Daze Cotton Canvas

I am so excited about my new Sunny Daze collection for Timeless Treasures, and now we are introducing some of the prints on cotton canvas.  These look great... I am picturing a beach tote or maybe some cool vintage chairs repainted and upholstered with this fabric, or even pot holders for a sunny kitchen!

Check out my friend Rachel's beautiful baby girl Coco hanging out on a quilt mom made from my new "Berkeley" collection!  This girl is all smiles.
