Green and Red Suzani Coverlet

suzani quilt green Green and Red Suzani Coverlet

Last night I spotted this suzani coverlet on uzbek-craft.com. I love the green with the red accents. Maybe for my bedroom? Is it too much pattern? Images of the coverlet folded up at the bottom of my bed appeared in my dreams all night. If I love something this much I should just buy it, right?

I have two sides of my decorating personality: rustic/minimal vs. floral patterns covering every inch. I need to find a way for these too styles to reconcile. Colorful floral textiles are like crack that make me forget all my plans and click “buy it now” without even a thinking twice of the consciousness. Check out more suzani pillows and coverlets on uzbek-craft.com.

Beautiful wool blankets ($185) and ticking stripe tablecloths ($70) from Brook Farm General Store are irresistible. Muted shades mix well with modern and traditional interiors. I’m pretty in love with the wool blankets. I think I’ve replaced my pillow obsession with blankets and throws. Check out more finds at brookfarmgeneralstore.com.

Golden Seagrass In The Fall

A few more photos from my Sunday afternoon in New England. Along the northern coast of Massachusetts are beautiful inlets you can hike and drive around. As the leaves on the shores turn vibrant reds the seagrass in the marshes turn into a sea of gold. It’s one my favorite things to see in the fall. The shots above and below where taken in Ipswich. The glow of the grass is unreal. It seriously looks like this in the afternoon…no photoshop tricks. The texture of the grass reminds me of a lion’s mane. Check out the location on google maps to investigate the inlets.
