Brahms Mount Textiles

Posted on | December 29, 2009 | 8 Comments

I’m a huge fan of Brahms Mount blankets & throws. I was excited to see their website has recently been updated. They have a great new video showing the history behind the company as well as how the textiles are constructed. Above and below just of few of the blankets, throws, and linens Brahms Mount manufactures out of their Hallowell, Maine studio. I’m adding their studio to my Maine road trip list for next summer. Check out more designs on their website: brahmsmount.com

Long Bench At Kitchen Table

Posted on | December 28, 2009 | 12 Comments

I have hundreds of photos in my inspiration folder. I think I should start sharing them! I love this idea of using an old wood bench as additional setting in a kitchen. When I was kid we had this same exact bench but it was painted green. The image is from Swans Island creative director’s home in Rockport, Maine. Discovered via design*sponge.

Knitting A Pouf

Posted on | December 28, 2009 | 6 Comments

Here’s a fun project for those of you who have the week off. Why not try knitting up a pouf? Inspired by Christien Meindertsma’s Flocks Pouf (below) I found a link to make similar knitted poufs last night on Apartment Therapy. Pickles has shared online patterns for different sized poufs including knitted and crochets versions. Pickles version (above) is a variation of knit and purl. I kinda like it in just knit and that’s the only stitch I have in my knitting vocabulary at the moment. So cute for a kid-friendly home. Find the patterns and inspiration on pickles.no. Need more inspiration? Check out these crocheted poufs I found last winter, click here.
