English Botanical Pillows

Posted on | November 30, 2011 | 3 Comments

I’m a huge fan of Abigail Borg’s textiles and was overwhelmed when I opened a newsletter from her this morning. Holy cow beautiful, I adore her English style with a modern twist. The new Laburnum and Yarrow cushion covers are available in a light and dark colorway. The teal Yarrow pillow jumps off my screen; making me dream of my den renovation being complete and decorating with beautiful textiles.

Pillows made from vintage Welsh tapestry designed by Samuel Sparrow caught my eye at Terrain. I wish I had a sofa because I would buy up a pair in gray in a heartbeat. Sparrow & Co. based in Glasgow is a recently launched home collection with an “emphasis on unique, handmade products inspired by traditional crafting skills from countries including Morocco, Uzbekistan, Asia, Central America and Scotland”. I can’t wait to see more!

Overdyed Vintage Rugs

Posted on | September 9, 2011 | 14 Comments

Would you ever try dying a worn out vintage rug? Spotted on pinterest a few months ago a selection of overdyed rugs from Loom in Australia. At first, I thought the colors were too saturated. But the blue and pink could be really pretty tucked halfway under a bed or in a child’s room. So where would find such a rug to dye? I would search markets like Brimfield or ebay. And maybe try dying it with fabric dyes in a large tub outside. Could be really cool. Anyone tried it?

psst…here are more overdyed vintage rugs available at ABC (stateside) for inspiration: abccarpet.com.
