I just found this online shop last week (via decor8) and I thought I’d share some pretties.
First – I love these velvet bags and pouches:
Adorable.
Some other favorites include…
This soap (which I once bought for my Mom):
This box of ribbons:
These lanters…
…and THESE (they float into the sky – amazing):
For more visit Cox & Cox.
Come see some gorgeous textile layouts for Harlequin Fabric at Style Key West today!
Just a little Monday morning eye candy…
I just love these table settings that Cassandra of coco+kelly put together for Anthropologie.
Have a favorite? Let her know.
In light of her new responsibilities with that dream job, she’s looking for some regular contributors for coco+kelly. My darling Christy sent me a link suggesting I apply, but honestly, I don’t think I have the time or the design talent that would be required. Do you? Check it out.
I just love Tara Badcock’s work. She’s a textiles artist based in Tasmania, Australia, well known for her beautiful, detailed free-style and hand embroidery:
She has an Etsy shop, and you can also buy some products online at Georgie Love. Read more about this artist and her work on her blog, The Teacozy Revolution, her Flickr photstream, and her website (currently under construction), paristasmania.com.
What makes them interesting?
It has nothing to do with design, color or literary taste… While all of that can be taken into consideration – the amazing thing about these images is that they are PAINTINGS!
I’m serious.
Brilliant.
Find more of Victoria Reichelt’s work HERE.
Another artist found via Brabourne Farm today…
First up – Sophie Dunlop. I love her still life paintings (and pastels and etchings…)
Here are a few of my favorites:
Blue color stories…fine china…beautiful textiles… This work covers pretty much everything I love.
In searching the archives at Brabourne Farm for a specific image, I found several posts on artists that I just loved.
Penny Graham’s paintings of interiors (and exteriors) are charming:
I could sit and stare at these for long stretches of time – drinking in the detail of the textiles and textures. And the soothing colors make me want to stretch out on one of her couches with a book.
I’ll post my other favorite discoveries via Brabourne Farm this week.
As you may already know – I’m a big fan of Michelle Moorland’s room renderings over at A Schmatic Life.
But this one may be my favorite:
I’ve never much liked baths…always thought it felt like sitting in soup…but for this bathroom, I might change my mind.
Speaking of beautiful wallpaper…
I am in love with the powder room redo sighted on Odi et Amo last week.
It features several of my favorites: chinoiserie, blue and white AND Annechovie:
Great inspiration for wallpaper in small spaces.
I am FAR behind in lining up posts for this week due to an outrageous amount of time I spent looking at Fromental wallpaper online yesterday.
I found this company via Brooke at Fabulous Doodles (a super fun fashion illustration blog if you are into that kind of thing – and if you’re here, I assume you are…) She raved about the display she saw at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show and I was intrigued.
So 24 hours and a Google reader exploding with 1000+ unread posts later… I thought I’d justify the time I spent on the Fromental website by inundating you with pretty pictures.
This London based company opened their doors in 2005 with a mission to “to create the world’s most beautiful wallpapers.” They call their hand-painted and embroidered designs “couture for your walls.”
I couldn’t agree more…
This Carousel design would be adorable for a Park Avenue nursery, don’t you think?
I don’t know which colorway I like best. But I’m in love with that zebra.
And now I guess I should go catch up on all of those unread posts in my reader…or feed the children or something… It’s Spring Break for Fairfax County public schools – and even with Oliver only going to half day preschool this year, it’s going to be a looooong week.
