Linen bedding..

 

I have been a huge fan of linen bedding for a long while now.  I simply love the softness of the sheets and the crumpled relaxed look of the fabric on the bed.  At first I was all about the natural color and now I am infatuated with the dark greys and the white.  This is what my bed seems to look like with the mix of the colors.. so natural and so relaxing!

These images are so wonderfully full of life with just the texture of the space and great styling.

Love them!

Inspiration

 

I am feeling a lot better today.   Barely got that post off before the flu hit me..

So much to do... so little time..  I will be searching for inspiration for a bunch of new projects that I am starting for the first part of the year today.  Please forgive me if I am slow to answer emails and get back to messages...  I working on catching up too....

guest quarters

 

We have guests this weekend, and while I wish the guest room looked like this it might be TOO comfortable - if you know what I mean.  This is so subtle and inviting with the soft layers of grey, linen and white.  

Are you having guests for the holidays?  How do you welcome your guests?

I always try to get the house to a normal level of cleanliness and fluff the pillows.  I typically spray the sheets with lavender water and  put fresh fluffy towels in the guest bath.  

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

sefte

yesterday while i was researching macrame i ran across this bedding company called sefte. when i saw these scrumptiously luxurious and eco textiles my eyeballs almost melted out of their sockets. they look so soft and are so pretty, i just want to curl up in these blankets and watch a movie or read a book. their products are made by artisans in the siwa oasis of egypt and the high andes of peru and are inspired by nature. they are committed to a world that lives in harmony with its environment, they design exquisite pieces that celebrate both the self and the world beyond. enjoy! amanda

The art of needlework is as old as civilization itself. For women that traditionally remained at home, embroidery was an expression of the innate human yearning for beauty and art. This creative and expressive craft is considered to be one step from drawing. The ancient Romans actually described embroidery as 'painting with a needle'. By rediscovering the beauty and value of Siwi women’s embroidery, and supporting Siwi women in continuing this great tradition, Sefte has not only helped to revive this dying art, it has also connected the women of the Oasis with the rest of the world.
