Just perusing Ann Sacks the other day wanted to share my favs!…
Check out some of the super radical wall covering’s from Cole and Son. Just a fun way to love the envelopes we all live in!
So lately I have been lucky to get my share of masculine focused clients. I like this. There is something to be said for a strong line, iconic element or two, earthy color, a nod to Mad Men (you border on complete schmuck Draper but I’d totally make out with you), hint of man but softer than sheer brute. I started to play around a little this evening and think something along these lines could be super sweet for the right person looking for a little funk, vintage, a little masculine and something found. Plus I am really enjoying the navy/brown/mustard ménage a trios going on and add the splash of white and gold for that glint of freshness and glam- yep, I’d date this dude…
So old yet so new. Kilim prints date back to ancient times where they were produced as prayer rugs. A Kilim rug is a tightly interweaving warp and weft that produces a flat surface. The motifs differ based on their origin as do the colors (ahem…thank you Wikipedia!). All that aside they have become one of my new favorites (ok, add that to hair on hide, the color peach and mauve, antlers and animal print…oh and light pink and citron…and trouser pants). A while back I was asked to define my design style. After a lot of thought I came up with my philosophy which is that we have such an intimate relationship with our spaces that they should reflect all of who we are and all aspects of our personalities. I gravitate towards 40% timeless and classic, 30% eclectic and found, 20% modern and 10% glam all layered together to make up 100% you.
Kilim prints create this super sweet bridge between timeless, eclectic, and this new funky twist on modern…the mix. I am digging it and hope you are too!
