I’ve been sorting through A COLOSSAL PILE of textiles for the last couple weeks: specifically, BLUE & WHITES. I’ve never really organized it beyond a few curated collections over the years so I’m creating piles that work together stylistically and color wise. I’ve broken it down into a few different groups but obviously you can mix and match however you so desire. It is my intention to discount many of the ready to ship items on my ETSY store over the next couple weeks and refine and enhance the existing collections, with some great new additions.
So here goes:
INDIGO BLUES/BOHO:
Here is the stack below, in my kitchen, with my grandmother’s china on the wall and a larger plate I found at Goodwill.
Some new fabrics coming that are mixed in with the old:
I found this linen table cloth with exquisite embroidery in shades of blue:
COLLETTE DINNIGAN designed some new hotel suites two luxurious hotel suites at Bannisters by the Sea in Mollymook on the New South Wales south coast – as seen in VOGUE recently https://www.vogue.com.au/vogue-living/travel/inside-the-new-hotel-suites-designed-by-co
The BATIK FLORAL pillow in the loveseat outside my garage below has been a CUSTOMER FAVORITE for years, as it is for designers DINNNIGAN and SPIRO…
Anna Spiro creates the most beautiful interiors and exteriors (as seen above) using indigo, porcelain wares, vintage paintings and other unique finds. Staying at Halcyon Hotel in Australia is definitely on my bucket list.
This is a casual and comfortable style. Could be the Hamptons, could be the Pacific Northwest coast, or the Australian or New South Wales coast. Stripes, indigo batik patterns, blue and white ticking. Throw in the occasional hand embroidered piece, blue and white pottery, blond or lighter wood finishes, vintage paintings.
WATERY BLUES
I added another sub-category of the INDIGO BLUES called WATERY BLUES. As you can see it is inspired by the deep blue skies and oceans that look so gorgeous with indigo.
SUMMER to me is throwing on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and heading to the beach. This collection captures that feeling. Just last weekend we were at GEARHART BEACH, our happy place.
