FALL 2022 Collection at STUDIO TULLIA

FALL 2022 Collection at STUDIO TULLIA

GREETINGS EVERYONE!

Kids are settling back into school and I’m enjoying morning walks in the neighborhood. Busy squirrels and bold crows are harvesting nuts and berries as the leaves turn vivid yellows, oranges and reds. The days and nights are getting cooler and we turn our attention toward home, right?

This latest collection was inpired by my backyard; a lively dahlia garden, an exuberant fig tree and lots of fallen pine cones.

This new fabric above featuring dragons and tigers pairs so beautifully with vibrant colors. 

I had so much fun mixing and matching these pillow cominations…woolens, velvets, wovens, printed coordinates in stripe and Les Touches in several colorways work nicely together. I even threw in some vintage.

I mixed some vintage wool (orange and brown woven) with modern solid wool along with fun prints from Schumacher, Pindler and Brunschwig and Fils.

Another great Fall fabric is Citrus Garden in primary by Schumacher that lends itself to this palette as well.

SUMMERTIME OCEAN BLUES

SUMMERTIME OCEAN BLUES

Chronicles from A Well Lived House...

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

SUMMER SALE

All ready to ship BLUE & WHITE pillows are up to 30% off.  I am reworking/rebranding my website which will be ready in a couple weeks so my ETSY shop offerings are more current.

I will be givng away FOUR PILLOWS over the next FOUR WEEKS – check out my INSTAGRAM for details.

Thanks for stopping by and ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!

How do handmade mugs, fine crystal, creature comforts like tea and gin, all while supporting handmade artisans selling on Etsy, sound for Mother’s Day?

How do handmade mugs, fine crystal, creature comforts like tea and gin, all while supporting handmade artisans selling on Etsy, sound for Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day. A day to treat one’s self as a mother, whether of children or furry ones. And/or a day to honor your Mother, Grandmother, Aunt, or any other divine being kind enough to treat you in a maternal way.  When I think about it, there have been many: neighbors, friends, colleagues, teachers, relatives.  It’s also a day to feel honored for the opportunity to be a Mother. Now that is a cause for celebration.

TURNING TOWARD BLACK & WHITE

TURNING TOWARD BLACK & WHITE

Hello Folks,

I’ve been revisiting black and white as well as moody, darker florals and grays lately.  Black and white pairs with just about any color year round but resonates with me in the cooler months as colors deepen.

BLACK, WHITE & GRAY

I am pretty happy with the new palette below but planning to add some softer, textured notes and grays to the mix in the coming months.

The Bunny Hutch fabric by Hunt Slonem for Lee Jofa has been really popular as has the FAUNA (the black spots) by Kate Spade for Kravet.   The other coordinates below work with everything and the iconic CHIANG MAI DRAGON in SMOKE is so fresh in this new color way even though its from the 20’s.

Here is how the pillow collection is looking. You may shop the full BLACK & WHITE COLLECTION with all custom sizes at my website.

Ready-mades and bargains are ready to ship right away and available at my ETSY STORE

This is another palette I came up with that adds more color and vintage wovens and needlepoint to the mix.

This pillow is a vintage Guatemalan woven pillow with embroidery. I  only have a couple left.

Pendleton Woolens in various black and whites are always a beautiful addition.

How fun are these fringe-laden pillows made from Pendleton Mill scraps!

RESEARCH

I’ve  been looking at some of these fabrics below – what do you think?

SONORA adds a sophisticated boho vibe and some gorgeous texture.

This is more a natural linen color that also adds warmth and great texture to the mix.

VENTO

And here are some of the darker patterns I am loving right now:

CHAMBRAY in CHARCOAL on linen

AURORA DAMASK on linen

BINARY EMBROIDERY

OWLISH in BLACK by Kate Spade

EXOTIC BUTTERFLY  in BLACK by Joseph Frank

ANTELOPES in JADE by Paul Poiret from the 1930’s

ANTELOPES in COBALT 

FANTASY FOREST has a vintage vibe that is fun:

DESIGN INSPIRATION

Nobody does black and white quite like http://www.asheleandro.com/

 

And, Nobody does black and white sketches quite like ALBERT HADLEY:

 

I love this black and white print:

FERNS LINOCUT PRINT by MAGPRINT on ETSY:

And is she beautiful or what?

From House of Fabulous

I want the butterfly dress:

 

GIFT ITEMS

I’ve also been adding some gifty items like this pouch using THE BUG CHICKS LOTUS Fabric for $14 for the holidays

 

and this SHANGHAI PEACOCK fabric in a glasses case below for $24

And this Clutch purse in Chiang Mai Dragon for $24

 

 

I hope you are warming up to FALL and getting ready for all the festivities coming just around the corner. We are about to start decorating for Halloween and planning to do a Day of the Dead shrine this year. Ill share it with you on INSTAGRAM

While Spring/Summer are my favorites, I love Fall but I start to get down about the rain and lessening of light for the next several months in Portland.  Thanks as always for reading and let me know your thoughts about the collection.
