spring fever

Designers Guild has my heart thumping and visions of swathing my entire home in her fabric, wallpaper and linens.  Since that is not possible, i'll settle on some new bedding for Spring in a very fresh color and with sweet detail

the new quilts are so beautiful, if you're a pink person (like me), look no further, your new bedding is here:


Acanda Camelia pink printed quilt

 or in blue


Acanda Colbalt Blue printed quilt

 (p.s. this pattern/colorway also come in a table linen...  I want both - totally in love with look of this).  or maybe just the napkins and place mats:


Acanda place mat in Lime




Acanda napkin in lime


i'm having a hard time....  it is not beyond me to want show every single image on the site - i love it all.  more posts of the Designers Guild bedding will be coming in the near future!

All are available to purchase on the designers guild website.

Build a beautiful table

with wedding season upon us, if you know a couple who are architecture enthusiasts, here are some soup bowls would do the trick (quite beautifully)



Alessandro Zambelli ceramic palace tableware


these Florentine-inspired Renaissance homes can set the entire table.  best part: you don't have to find cabinet space for them and instead showcase your architectural dinnerware s as a centerpiece.  here's the entire set:

from left to right (all roofs are serving dishes)
dinner plates, side plates, small bowl and soup bowl

and here's how it looks as a table setting:



clever, fun and a great set to collect or give (fabulous housewarming gift).  i looooove this!
