Hump Day Home Makeover - Ikat Curtains

August 28, 2013

A few years ago I bought these beige ikat curtains from West Elm for my bedroom. They ended up migrating to the living room and are now back in my bedroom in New York. To me this is the testament of a good home decor piece - the ability to mix and match with different styles and settings. For today's Hump Day Home Makeover, I wanted to do something a little bit different than usual and rethink what the living room could be with the same piece. Here are the curtains in the living room from about 3 years ago...


And here's the new look!


Hope you all have been having a great week! This week has been extra special for me because one of my very best friends got engaged yesterday during her trip to Croatia! 

A HUGE Congrats to Steph & Eric on your engagement!! Love you both.

John Robshaw - Asian Influenced Textiles

September 24, 2012

The other week I checked out John Robshaw's trunk show at the Bloomingdales at 59th and Lex. His company offers a variety of bedding collections, pillows, clothing, table cloths, curtains and more. His textile designs are heavily influenced by his Asia travels, and are a great mix of color and pattern.

They are handmade by artisans in various workshops in India. I also love that John is a consultant for Aid for Artisans, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating economic opportunities for craftspeople in developing nations. Plus this makes me feel a lot better about some of his hefty prices.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Tula bedding

Pipal bedding
Afghan pillows

Bungalow pillows

Verdin pillows
Cliff Quilt

 This vintage throw is by far my favorite, but doesn't look like it's available online anymore.



Hump Day Home Makeover // Bedroom

April 25, 2012

Being that today is hump day, I'm taking it a step further and starting my very first Hump Day Home Makeover post. Knowing from experience that it's hard to get that motivation or to find the right style inspiration to redo a room in your house, every Wednesday I'll be posting my favorite room image for the week along with the pieces you need to make that look happen in your home.

To start of this week, I picked the bedroom below, because I am currently obsessed with ikat and this room is pretty much my ideal bedroom at the moment. This entire room came from a store in Australia, and it unfortunately does not ship to the U.S. or have this ikat duvet cover in stock (sorry for the tease, but come on this room is too beautiful not to share). Check out how to get the look below with similar items.
