In an ideal world my home would be filled with John Robshaw linens. The Indian block printed textiles are colorful and classic with just the right amount of bohemian flair. I’m particularly drawn to the blue colorways which remind me of my collection of blue and white ginger jars. If only I had made their sample sale last week in NYC!
Who knew black and blue could be such a chic color combination? Wear this tribal stripe scarf and decorate with this blue arrows tray. You can have both for under $65, quite the bargain!
A few weeks ago I included a star chart in an In Pursuit post that I haven’t been able to get out of my head. I’ve become obsessed with the idea of incorporating one of these vintage charts into my own decor. I love that they’re a little bit masculine and I’ve always been interested in the constellations and the mythology behind them.
These photos from New York City based interior designer, Thomas O’Brien’s blog, are only fueling the fire. Thomas collects celestial maps and lunar prints and this chart has moved with him from apartment to apartment over time. The vignette in the third photo stops me in my tracks every time! You really must read his blog post and check out his other astrological art.
What do you think, are you a fan?

Happy first day of spring! I’ve added quite a few items to my wish list as we prepare for warmer days ahead. For me: Virginia Johnson’s lobster print tote for the Maine getaway we’re planning this summer; a statement ring in the most gorgeous shade of jade; flats to satisfy my craving for all things neon. For my home: One of my favorite fabrics of all time, Fig Leaf, by Peter Dunham; the perfect shade for my vintage tortoise glass lamps; a moroccan inspired rug for the living room; anything and everything Roberta Roller Rabbitt, especially this kurta cover up.
Anne Maxwell Foster and Suysel dePedro Cunningham are no newbies to the design scene; in fact, I’m sure you’ve seen their show stopping work at the 2011 Hampton Designer Showhouse, as one of Traditional Home Magazine’s 2011 Top 20 “New Traditionals”, or most recently their window display for Lillian August. The dynamic duo behind Tilton Fenwick have been tearing it up, and everyone (deservedly so) has been taking notice!
Since I can’t stop perusing their portfolio, I thought I’d share a few of my favorites. The bedroom in the first photo is at the very top of my list. The wallpaper, spindle bed, and bedding are just perfection! A close second would have to be their room from the 2011 Hampton Designer Showhouse– I swear I dream about those chairs. So in love!
What I most admire about Anne and Suysel’s work is their use of color and seemingly effortless ability to layer pattern and texture. All of their rooms are warm, inviting, and most importantly appear to be lived in and achievable.
So cheers to the Tilton Fenwick team and the inspiring designs I’m sure we will be seeing from them in the future!
